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.

    Please, instead of blocking individual posters, let us have tags. Tags are more reliable. We need to filter the content, not the persons.

    Posting something hated universally is subject to be made into the rules, like Nazi stuff. But transphobic stuff is different. People have different values, or if you don’t like that, different preferences. Posting something transphobic, as long as it’s not harming the society, and only be self-expressing, that !shouldn’t be blocked. That’s his or her right to express the feeling or what he or she valued.

    If you think I am wrong, please link to some examples here and I can elaborate if I think it’s appropriate. To get on the same page is hopefully the goal.

      Even that is not “hated universally” (see neonazis and white supremacists). Do you also think we should be inclusive of racist stuff?

      as long as it’s not harming the society

      It is harming trans people, who are part of society.
