Yup--though I'd say "typically" rather than "oddly". (-; Even further confirmed by someone pointing out to me that it was this pic and not a violently sexual pic the same artist rendered of Hermione/Fenrir that came under fire. I'll go check out your post later. The sexism against the female fandom base I think conflates erratically with the m/m porn predominantly by women (which I think may be more threatening than m/m porn by men to heteronormitivity).
It's still the" first strike and you're out without warning" treatment of Lj users, who are not harrassing or spamming others, as well as LJ's determining artistic value, that disturbs me most here with how LJ is doing business. I'm thinking of organizing a fandom LJ strike (boycott on making entries for a week+, which will effect Lj's advertising stats) with a small list of basic demands. I think it could be useful to both the "stay and fight" and the "go elsewhere" camps. Whaddya think?
