Rant About a Couple Random Things

[soltian]

The nudity policy on DA is complete shit. I don't think I can tolerate it for very long. I want to DO something about it. Everyone, let me know if you're interested in perhaps forming a group protest. The censorship is killing me.

Other than that, 217 was the best chapter in a while. I'm extremely saddened by the nature of Kimimaro's death. It was affrontingly tragic, every detail of it made me ache with pity. The poor, poor boy. The GaaraLee was effin adorable though. Gaara: LETS GO FLY ON CLOUDS OF SAND TOGETHER!! Lee: *GIGGLE* OKAY!!

I need sleep.

I have to say I agree with Croaky here, they're doing it for legal reasons. They're not just trying to censor everyone like big evil tyrants. And people had fair warning, had anyone bothered to read the header addressing the new policy.

Yeah, reading through this has helped me accept it better, though I still really don't like it. What a bother the US is.

What a bother, indeed... As it is now, it seems I underestimated the cencoring a little in my earlier talks. I am not surprised, given than I AM but a jaded Swede that doesn't understand these things. Ha ha.

There are the leagal reasons no doubt, but when I asked an admin/mod/whatev (I can never keep track of those) about the depiction of the sexual act itself and got the reply that it is not allowed in 'any form'. Well, be jeezus how deviant of them. It looks bad indeed if they have chosen to go further than laws-etc require. But! I shall wait until the official new etiquette policy is posted before I even decide whenever or not I am going to 1) be uupset 2) do something or 3) laugh and shake my head. I have been through all these community-etc censor and rules and whatever riots one time too many already and really -to quote Shikamaru; getting all worked up is much too troublesome. And seldom does it help, either. ^^

If it's not allowed in any form why don't we just give up now. I've seen nude embracing statues and paintings in public museums, no one seems to think those are offensive. Oh that's right. They're ART, and anything put on DA is just not in the same category! I forgot n___n *Feeling very sarcastic at the moment*

My sentiments exactly. It is in fact so redicilus should this be entierly true, that I can't really get angry. More like baffled sad amused. *pats*
