My guess... (Wed Nov 14 00:30:51 2001 )

Most of the auctions left seem to have that "you 
need to show proof you are over 18" rule stated 
in their description...one would think that would 
be an obvious thing with yaoi, but meh. Of 
course, the reality is, 90 percent of yaoi 
fangirls are under-aged, and eBay really was an 
easy place to grab some nice yaoi without getting 
the Spanish Inquisition. Maybe now they're trying 
to enforce it? My feeling is, it's the seller's 
responsibility and choice, but I could understand 
that eBay would be liable if any frightened 
mother with a large stick up her ass decided that 
their 13 year old girl did a no-no (of course, 
the mother is in no way liable, even though the 
child is under her care...yeesh, people, if 
you're that upset about it, pay attention to what 
your kids are doing on-line in the first place. 
That's what filters are for ;p). 

Anyone remember Ai no Kuusou, one of the largest 
doujinshi galleries on-line? It got shut down for 
the same reasons...a mother found her child ( a 
boy, in fact) had printed out some of the dirtier 
pictures and had them in his room. She freaked ou 
and threatened legal action, and despite the many 
many disclaimers on the site, the webmaster shut 
it down out of fear. I hold a special place in my 
heart for Ai no Kuusou, which prompted me to buy 
my first doujin...a wonderful GW story 
called "American Hot Dog Press"...what a truly 
great doujinshi XD

But, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Ja!
