Those Warriors For Innocence are really not getting the hang of this whole "fictional" thing, are they?
Maybe every fan should stick a label on their journals:
"All works of fiction on this LJ are - quite surprisingly - fictional, and no real persons were harmed in their making. The fictional situations depicted in this work of fiction are in no way intended to be an endorsement of real life situations. The fictional relationships depicted in this work of fiction are - similarly, although surely to no-one's great astonishment - not representative of real life relationships, and that whole fictional thing would surely absolve me of any kind of intent to perform any of the acts otherwise described in these pages of fiction.
Take that and shove it up your (non-fictional) ass, Warriors For Innocence!"
*coughs*
For the record, I'm not affected by this witch-hunt, it just seems like a pretty short-sighted and rather stupidly insular thing to do.
ETA: A short summary and a few links for those who aren't aware of the kerfuffle.
LJs are being deleted solely based on their interest lists. This is traceable back to at least one group that seems to be taking a moral crusade perspective on the matter of people who list questionable interests on their LJ.

marag was my first notice of this happening and her post is here. She led me to this post on liz_marcs LJ. Over on JournalFen: there's a Fandom Wank post about it.
And I imagine that, sometime in the next few days,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
metafandom will catch up with all the posts that have been made (possibly) and have a humungous post with as many links as they can fit into a single post. Possibly.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Not my cup of tea and don't expect me to participate, but I've written rape scenarios. Doesn't mean I imagine being the perpetrator or the receiver.
And, as various people have mentioned, the whole "we are the only thing that stands between good and evil" is just a little prideful. Uh, no. There are plenty of other communities and associations dedicated to making sure that evil doesn't prosper.
Some of them were lost in the Deletegate.
