Epic Fail

Backstory: LJ has gotten back into the habit of suspending users for questionable policy violations. This time it's for posting porno fanart featuring a certain teenaged boy wizard. Fandom flips its shit, starts screaming about the not-even-applicable-in-this-situation First Amendment, and kills the funny. LJ continues to bumble around without a clue, bringing the funny back with its antics. There are cat macros and accusations of fail from all sides.

And then an employee appears in lj_biz to answer user questions, which is where ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE. A straw-mannish question about why pro-anorexia groups are allowed to stay despite the harm they're causing to actual, for-real children, is asked.

It seems that ana communities are just support groups for girls who aspire to be thin!

My jaw is on the fucking floor. Seriously, WHAT. Who can spend five minutes in a pro-anorexia community and come out of it talking like a fuckin' Care Bear has just eaten their brain? These communities are intended for the specific purpose of teaching youngsters how to starve themselves to death. And if that's not enough, they're festering sewers of fat-hate.

Oh, LJ representative. You've really stepped in it now.
