I think I just aged 4 decades.

I am a fairly liberal parent, okay, no, I am an extremely liberal parent. The line I draw for what my daughter may or may not be exposed to has made more than one person cringe ...
And yet I just found something that made even me go "What in fuck is this doing linked from the LJ homepage!??!!"

Everyone (over the age of majority) following along?

Featured on the LJ homepage.

One click away and we are still good. The list is a bit … strange from a western perspective maybe (or so say the comments). Not the point, but there is that link there.

Click the link (click 2) and … huh. The side bar here is certainly ‘interesting’ and I can see some having an issue with their 13 year old child seeing this (No, I am not one of them, but I can at least see how it might be an issue).

I am not seeing what I think I am seeing. AM I seeing what I think I am seeing?

Oh. My. Gods.

3 simple clicks from the homepage of LiveJournal. 3 clicks. 3 clicks I can see a lot of early teen children following. It started out with the hook of “what is cute” and then reels in with  “cosplay”.

Am I the only one having an issue with this?

thats way past cosplay. I wouldn't even let my 18 year old (If I had a 18 year old, or was old enough to have one) look at something like this. What was this person thinking putting up that link?

[chillyzgrrlsims.livejournal.com]

Agreeing with misskeresa. Actually, I don't even want to see it!

My honey and I are both smh. That's a brilliant example of rule #34. I agree, that shouldn't be linked to LJ's homepage. We're grown adults and don't want to see it, I doubt any parent wants to let their children see that.

You know what...this isn't the first time I've seen something like this. one time when I came onto the LJ web page, I had porn ads on my f-list. I was all wTFery on that!

LJ = classy? I'm pretty sure they don't check many of the links they post past the first click, if they even look that far. Is it wrong that something like this doesn't shock me (LJ giving easy access to something like that, I mean)?

Ero cosplay? How the.... 3 clicks away from ASS TAILS! I'm just imagining Aisy or Ian clicking their way to that and I'm kinda of a lot not okay with that.

There was an uproar when you could see naked women on LJ staff's friends list. ONTD links a lot to this site - it's really creepy when you read an article about objectifying women and see the sidebar.

Random note - I see you reading Loveless :P . Uh, and that thing where they put a politician (or a manager?) into an oven.
