This post highlights perhaps the most egregious and expected part of the great LJ/6A drama - which is that it's all pretty much based in that terribly American habit of violence is okay and sex isn't. As someone who spends an inordinate amount of time studying ritualized violence, somehow, this actually irks me more, although explaining why would take more time than I have at a public Internet termie at this hotel.

Why, why, why?! I have now officially decided that my business goes elsewhere. And I am *not* happy about it. Why must they act this way?

It's one of those things that completely baffles me as a European. Hurting people is OK but giving them pleasure isn't? Now that's a perverted view of life if ever there was one.

Sorry for the anonimity but I don't have a lj account. I just wanted to thank you for your essay about Snape and gender, I found it illuminating. I've begun to write an essay about Snape myself, dangerously inclined toward psychoanalysis ;-), so thank you for the inspiration. Cecilia (www.amiamiprod.com)

Thank you! I'm planning to turn the Snape and gender thing into a full-length piece, hopefully for a con, but even if it doesn't get picked up as a paper for Terminus, I'll probably write it up at greater length for something. I took a quick look at your site and am eager to check it out when I get back home and on my own machine.

Bah, indeed. LJ's behavior throughout this whole thing has been utterly disgusting. I keep hoping that they'll turn it around, and they keep failing. It makes me sad.
