The problem is that some pedophiles use fictional kids as a shield. "Oh, well writing kiddieporn is wrong, but if I use fictional kids then it's not 'real.'" They take a loophole and make it into a porthole. To circumvent this LJ is trying to be so vague there ARE no loopholes. In the process they are pissing off a lot of people.
I can't say I don't sympathize. If I had to try to weed the freaks from the normals in any fandom I'd be ready to just blow the whole fecking mess to bits. (Yes, I am thinking of the CSI fandom in particular.)
The adult-oriented fandoms aren't having problems (you know, shows/books with characters who are primarily adults), so I think LJ is having a hard time grasping that fanfic about HP characters can be set when said characters are 37 as well as 7.
