'Abuse origin?' I dont think we need to hammer out that distinction. I seem to recall a discussion here about a month ago, where nature versus lack of nurture came up, and a fair ammount of people said that they had trauma in their backgrounds, but feel they would have been multiple anyway.
I dont think we need to get into a big hooha about changing Multiplicity or more rigorous censorship. It was taken care of amongst ourselves without any outside rules. It was really rather personal rather than something that needs to be taken into account as far as the tone of the community in general.
Some of us found that doll PARTICULARLY heinous. I've never uttered a peep about something being gratuitous for a particular community before, but that did it. It was really a personal sort of thing. Elenbarathi knew I and another close friend were going to have a hard time with it, and so she spoke her mind in her firm, clear way. I was very troubled because I, in turn, anticipated my friend seeing it, and it seemed like the sort of thing she would be particularly vulnerable to seeing.
Again, what made it more unacceptable was the fact that it seemed to be primarily an art piece, or motivated by darker intentions, as Jinx replied. (The art itself wasnt bad, by the way.)
I think this particular wave of responses by a group of close-knit friends need not bode changes for the house rules of this community, John Shao.
