Why This Matters (To Me)

[astoryandasong]

I have seen a few folk say that it doesn't matter what happens to fandom, because Warriors For Innocence are doing a good thing and getting people who molest children off the 'net. Let me be clear, I have no problem with Lj tossing actual comms or journals which advocate or enable the abuse of children. But hey, when they delete a Nabokov comm or a survivor group? That just takes it too far. It wouldn't be so bad if Lj investigated each case and weighed the individual merits of the comm. If they had bothered to check the Lolita comm they would have known that it was no threat to children.
But why be sensible when we can have a good old fashioned knee-jerk bahleetion fest. To be honest the group scared the crap out of me the first time someone pointed me towards the blog. It reminded me of the time that a mob attacked a woman cause they thought she was a child molester. They confused the words Paediatrician and paedophile. The article, by the way can be seen here.
So you know what? Fuck it. Go leave a comment on lj dw_news, join fandom_counts, make yourself heard.
ETA: cussedness has done some google-fu and found that not only do the Warrior-chumps hate child-molesters, they hate bi, gay and trans folk too.  The post on the lovely WFI'ers is here
