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.

    I hate this book burning mentality. It’s not because the person is bad that the content is nessarly bad. Like, if war and peas’s author turned out to be transphobic, would that automatically turn all of their comics bad?

    Although it doesn’t mean that hate and bigoted comics shouldn’t be banned. That part is the actual offensive part.

    And removing credits is actually scummier than posting bigoted comics imo

    For reference, this is not to shill those persons. I’m literally trans and bi. I’m actually concerned with what those are artists are against.
