Beware of the Sex Nazis

Well it seems with the new boards, and giving some of our fellow diariest a bit of power, and with the joining of Teen Open Diary with ‘Regular’ Open Diary…Our enjoyment of the Freedom of Speach may very well becoming to an end.

As I’m sure you all well know, such things always start with one thing (in this case the sexual content of some diaries) and lead into other areas. What will it be next? The use of language? Speaking up on ones opinions on contraversial topics?

Perhaps these things should be kept under Favorites Only, now that they are letting the children in to play in what should be considered the ‘Adult Pool’  Still, 5 diaries have already been deleted without any fair warning…and at last word, even the ‘Favorites Only’ ones were subject to be ‘Up for debate.’

Granted the rules are as follows:
Please note: Sexually explicit, racist, or other offensive language is forbidden on this site. If you are starting a diary with the intention of using such language, don’t bother. Writing on this site is moderated, and diaries that violate the Rules of the site will be deleted.

Also, if you are under the age of 13, it is against our Rules (and several state laws) for you to join Open Diary. If your birthday is after 5/31/1993, please leave now – your diary will be deleted if you start one.

My thing is, my diaries weren’t ‘started with this intent’.  Though Raven has engaged in ‘relations’ with Severus. It’s a natural part of life, and she is of age.  As for this one…Yes, I do have a couple entries, but it wasn’t my ‘intent’ to have such when I started with diary.

But I’ve seen diaries with language far worse than my sex scenes…I’ve seen diaries that celebrate the writers racist beliefs (No, I can’t point these out to you, as I think racism is a sign of ignorance, and had no desire to read or return to said diaries, so I didn’t take note who what they were called or who they were by).

As for age…Who says the people are going to tell the truth? It’s just like at any other place that asks for ones age…If the ‘kids’ want in there, they’ll just lie about their age. Most of them can understand basic math at the age they would have to be to get to web sites on the computer. They can figure out what year of birth will make them old enough (and they don’t heve have to do that, as the DM has conveniently listed the date that you have to be older than right there for them).

And really, this would be a non-issue, if not for a few people, who seemingly, have no lives.

Anyway…As such…I suppose I will have to go and make a few things Friends Only.  And write huge OOC for Raven apologizing to my lurkers…as I will have to make her Favorites Only as well, to avoid the Sex Nazis.

And since my darling sister, our very own Smut Lord found me this little gem, I will put it here as well.

i agree. i don’t think it’s anyone’s, even the diarymaster’s place to flat-out delete diaries because of ‘language’. Who doesn’t use language this day in age? and most of the things people go to their diary to vent about pretty much require ‘language’? censorship sucks. i hope my diary doesn’t get deleted now for speaking out against the ‘master.

You know how I feel about it, as I’ve posted my own entry on the subject. Yay for our smutty icons! *grins* ~ The Smut Lord

I just set my diary on faves only to protect myself from the lurkers. This is ridiculous. I’m so mad, I might move anyway. If I can’t even write what I want in my own diary, what’s the point of having it? You’re right, people do far worse things on here than talk about sex. Like post naked pictures of their children (something I sadly accidently ran into one day) and use their diaries to…

hate on other groups. *throws hands up in agitation* Whatever!

I agree with you. If you read the rules, it says that “R rated” material is perfectly fine, just not anything above that, and so far, I haven’t really seen anything above an R, especially since we’re dealing with words. It’s hard to be hardcore without visuals. Maybe the DM hasn’t seen an R rated movie in a long time? david.

I think its all just.. crazy.. I mean if I’m offended by something.. I just do the ‘grown up’ thing and stop reading it. To each their own… and all that good stuff.. I think they are just bored and looking for something to do.

the difference between raven’s sex entries and these porn diaries is that her’s are not vulgar and are done tastefully. hopefully the DM will know the difference. it’s not like it’s dedicated to sex.

Some of the little kiddy diaries are worse then some of the adults. They aren’t going to read anything on here that that haven’t already seen before. Let the craziness continue!

It’s not right. We’re supposed to be able to express ourselves. It’s just evil. 🙁

I think you should be allowed to have that kind of content if you want it, providing you put some kind of disclaimer or warning at the top.

loving the sign tis very stylish and true its common place for us kids to lie about our age and to be honest anyone under 13 should be aware of the risks – oh yeah and i ve seen 12 year olds use much worse language than me so there they aren’t going to find every single person on this site who has ever written about bloody sex it would be insane stoopid people xxx

I dunno. I’m on both sides of the fence here. Granted, those of us “legal” (tho different states have different ages for this) should be allowed to talk about things of a sexual nature. BUT, then again, I know I wouldn’t want my 13 year old reading a graphic description of BDSM (even though it’s something that I as an ADULT enjoy). *shrugs* Blessings and Love,

I seriously doubt that DM has deleted any journals for language. I believe the resposibility lies with the parents. They should place parental controls on any computer used by a minor. I helped my daughter install them on hers. They do work. Our journals don’t “target” young people, so if they happen to stumble upon us, it’s not our fault. Be well.

RYN: “actively looking for ‘inappropriate’ diaries” That would be IL Dubya’s Ultra-Right Thought Police. Personally, I don’t think this place will survive. Be well.

Maybe. That’s up for debate. Damn. Sex Nazis. But . . . but . . . sex is a natural thing. Everybody should read about it, it prepares them more for it for when it actually happens. Damn ignorants!

(As Linnie) Grawr. And I was supposed to have a Harlequin entry about Sarah being deflowered by Rafe. Bloody Sex Nazis. (Actually, no. I quote one of my friends: They’re members of the Sandy Vagina Club.) ~

Sex is part of life. In diaries, people write about their lives, which includes sex. What are we supposed to do? Pretend sex doesn’t exist? Believe me, it doesn’t do that much harm if a child stumbles across sexual content in a diary that they should be educated on anyway. And there’s another problem – lack of sex education.
