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.
You aren’t making a new space. You’re fucking up an existing space, and that’s very different.
Instead of making “safehappytimecomicstrips” as an instance, youre dictating what a larger, already established instance is going to do in the future. You’re taking the general board and turning it into a niche community to suit your own personal interests, and that’s not okay.
What if some billionaire bought up a newspaper because they were tired of seeing articles about wealth inequality and only wanted content that exclusively promoted their own viewpoint?
Oh wait…
That’s you. You’re the Jeff Bezos of internet discussion. Hooray! You did it. You showed those bigots how REAL bigotry is done. Good for you. Im glad your censorship is such an ideological win for you.
