Moved the thread since it technically doesn't have to do with Type Moon.

As much as I hate BL and the assholes that run it (Elf aside), I hate censorship even more, so I certainly will not be signing this. I do not wish to encourage governments to take down sites on the basis of them containing things that people object to but which do not do any harm to anyone.

Also, honestly, you're wasting your time. No-one is going to care about a petition to take down some little forum in the backwaters of the internet. If you don't like BL, just go somewhere else and discourage people from going there. Don't try to censor them.

What exactly do you object to Ray Girl?

It says what her objections are on the petition page, if you're looking for them.

I don't remember much paedophilia on BL, though (lolicons, yes, and people discussing such, but not paedophilia or even much actual lolicon content), and certainly not hate speech or bigotry....

Every term is misused and basically completely false. The things listed are actual serious crimes, especially bigotry and hate speech. Neither of which I've ever seen on bl. They can be over critical insensitive douche bags but they aren't attack race and the like of others.

The former is probably mostly coming from Break and Lolivamplover running around loose on there, somewhat unchecked. The latter I haven't seen much of either, not from people that weren't trolling to begin with anyway.

...Ray.

Seriously, this is like asking for /b/ to be taken down. Or more accurately the entirety of 4chan. They're protected under free speech laws.

This is merely trolling. I don't know the whole story, but apparently raygirl got in an argument with Polly and all this started.
