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.

    After reading the comments here I have been convinced we should create a list of these artists, and none of their content is welcome in this community.

    Main points being:

    • allowing their “nice” content creates a pipeline for users to their bigotry
    • having it signals to new users we are ok with content from bigots
    • it should make moderating easier because there is no need to deliberate what is ok by that creator

    Nazis, racists, transphobes, homophobes are not welcome here under any context!
