Now that this community has mods, I think we should come to something approaching a consensus on whether there should be a rule against posting “nice” comics from transphobic and other kinds of bigoted artists. People like Stonetoss and Jago who have a lot of innocent-looking relatable comics, but also post the most mean, bigoted propaganda.

And I’d like to present a third option besides yes and no: one might post comics from bigoted artists after removing the artist credit, if the mods think that’s a good compromise.

    Ah yes let’s censor another community and create yet another safe space instead of acting like adults and simply ignoring content we disagree with.

    On this day in the year of our lord 2026 let it be so! Self regulation doesnt stand a chance against the might of thoughtcrime censorship and virtue signaling!

    /s grow up people. Don’t like stonetoss? Don’t read it. Scroll on. Don’t limit the rest of us because you never learned to control your own reactions.

      Censorship is not the correct word for what you are referring to. That is when someone is silenced. Hateful messaging being the subject of removal is something to be thankful about. It is pure folly to invoke the snowflake argument again at this hour on this platform: One can just skim recent history to learn that the hateful also are the ones concerned with virtue, as if briefly examining themselves amid a storm of deflection. The built in manufactured maturity complex should be a warning sign to consult a doctor, or the hate surely will ruin the last shreds of joy inside. At that point the right to ask why you feel like shit all the time pass by and that tipping point is the pipeline that feeds the oligarchy
