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.

    Why haven’t you already started your own Comic Strips community with this rule instead of spamming the comm?

      on the same note while im against it I read comics in other comic communities. Ideally little to no censorship would be in communities but the comics will still be around in other ones. Granted it would be nice for this poster to just get off his but and use the block botton but he can feel the warm fuzzies knowing people are reading the comic on the fediverse elsewhere instead of here.

        Blocking it won’t stop everyone else from being exposed and the hate being normalised.

          won’t stop it by stopping it here in the federation. there are other comic communities and the person can make their own if they want.

            None will ever be as big as this one, it might not stop all of it but it will stop 95% of people ever seeing it.

              yeah whatever. I don’t want to make peoples choiced for them or have choices made for me but I do have access and watch the other communites just like 95% of everyone on the federation. This is like one of the maine things I like about the federation and why as much as I like trust cafe its not federated so could devolve into such influences being one thing. Whats funny is I blocked the guy until your wierdisms (from my point of view, from another like yourself I am the wierd one). The comics are not that bad and no one needs to be protected from them.
