Anddddd it begins again.
I was hoping upon first hearing aboutponderosa121's suspension that things weren't as bad as they seem, but no, it looks like they pretty much are.
Shit.
First of all, this was a post at![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif)
pornish_pixies. The fact that it was only a personal journal suspended and not the entire comm is at least somewhat reassuring. The fact that the personal journal was PERMANENTLY suspended WITHOUT WARNING is extremely disconcerting.
I've heard unsubstantiated rumors that maybe it's not just LJ this time, but pressure from Someone Much Bigger with a bit of a stake in making sure that Harry Potter in particular is not, uh... sullied. Which means this may be a witch hunt. It also means that it's probably targeting art, because that's something very easy to point to and say BADDIRTYWRONG.
And to be completely frank, we know that Pondo's stuff is about as bad as it gets. As in, obviously underaged non-con and that sort of thing. Who's to say it has no redeeming value as art? LIVEJOURNAL AND THEIR SPONSORS, APPARENTLY.
I'm not going to panic until I hear more, but I am going to recommend thaterotic_elves artists friends-lock any art that contains OBVIOUSLY underaged characters. I suspect it is not quite as big a deal for us as it is for pornish_pixies.
ETA: There's a post here with up-to-date information. Also, spamming the news post seems to get people's attention eventually.
