Discussed here:

Contacting employers, contacting family, threatening to kill people and talking about how they deserve to be sexually assaulted, cracking passwords, contacting webhosts to report them for alleged Terms of Service Violations, contacting a show’s producers and actors to blast them for another set of fans’s actions. Most of the most egregious behavior doesn’t get documented out of fear of both sides going after the document-er for getting the story wrong... [Ed: all the above is also done to those who do document.]

...Fail fandom is generally about some one taking offense at something someone did or said or implied. Sure, yeah, the subtext of fail fandom is often about a power play in fandom but at the onset, it generally doesn’t look that way... [Ed: as it is dressed up to be about racism or sexism or vulnerability, etc.]

...The attacker looks for vulnerabilities. They look for places where they can exploit your weakness in order to push you out of fandom, to get you to stop being in conflict with them and to further their own agenda.

All that is stuff I saw in the RaceFail crowd, both before and during that fiasco. It's a good part of why I think they are wrong, philosophically and logically, and why they disturb me so, with all the rage and violence and hate-talk, and all the social dominance behaviors. ( ...during the Fail... )

Earlier this year there was a push to ban a horror movie called "Orphan". I'll let you read all about it here and then the sane view here.

I'll say only: this is what post-modernist activism bullshit nets you. Everyone's personal, internal issues--and fears of being "left out" or perceived badly--become a crime. No separation of fiction and reality, or grasp of context.

Gods forbid any of these people actually manage to force legislation on things like this. Think about how we laugh at Christians when they freak-out because somebody mocks or "misuses" Jesus or sacred ritual, but we're all so stoic and sober and run to the lawmakers when some personal issue of ours is mocked or "misused", or even appears to be.

Oh no! The left-wing morality police have finally arrived at FailBlog:

I personally find distasteful adolescently crass references to genitals and sex acts, as well as depictions of real injuries and deaths. But that, to me, is largely a matter of taste.
I find disturbing a number of !mages that have appeared that conjoin children with sex. That, to me, goes beyond questionable taste and is a matter for concern and reconsideration.
I find abhorrent !mages that condone and celebrate racisim, ethnic slurs, and homophobia. That to me is immoral, and, in my opinion, should just stop...I wish to transform the discomfort I sometimes feel here into a reminder that we can do better.

Thankfully, there appear to be intelligent people there as well whose sense of humor and ability to understand context aren't withered and dying by years of POC bullshit:

Some of the blogs are g-rated, and some are not, and that is for a reason. Not to mention, the site in general mocks instances of racism or child/sex displays by use of the word “FAIL.” It’s subtle, I know, but most literate people usually understand the intent.

The subtlety and sarcasm of the insult drips beautifully from that last bit. I salute you, sir.

These also popped up as responses:

In the end, what is “abhorrent” to one person can be “hilarious” to another. “Taste” and “morality” are relative and subjective, not to mention an important part of each individual. While I understand Dave’s point of view, and fully support his desire to express said view in an effort to modify the feelings resultant in one individual from viewing this site, i personally find above post more reprehensible than most any picture i’ve seen on any of these sites.

And:

Censorship can cause a lot more harm than several controversial pics...

Amen.
