LJ bans beards in default icons

Not intentionally, but this is too good not to mock:

...Specifically, default user picture icons are prohibited to contain overt violence, or a direct, unobstructed view of any primary or secondary sexual characteristics, regardless of the content of the icon itself.

I'm guessing that somebody thought "secondary sexual characteristics" was a good way to say "female breasts" and didn't bother to look up what it actually means.

Sadly, it wouldn't be the first incidence of such madness. I remember a similar blow-up years back, after the furry fandom's self-proclaimed "only clean gallery" made someone take down a photorealistic image of their German Shepherd nursing her pups, because nipples were an absolute no-no in the archive!

LJ-Abuse seem to be digging themselves further and further into a hole on this one, though.
