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.

    Oh hey. Was Beep banned? Once it became clear they were just trolling and not simply an eccentric internet person I blocked them.

    As for the question: If the comics themselves are not hateful or dog whistles for hate, I don’t see a problem with posting the comic by itself. Just don’t link to the artist’s personal sites to give them traffic and maybe include a note about them in the body of the post.

      Their newest account is not banned, but their old one is.

      lemmy.world/post/45480511 gives a better explanation as to why.

      Edit: Link was being goofy
