What bothered me is that WFI, from what I can gather an American religious-right pressure group, can say jump and 6A say how high. How long before some other pressure group kicks up a fuss about other 'damaging' influences like 'alternative' sexuality, or reproductive rights, or Satanism?
The purge was just ridiculously heavy handed. And hoplessly insensitive given the number of survivor sites it took out, way to protect people, take away thier safe space... Thinking about it, it's a good job they didn't look at tags as well or we would have lost most of the feminist comms as well. I agree to some extent that some of the fanfic sites purged did push it a bit (although, come on, pornish_pixies wasn't that bad) and may have needed their content reviewing, but that should have been on an individual basis, and proceeded by a formal warning that what they were publishing was verging on child porn and thus of dubious legality.
That nipplegate thing made me want to spit. Since when is breastfeeding offensive, ffs!
