pornish_pixies got hit with the banhammer. They ain't the only ones. And apparently one small vigilante organization with no links to actual law enforcement or anti-child-predation groups is responsible. WarriorsForInnocence.org is apparently pressuring LJ and SixApart to permanently suspend certain journals and comms. Some of them are very not cool and involve real people getting really abused by real sick bastards who think it's kosher to do this and then post on LJ about it. Some of them, on the other hand, are fandom sites, including fic archives, fic authors, and several roleplaying journals (!).
One Piece =/= HP. We're a lot smaller, a lot less well known, and a much tinier target. Chances of us getting hit with splooge from this wankstorm? Next to nil. BUT. Purging your interests of anything triggery (shota, incest, D-cest, and Zeff/Sanji come to mind for the OP fandom) and locking adult material is considered to be a very good thing right now. Mine's already locked, fortunately.
Shota gives me the hardcore creepy-crawlies, and incest is one of my big squicks. But I'll defend the right of people to post fanfiction on the subject until my dying breath.
ETA: Beat to it by OPY. Now here's hoping that shiny and COMPLETELY PUBLIC post doesn't bring the comm some unhappy attention, because I'm DAMN sure there's Zeff/Sanji shotacon somewhere deep in the archives and OPY's the only place the entirety of Conspicuous Consumption is posted. Fuck all if I'm losing my bundtfucking, especially considering I can't repost or archive it without![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

ETA 2:bookshop's excellent discourse on why fen need to stand up for themselves. Sheeeeeeeit, at this rate our fanfic panel might wind up being half about this and the FanLib drama and half about actually writing fanfic. -.-;
