"The recent unpleasantness on LJ has spawned a new community, [livejournal.com profile] fandom_counts, intended to show Six Apart (LJ's owners) exactly how pervasive fandom is, how many fans (in the fannish sense of the word) there are here. It's not intended to be a posting community; just... if you read fanfic, or write it, or support the concept of it, then go here and join. And then post something about it yourself, to tell your FList."


I don't like fanfic. I find most of the overtly sexual stuff sets off my squick alarms at levels not seen in years. I find casual descriptions of non-consensual sex insulting, knowing too many survivors. However, I find mindless censorship even worse. Six Apart has caved in to a woman who is, at best, batshit insane. Six Apart needs to restore all the deleted journals and communities, issue a massive apology to all users, and then learn that any whackjob can claim to be an organization with LEO connections

The first thing that came into my mind was "Low Earth Orbit". It just didn't sound like it fit the context.

Too few TLAs out there, I think.

That's usually where my mind goes with LEO, but I wrote this while traking multiple threads about the situation, so the law enforcement meaning popped up.
