I'm sorry about your own leaving LJ experience. I hope I don't lose touch with anyone. I didn't hear about the whole nipplegate thing until the Strikeout thing became so big; it just adds to the evidence that LJ isn't where I want to be right now.
I think LJ doesn't really care about us one way or the other, and I don't have a problem with that. Best Buy doesn't care about me either, but I still shop there, because they have some things I want there.
I do think that LJ seems to be trying to move towards the mainstream, making a bigger business and something more universal. So yes, they do have a problem with those who, as you say, share thoughts outside what dominant culture deems normal, but it's nothing personal.
But for fandom, it means that LJ is no longer going to be providing the services we need. So I hope we can reestablish elsewhere.
I don't hate LJ. I don't want to tick LJ off--I don't think I can and I don't care enough to try. I just hope to go somewhere where my needs as a customer will be met, with the kind of treatment I expect extended toward any customer making use of a a business's service.
