Kevin Smith is directing a horror film with a villain inspired by Fred Phelps:

In a followup to a story I've written re LJ tolerating communities promoting "Bible-based baby beating" whilst nuking fandom communities and fanart posters (original post here and mirrored on innocence_jihad, update here and mirrored on Innocence Jihadhere), it seems that LJ Abuse got back to me in regards to one of the missives I sent them (regarding trainupachild).

The answer that I got back was...shall we say...enlightening.

( LJ admits in abuse report reply that they cannot in fact make legal judgements, differentiate between RL threats of child abuse and adult fanart involving persons over the age of majority )

Of course, when I tried to provide LJ Abuse this info I found the abuse ticket had been closed and I no longer had "sufficient privileges" to open it. :P (So far, the ticket re babywise is still open.)

FWIW, here are two requests:

a) It has been suggested by multiple people that the California District-Attorney's office be contacted. The information I have provided to Livejournal in my abuse reports (specifically, all evidentiary links noted) are in the Dark Christianity posts noted above, along with LJ responses. The Office of Victim's Services is linkable here (unfortunately, there is no specific department for reporting allegations of child abuse).

I would in fact encourage multiple complaints of this sort.

b) Please publicise this widely. At this point, this needs to go to media (possibly even television and dead-tree media) as well as widely on the Internet.

Here's a delightful tale of religiously justified paedophilia and incest from South Australia:

A pastor from a South Australian fundamentalist church has been jailed for eight-and-a-half years after admitting he had sex with two of his teenage daughters.

The 54-year-old man, who cannot be named, pleaded guilty to seven counts each of incest and unlawful sexual intercourse.

The court heard that the man had sex with his daughters for nearly a decade in the 1990s at the family property.

The man later told the court he had sex with the girls to "educate" them on how to be good wives - not for his own gratification.

Judge David Lovell rejected that, saying the man's explanation for the abuse "defied belief".

In setting a four-year non-parole period, Judge Lovell said the man had "good prospects" of rehabilitation, and continued to have the support of his wife and church.

Fortunately, the judge rightly spotted him for a bampot and booted his idiot arse into jail. I'm wondering if he'll still find his excuse of education as valid when the large, hairy men he'll soon be living with use it do explain their actions.
