LJ Abuse vs Boob Nazis
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. (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 quickfade Apparently hardvice is responsible Icons in comments NSFW.

Edit the second Thanks to a mousie. cf_hardcore join the party.

Edit the third Thanks to freezer It hits metaquotes.

Edit the forth stupid_free weigh in. And 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 hardvice shows solidarity with the boob_nazis. And 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

	Why would a wedding picture be tacky or annoying? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	...Um, I think anything I say here will probably start wank. And I'd rather not wank over this, as it's just personal preference, so please forgive me if I don't answer your question. (Reply to this)(Parent)

For the same reason the "precious child" baby picture icons are (IMHO) tacky. Why choose pictures of your real life family to represent yourself in a public forum? I don't care how cute you think your wedding was, and if I care to look at your personal pictures I'll come look at them in your journal. That's just my opinion though, and I wouldn't attack someone for using such an icon; it's not wrong or offensive or inappropriate. I just think it's, as I said, tacky.

Totally personal preference, mind you.

That gets right down into the whole purpose of icons, doesn't it? For me, and I suspect for a lot of people, icons represent the way we present ourselves online, our interests mainly. Pictures of family, people we persumably know in Real Life and have little need to converse with in an online forum, are a bit out of place.

Strangly enough I don't have a problem with people having their spouse in an icon, but am totally creeped out when they use one of their kids.

I have that same reaction. I think it's because the spouse has the ability to say, "Hey, not comfortable having my face out where John/Jane Q. Netstalker can recognize me," while the kids really don't have the ability and/or sense of potential disaster.

	Which is quite possibly why I find breastfeeding icons so disturbing. You know that somewhere out there some pervert is wanking off to them. (Reply to this)(Parent)
