Oh dear

It looks like mucun has closed her slash site:

Wonder what happened? Anybody here read Japanese? It looks like she left a note.



ETA: OK, I've been over to Rei's journal and read the latest on the brouhaha.

And I can say that I am now officially disgusted with this fandom. I suppose it's a branch of my disgust with this prudish, finger-pointing, dirty-minded culture in general, that can see some kind of twisted sex in a rather sweet image of affection between friends. God, people can be filthy sometimes.

Feh.

This is so well expressed and I totally agree with you. I'm at a complete loss as to why some Americans have this view about sex and feel it absolutely fine to insist others have it too. I'm English and would have had no problem with my children seeing that original picture but then I don't automatically see wrong when I see explicit nude pictures, or naked guys together and neither thank god, do they.
Rei has done some superb pictures and it hurts to think that she has been attacked by an anonymous poster who hasn't the courage to sign his/her name. I really feel for her.

Thanks, LSR. There is a twisted sickness to the "morals" in this country that I find maddening. Combine it with the American tendency to self-worship and the results can be totally disheartening. Like I said, this isn't the first time it's happened in this fandom, and the whole thing just makes me want to deliver some spankings and send them to bed without supper.

Hear, hear! Very well put.
