quick rant

[meganbmoore]

Incidentally, this post is, as far as I know, not referring to anyone on my flist here...heck, as far as personal friends go, I think my rarely used(and not even currently uploaded, I don't think) Dick Grayson icon is worse than anything you guys use.

Ok, I get that everyone likes their icons and chooses icons that, as a general rule, express their either themselves or thier likes, i just wish people would occassionally use a bit of...urm...discretion...when posting to communities.  I don't mean icons of two guys(or girls) staring at each other and phrases like "can you feel the subtext?" or "and A was like *beep* and then B was like *beep.*"  I mean ones that have the f-word in twenty pixel font, or two guys writhing in you-know-what, which seem to be being used more and more in comm posts.  I mean, forget the fact that some people might be offended by them(my general reaction is to roll my eyes at worst, but usually I just ignore it if I don't like it) but I KNOW I'm not the only person who checks LJ at work...I mean, some people only HAVE internet at work, and might end up getting tagged for looking at questionable content at work just for checking their flist.  It's especially annoying when the post has a cut to the effect of "may not be worksafe"

*toddles off to find something happier to ponder*

count yourself lucky...part of it is that the majority of vocal anime and manga fans are 13-16~ yr old yaoi fangirls(the older ones tend to be more discrete in anything pictoral not under a cut)

I'm straight and I don't have anything against homosexuality. But I'm glad I don't have anyone in my f-list who fall into the so-called category of young rabid yaoi fans XD

ditto. to the first part. I really should make a filter, but then i'll forget to check it...

I have only recently discovered the filtering method and it's certainly very useful :D
