Nov. 30th, 2007 11:17 amI do not support censorship in any way, shape or form.
But I'm going to go along with the new tide on this one, and I've changed the setting on my journal to Adult Concepts.
According to LJ's EXCITING NEW POLICY!, this means that - well, I'm still not exactly sure what it means, except that, in theory, anyone under 14 won't be able to see all the naughty words I use in here on a regular basis - until they click on a button that lets them right on in anyway.
I thought there was a point to this at first - that there would be some kind of rational filtering process, because even though I hate censorhip, I'm okay with the idea that my private life away from the kiddies stays in the grown up room -
But all it really is is a way for LiveJournal to try to keep from getting sued by some cross-eyed, web-toed, bible-banging Jesus Nazi who can't absorb the fact that weird and perverted shit DOES happen in the world, and yes, Virginia, people DO take the name of the Lord in vain, because to a lot of people, that's all that God is - a word. A vague concept that the monkeys who were scared of lightning and thunder came up with to explain the scary, scary noises.
Um, what was I saying?
I have no idea.
But all the smart and cool kids seem to be doing it, some I'm going to be a fucking lemming and do it, too.
So if you're under 14 and you just got to see the nasty swear word?
GOOD FOR YOU, KID.
Now go do your homework, you little shit.
