But how can you want to risk your content--your journal, your writings, your friendships, all these things that are so important to our lives--to a company that has made it very clear that it 1) will arbitrarily delete paid users without any warning or recourse (or refund) and 2) will mock and ridicule those who complain?
There's so many serious issues here about what art is or isn't "acceptable" and to whom. Not to mention the issue of what explanations, clarifications, or review processes a company owes its paying users. Instead they are laughing at our serious questions and mocking us behind our backs.
Sure, they are only targeting Harry Potter fan artists now, but (in this, and the breastfeeding debacle, and even the original deletion of fandom wank) they've made it very clear that they will target anything that threatens their revenue or randomly annoys them. If some crazy conservative group DOES target slash (or something else that affects us directly), LJ sure as hell isn't going to stand up for us.
