I think it's retarded if it isn't solely motivated by livejournal's tendency to shut down comms that go against their policies. It makes sense for harenchibox, it doesn't make sense for fic comms - and I know that in itself doesn't make sense, but as you guys say with the print vs. picture... I read Exit to Eden when I was, I dunno, 15? and I bought it at a thrift store run by a church group, for fuck's sake. It's ten times as explicit/corrupting/whatever argument as any porn movie I've managed to see yet and you know those would never ever be allowed in the town let alone that thrift shop... okay yeah, there was probably pr0n somewhere in Soldotna (it's where my Gramma and Grampa live so I've never had occasion to find out, staying with them every time I'm there as I do), but you know. I'd have to have three kinds of ID and a couple people there to swear up and down that I really was old enough and, beyond that, that I really was allowed to see it, since, ya know, I'm a giiiiirl. -_-;; Or else there's the other scenario that's the sleaze guy working there hitting on you nonstop and nastily just because you're a chick buying porn/whatever... anyway... can I just leave this with a nice rousing humanity I hate you. ??
Still, there's a lot of places that burn/ban books even now... maybe the people who restrict like that are from that sort of environment and are afraid?
