Wait, what?
LJ IS FUCKING UP AGAIN.
In a very weird and confusing way. I saw this first on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
beandelphiki's journal.
Apparently, 6A/SUP have disappeared a bunch of interests off the "Most Popular Interests" page, those being
Sex, Boys, Guys, Girls, Fanfiction, Yaoi, Hardcore, Porn, Bondage, Faeries, Pain, Depression, Bisexuality
What? What what? Makes no sense! Also, makes me unhappy. I've no idea what to make of it. Here's the source where Bean got the info from.
My paid account expires in May. I am seriously considering going back to a basic account.
ETA: Also, another idea I had. Someone should open up a comm where people can offer their old LJ's for new users to take over. Considering that new journals cannot be downgraded all the way to basic anymore, no old user should delete or abandon their journals. If someone wants to leave, they could put their journal up 'for sale' at that comm, for new users to take it over. Using ljArchive, the old user could backup their journal and then delete their entries, and all the new user would have to do was change the password, and optionally pay for a new name. I don't know if this is a good idea, but it's crossed my mind and I thought I'd put it out there.

...And queers referring to themselves as such. :( It really disturbs me that homophobia is probably the real reason behind that one. (Because why would lj REALLY have an issue with mythical beasts?)
Honestly, "faeries"? Does it get much more harmless? "Fags" as a censored interest I could sort of understand, but... Yeah. *sigh*

I have to say, I'm not all that surprised that their censorship speaks of blatant homophobia (I mean, censoring bisexuality? That's not even trying to be descreet about it.), because this is about how they want to be seen by the public, and they don't want to be seen as the internet Gay and Lesbian Center. It sucks, but it doesn't surprise me.
But the faeries surprised me, because, yeah, it doesn't get much more harmless than that. Also, it's an interest that I think in at least 40% of the cases actually did mean the mythical creatures. Are they going to censor bears next?
