>Well sure, but a large part of the regular userbase (not religious folk) were not comfortable with adults writing pornography I never used it but why would a non religious activist do something about it, complain, sign petitions, or even waste a thought about what some character is doing in a fictional world they don't read. Most probably as always there is a vocal minority

In case it's not glaringly obvious, I don't think an adult would care about fictional children. Livejournal users, did, however, care about other adults who are sexually attracted to children.

  >Livejournal users, did, however, care about other adults who are sexually attracted to children. My question was if there was a large of users that cared about the fictional characters or just very few. Or maybe was some social media thing that forced the company to change the terms. I know from recent events that Patreon and Steam were pressured by this groups, I think Patreon updated some terms but Steam did not.

  >Livejournal users, did, however, care about other adults who are sexually attracted to children. What makes you say that the people writing the stories had a sexual attraction to children? (and by 'children' I mean as we commonly understand it: real children). I wouldn't say that a vore or zombie fetishist wants to be eaten, eat people or have sex with the dead, nor would I say that a My Little Pony fetishist wants to have sex with horses, and to use a more common example: people into incest pornography (which appears to be extremely popular online, much more so than the rate of incest crimes reported) don't generally want to have sex with their family members and people with rape fantasies generally don't want to rape or be raped.

    Yes but most people don't want their journal on an incest or rape forum either.
