@Screvvy This was legendary cringe before social media had gotten past LiveJournal and just reading the story took hours. It needs to be required reading for every zoomer who has no problem throwing around the term "kin."

speaking of failcons, the Boycott Kunicon livejournal is still around https://t.co/cU9s3la9vZ guaranteed to be a parade of broken links and deleted accounts, but there's still some data there to be mined from the distant past of 2005

take it down, and not always politely. I was on livejournal at the time, and there was one community for meta discussion and that was about it. Then a bunch of us went and created another community where fic was allowed in locked posts. From there it snowballed.

@postpostpostr There are multiple threads. The roots come out of 80s and 90s academia, then you had active scenes on Something Awful and Livejournal in the 00s that developed the cultural dynamics and memes, then that stuff recombined on Twitter and accelerated after the crash of 2008.

@ScepticalAussie @NotDevinsMom This is very common, for example, I remember seeing on LiveJournal a post by a beloved Roman Catholic friend saying she had just voted for Barack Obama and should Catholics do that, because of the ******** issue? She did not know. I did not say anything, but it was revealing. 😳

it was an effy/emily (skins) fic that was posted on livejournal, if i’m not mistaken, back in 2009. by the time i heard of it the author had sadly already taken it down, but PDFs of it were being p***ed around quietly and i managed to get my hands on a copy of one

@darkfetishhydra tagging doesn't fix that. the fanfics used to groom me were tagged plenty well on livejournal. i knew what it was when i got exposed to it, but i was exposed to it by an adult, and other adults made it, and other adults liked it, so i thought it was fine. kids mimic adults.
