Firefox news: Livejournal Draws a Line in the Sand.

Includes a hypothetical that is actually making me ponder now - a vampire that has the body of a 14 year old, while being 1400 years old, doing naughty things. Since the objection to underage sexual activity is that their brains aren't developed enough to give informed consent, and theoretically the vampire would be old enough to, presumably... But personally, a 14 year's old body, still creepy. I think to me that's the sort of thing that's okay, but I wouldn't do it myself, and I'd possibly be casting a wary eye on the people who'd jump at the chance (depending on their age, circumstances, etc, obviously). :P

Someone submitted a Harry Potter fanfic to test the rules. In it Harry spelled himself to be about 14 to engage in kinky sex with his lover. (That was pretty much the entire plot from what the author said). That was fine. When she took out the fact that it was a spell then it wasn't fine.

Interestingly the abuse team couldn't tell her whether it would be fine without the spell in it without seeing the edited version. If they actually had comprehensive guidelines you'd think they could...

So it looks like they're going with the 'I know it when I see it' definition of obscenity.
wow, just wow. I was tempted to rewrite my story taking the vampire elements (but leaving the spell) to see what they would say (there are other squickworthy issues like the fact that the guy in the story was her step-father in life) but then I realized that I just didn't care enough anymore.
Word. I like my account but I am moving everything over here. If I get banned I get banned. I don't care enough any more. If I get banned I'll set up another free lj account (I have several email addresses, I'll just use one I haven't given them before) to read my comms and stop posting fic and icons over there.
