LJ Abuse vs Boob Nazis
[info]cali4niachef is informed by LJ Abuse her default icon is inappropriate and to cease using it by the 23rd or face having her account suspended.

Boob Nazis. LJ Abuse. Breastfeeding Icons.

I think we can all see where this is going. ([info]booju_mooju first of all it seems.)

Once the anti-breastfeeding comms get hold of this it should really take off.

Edit the first Thanks to [info]quickfade Apparently [info]hardvice is responsible Icons in comments NSFW.

Edit the second Thanks to a mousie. [info]cf_hardcore join the party.

Edit the third Thanks to [info]freezer It hits [info]metaquotes.

Edit the forth [info]stupid_free weigh in. And [info]fuckyoulist makes an appearance too.

Edit the fifth Just how much further can it spread? As far as retarded_icons, blackfolk and feminist apparently.

Edit the sixth [info]hardvice shows solidarity with the [info]boob_nazis. And [info]magdalene74 has a new lj approved breastfeeding icon.

And to think when I originally posted this I was worried it wasn't wanky enough.

Edit the seventh Annnnnnnnnnd here's anti-feminist joining in the fun.

Edit the eighth Predictably - Exposing LJ Abuse

Oh they really have no idea the legal ramifications, do they.

If they don't respond to you call the media, call anyone who will listen. They can't censor your breastfeeding icons if they don't censor icons with violence/abortion pics/feces/etc.


... yeah. They don't really grasp the whole "default icon" concept.

Or hell, the "It's just the internet" concept.

Hu, so that's what an offensive default icon looks like? LJ abuse doesn't go out a lot, yes?

...there are anti-breastfeeding comms?

Apparently the reporter was hardvice, who was told to stop using one of hir default icons by LJ abuse and has been on a vendetta ever since...

Should be fun!

Some icons in the comments of hardvice's post are NSFW. Now if you excuse me, I have to go scrub my brain with bleach.

I really can't see how cali4niachef's icon--or any other breastfeeding icon--contravenes LJ rules. It just...doesn't.

On the other hand, I dislike her icon because it's so unattractive. The breastfeeding doesn't bother me, but the icky colouration and godawful text does. Instead of complaining about the boobies, why doesn't LJ Abuse tackle the real menace of ugly icons?

you know what? this is fucked. why should a picture of a woman nursing be deemed inappropriate. i hope they do make a huge fuss over it. lj doesn't seem to have a problem with my icon of a vagina with a pair of fake vampire teeth poking out of it.

That's way too many pics of children on tits for my tastes.

***WARNING! OPINION! MAY CONTRADICT YOURS!***
I see breastfeeding icons in the same way I see someone putting up an icon of them making love. Yes, beautiful and natural and loving and blah blah blah, but in this society some people don't like seeing it right off the bat and it doesn't have to be your bloody default icon. Maybe it's because I feel that someone shouldn't be in your face about stuff to the point of being a asshole about it.
***Opinion over. You may now return to your regularly scheduled Fandom_Wank.***

While I do find lj objecting to breastfeeding icons pretty stupid (you funny uptight Americans!), it would be kind of cool if all of the most rabid, judgmental twats in those boob nazi communities were all suspended en masse.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong
[info]cat_mcdougall
2006-05-20 01:09 pm UTC (link)
Alright, so this is the way it works;

Your default icon --the one that is used automatically when you post a comment/post unless you select a separate one-- cannot be offensive --as deemed by whatever person is defining it at the moment, or LJ TOS. Whichever. However, you can still have and use the "offensive" icon if you so choose. You don't have to take it down, just unclick it as "default."

That's correct, yes?

If it is, then I'm not understanding the problem.

Just... remember to use it when posting? Gods. It isn't that hard. *uses her DEFAULT icon*
