flonnebonneWARNING. THIS POST IS OFFENSIVE TO WELL-MEANING PEOPLE.
It occurs to me that, amidst this storm of outrage over the recent spate of controversial LJ purges, an opportunistic sock-puppeter could make a killing. Here's how:
1. Create a sock puppet journal.
2. Make your puppet a pervert who lists only verboten interests (eg: "incest," "doing cows," "Mr. Children," "Bush," etc.)
3. Sock up some quickie squickie ficcies, making sure to submit them to popular coms.
4. Wait for the deletion or kill the sock puppet yourself.
5. Have your real journal cry about the death of the puppet.
6. Get involved. Get outraged. Tell everyone in loving detail about how your sock died a sudden and terrible death.
7. Bask in sympathy.
Or you could just tell everyone you had a friend whose LJ was deleted and skip all the in-between stuff.
Okay, all kidding aside, deleting journals solely on the basis of what they've got under their LJ interests is a terrible thing. I'm not one to get up in arms about this kind of thing, but I think anyone with a fannish LJ should be aware of it. And it's not a bad idea to check your profile page and icons and whatever the heck else they're patrolling now in case you have any verboten words in there.
