Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. I have a lot more to say about it; hopefully soon I can finish all these posts and clarify all my reasoning here.
none of them affect me
I don't read chan. I don't like it. And I don't like visual porn much, period.
I don't feel very threatened insofar as my fannish production goes. Yes, I've written incest; yes, I read about sex with minors (post-pubescent minors, thus the distinction from chan), but despite all this hullabaloo I just don't see my content getting me deleted. So in that sense, it doesn't affect me either.
I feel threatened insofar as what my perception of fandom is. To me it's a place where you can explore things you can't elsewhere, through a medium that is safe, shared, insightful. Whether that exploration is sexual in nature or not. Limiting that exploration takes out what made it so special--the fact that you can explore things here that you can't elsewhere. So to that extent it does affect me. If affects me a lot, and I feel like it affects fandom as a whole.
That's my opinion. You're entitled to your own. I wouldn't leave unless I was truly dissatisfied, and I am. If you aren't, no matter how small your reputation is or how active you are in fandom life, I see no reason for you to leave.
But yeah. For me, there's reason to leave. And like you, I feel like I can also retain what I'm giving up. It might be a little more difficult, but I don't really mind that.
