This is a very simple issue that some people are sullying with personal opinions. You don't like pedophiles. Good! Me neither. I hate 'em, on a very personal level. The stories with minors make you uncomfortable. Don't read them. But don't cheer because Jinn is being forced to remove the "young" stories unless you're ready to cheer the day anything the US government deems to be "hardcore" is removed from US servers, and any other servers they can bully into sanctioning this action.

Pay attention, folks. You're humming a cheery song as your personal freedoms are being removed right under your own noses. And I think that scares me more than what the government is doing; the fact that so many supposedly broad-minded people are so willing to support this. I think Carnivale Ed said it best, but I'm too lazy to quote so I'll paraphrase. Go back and read it for full effect, though.

Don't applaud the loss of something simply because you don't like it. Examine why it was lost, and then mourn it. /Carnivale Ed sorta-quote

If you can't get past the category that's being removed, pretend it's something else. Pretend it's whatever category you come here to read because it's so much better, so much more explicit, so much dirtier and vast and beautifully eclectic than any other site I've seen (with the possible exception of Asstr). Pretend it's the category you read when no one else is looking, and you found the best selection of stories on that particular subject right here at BDSM library. That's not such a stretch. In fact... Pretend that the whole site is coming down right now. In a way, it is.

Do you understand why this is such a bad thing? Does anyone really feel like there's nothing wrong with what's going on? Anyone?
