LJ etc

[tadorna]

So I've been seeing various reports that LJ is censoring various search terms from the 'most popular interests page', including the following: Sex, Boys, Guys, Girls, Fanfiction, Yaoi, Hardcore, Porn, Bondage, Faeries, Pain, Depression, and Bisexuality.

Obviously this, if true, is a valid cause for concern -- particularly for someone who writes Christopher Biggins slash. It's also pretty damn weird, if you ask me, but then I write Christopher Biggins slash, so it's probably best you don't ask me. So, anyway, I just went and looked at the most popular interests page to check it out. But all those search terms appear now to be included.

Were they gone at some point? Did they get put back? Or am I missing something (always a distinct possibility!)

Anyway, I just thought peeps might like to know, as I haven't seen this particular development (if it is a development) mentioned anywhere else yet.

I know. I couldn't be bothered to read it properly, which is why my attempt at explaining is so vague.

I approve of morals being replaced by coral and sorrels. Both of those things are nice to have around. The half-rhymes, though, those might be taking it a bit far.

Yayyy! *Waits impatiently*

Weeell, to be honest, I wasn't that wedded to horror and sorrow. I shall suggest losing them at the next meeting of the Moral Replacement Society.

The Moral Replacement Society, I'm sure, needs and values your firm stand in these matters. :)

I hope not! Firm stands are the next on the list to be replaced.

Aha... firm stand. That sounds rude. Meheheh...

Now please bear with my while I attempt to post this abomination. (Might take a while, they both talk in italics loads).

Firm stands replaced with clean hands perhaps? Or new glands? Or white sands?

Either way, I'm fully support this society.

*Waits* :)

Rubber bands and distant lands have both been mooted.
