A few days ago I made a post to gauge this community’s opinion on whether it should allow nice comics by bigoted artists. I think we have a consensus.

The majority of comments were very in support of banning comics by artists like Stonetoss and Jago. I heard from queer people who said they’d feel safer if the rules were changed. A lot of people were concerned about this community becoming a “Nazi bar”, the comment expressing that feeling got a LOT of upvotes.

The people against the change had two main arguments: anti-censorship, and personal responsibility. A few people equated active moderation practices with book burning. Nearly all of these “against” comments were downvoted or ratiod, and tended to have a lot of arguments underneath them, while the “pro” comments went uncontested.

On the internet, 10% of people will disagree with just about anything. With that in mind, I think we’ve reached a consensus. The community wants a rule change so that users can’t post inoffensive comics by bigoted artists.

That means no more Jago comics. I see a lot of people in the comments under the Jago posts, getting angry and saying they want this rule change. People aren’t happy with the user who’s posting all the Jago comics.

Mods, this is what we want. Please change the rules and get Jago’s comics outta here.

      The quote highlights that passive inaction is as dangerous as active malice. It encourages taking a stand against wrongdoing rather than remaining neutral.

        But it isn’t as dangerous as active malice. Punching someone in the face is more dangerous than watching someone punch another in the face.

            Y’see, when I said “OK” it’s because I didn’t disagree with the quote, but didn’t see the relevance. Does your “Ok” mean you don’t disagree? I directly contradicted you though so that’d be strange.

              You didn’t contradict me you agreed.

              You said it isn’t as dangerous. Implying you understand it is, in fact, dangerous.

              Like Spiderman says right before he realizes his actions allowed his uncles death, “I missed the part where thats my problem.”

              I’m guessing you agree with Spiderman’s inaction?
