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.

    the algorithm has done a MASSIVE amount of damage by cordoning things off and creating little pockets of filth festering in darkness out of view until it overflows and spills out on us all.

    This describes how society in general has handled all vices, since long before the Internet.

      Sadly accurate, but it has been wilful ignorance, now it is enforced by what the machines think we want to see.

      I think it is worse now, than before, it was a lot easier to pick up that “other” newspaper than it is to break out of your algorithm.
