If I step into your group of friends one evening and start an unprompted 4 hour lecture on 17th Century Agriculture, would it be censorship if you asked me to leave?
Small communities are allowed to curate themselves. It’s not censorship without that power dynamic, and on some level you yourself must understand this since your go-to comparison was ‘billion dollar fossil fuel advocates’
Because a comics sub on Lemmy is not the government or a church or any other powerful organisation that has any reach beyond itself
It’s a small community of people who are allowed to decide not to welcome bigotry
I think a different comic could put out something similar with just a few changes and make the point that you’re getting at
This one though, hard disagree. Like, the way the second woman is a ridiculous over masculine troll makes it seem that the butt of the joke isn’t the company using these objectifying policies but instead the woman herself, no longer an object of attraction for the man
If women are attractive, they’re trying to exploit you. And if they’re not seductive, they’re monstrous and masculine.
Rather than being a critique of the manufacture of non-intrinsic characteristics, the comic instead mocks those characteristics
And you’re maybe right in that I’m biased to read it that way because of the artist, but at the same time knowing how the artist normally portrays gender and sexual politics makes this the obvious reading and hos audience knows this
If most people here are in favour of it, then that’s why.
And then you can leave and make a new instance with your preferred amount of bigotry
