No More Leela

[teleen_fiction]

So I went through and deleted a bunch of my favorite icons, including my 'famous' one of Leela holding a knife.  After everything this past weekend, I just felt that I shouldn't have any icons that had any sort of violent imagery in them.  So no more icons with guns (bye, bye "Bisexual Fury") or wishing violence ("Basil Hopes You Die In A Fire") or implied violence ("John Casey Is Not Amused") of any kind.  I had 19 that I felt were inappropriate, which out of 230 wasn't that bad, but even so...  That's a lot of violent imagery for someone who claims to be a pacifist at heart, :(.

Also, Jon Stewart tonight was brilliant as always, reminding everyone not to look for blame.  When it's online I'll post a link, but basically he just pointed out that there will always be monsters.  It's how we deal with them that matters.

19/230 is pretty good, alot of people don't think twice about all the implications of their icon before uploading. I know I don't.

Also, while I'm here, I'd point in the direction of this entry (has some awesome GLBT Valentine Icons) http://dhamphir.livejournal.com/156711.html
