I will be closing my Livejournal account by the end of the month. This is entirely due to the new ToS, which I refuse to agree to for reasons outlined here.
I can be found on Dreamwidth, AO3, Twitter, or Tumblr.
I’ve spent over a decade on LJ, and been in too many communities to count. Deleting is going to feel like losing a chunk of my cybernet soul. I’ll miss all the comment threads and all the locked posts, but this is as much a sign as any.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
The newest and most blatant example of dA's skewed treatment of gay people is a new stamp by prosaix "Homophobe and Proud of It"I will get to fixing the broken images caused by the account deletion eventually.
Try reporting it. You can't.
Why? Because tons of people have already tried and dA administrators have marked the case "invalid".
Their stock answer:
"Comment: Thank you for attempting to bring this deviation to the attention of the staff. Unfortunately this deviation does not meet the current definition for "Hate Art". It is important to remember that actual "Hate Art" expresses clearly racist ideals, such as the genocide or enslavement of a certain race or class of people. A work which simply expresses a dislike or negative opinion for a subject is not "Hate Art" regardless of how strong that opinion might be expressed, neither are deviations which you simply find offensive because the beliefs or opinions are the opposite of your own. Please review our FAQ entry on the subject of "Hate Art" available here [link] so that you can be more familiar with the official definition."
