Nice icon - and most breastfeeding icons ARE tastefully done. I like the artistic touch. Like you, I have no desire for the internet to see my breasts :P However, a few icons, and I've seen more of them since this issue came up, aren't very discreet. I am definately a breastfeeding advocate, I still comfort nurse my 18 month old daughter and did the same well past a year with my son.
From what I glean, LJ originally asked for default icons not to portray anything sexually explicit or graphically violent. A question recently arose about a breastfeeding icon, and they clarified their official position that default icons shouldn't portray nudity or graphic violence. Non-default icons...whatever. And it seems to have escalated from there.
So why don't the BFing people just make a nice bland default icon and then never use it? Just pick the BF icon they want whenever they post. Clicking a drop down isn't rocket science!
