What's so hard to understand about 'Your default icon cannot be something that, if the wrong person happens to look at the screen at the wrong time, they can get offended by it and cause problems for the person using the computer that your controversial icon just popped up on'?

What's so hard to understand that it's the same standard as, say, rating a film that they're using? Hmn?

Some people work at jobs, where, even though they're allowed internet access, will still get FIRED if things like nakkid bodies, urinating, breast nipples, questionable acts (like, oh, FUCKING, or even just the HINT of fucking) WILL GET THESE PEOPLE FIRED. And a LOT of businesses employ software that can tell the computer geeks EXACTLY what you're looking at on your screen.

MOST professional places in fact have very very STRICT rules about this. Why? Because they're professional places with a reputation to upkeep for the general public. The same reputation that USUALLY follows the standards of 'no sex, no cussing, no nakkid bodies, no politically inflammatory statements, no...'. You get the idea.

Yes, breast feeding, pissing, fucking, licking your goat affectionately--all NATURAL.

Also all BIG FUCKING NO-NO's when flung out to the general public. That includes the work place. Or the public library where some four year old kid with uber conservative parents might be walking past and just happen to look at the screen at that moment. Or that really unhappy person who hates you and just wants ONE little excuse to make you life miserable.

Or some conservative group looking for reasons to shut LJ itself down.

Stop being ignorant hose beasts just because you have to actually click a few times to be able to share your own particular bathroom humor or 'liberal sore spot' of the day. Cut it out with the asinine icons, too.

Use some fucking brains--you aren't the only ones getting 'inconvenienced'. And someone somewhere just may pay the price for YOUR douche-bag arrogance.

Fuck off and die.

Thank you.

Tired of the idiocy.
