It wasn't just sexually explicit fannish journals coming under the gun for being sexually explicit; it was any journals that had unacceptable search terms in their journal profiles that were targeted. It had nothing to do with the actual content of the journals. It's the equivalent of the thought police.

The LJ abuse team was working off of a hit list supplied by a group who thinks it's appropriate to display the Confederate flag on their anti-pedophilia page. There was a lot "objectionable" about this, but none of it was coming from fandom." You missed the point.
