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

The problem is that what LJ has done is deemed something that is not offensive as offensive.

You act as if there is some objective standard for what's offensive. There isn't.

You act as if preventing someone from using a breastfeeding icon prevents them from breastfeeding. It doesn't.

You act as if LJ has some obligation to host content other than any-damn-content-it-pleases. It doesn't.

On top of which, no one is preventing these people from using the icons in any case.

I'm playing the world's smallest violin for these poor oppressed souls.
