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 have simply blocked a certain user who uploaded a lot of stuff I didn’t like. It was just one user uploading the same type of comic over and over.

      I think the problem with this kind of thing is that a new user coming by doesn’t get the benefit of all those blocks you accumulate. For you, it’s a curated forum of comics. For them, it’s a stream of whatever content wholesale.

      What that usually means is that users who don’t like it don’t stick around, and users that do, stay. That’s how communities slide in different directions.

      At least with Stonetoss (the one I’m familiar with), if I’d seen their comics here when I came to the platform, I would have simply left because I am aware of what type of audience consumes that person’s comics. You can guess the type that sticks around.
