This is fascinating. Thank you for telling me about how you perceive "guilty pleasure", and how you use it. It makes sense to me to use it about something like Go Fug Yourself.

I used to read that too, and while I did find it funny I also don't really care enough about clothes and celebrities to continue getting my snark there. It would be nice if I could claim to have stopped reading it because it offended me, but I am willing to compromise my morals for entertainment.

I think that from now on I will use "guilty pleasure" exactly for that. I don't feel guilty about eating raw cookie dough straight from the mixing bowl or for enjoying low culture, but I do feel guilty for supporting certain morally objectionable movies and shows financially, and I want people to know it.

Hurray force user icons! Once again, thank you very much for coming up with a solution that addressed the "twisting or concealing a user's true message" problem.

The wonderful and clever and soon to be full time employed by dreamwidth afuna did explain how to do it on an individual basis using CSS so it won't make much of a difference for me personally, but I very much want it to be an option for other users as well.
