Reddit seems to have introduced sitewide AI moderation bots that are sweeping up users and outright banning them, without warning or explanation, for crimes like including links in their posts. This has started to hit some pretty well-known artists in r/comics.
It’s inconsistent and unpredictable - which makes it worse, since you don’t know what the rules are. As companies like Reddit give up more and more control to unaccountable machines, this kind of thing is getting more common.
Reddit has always had kind of a strange relationship with contributors and what is often called “self-promotion”. On one hand, it wants Content… But it can’t seem to decide where it wants the content to come from.
It’s nice that we’ve got alternative spaces like this.
Anyway, have some links:
- More comics:
- Patreon


fuck. you can say fuck.
But what if their dad finds out? They will unalive op frfr
i’ll fuck their dads before they get a chance let me at 'em
I know. I’m an adult.
I choose to censor it. People always tell me I can say fuck when I censor it like this. Sometimes I say the actual word. Usually with the -ing suffix.
I just find that sometimes when it’s “bleeped”, it makes more of an impact (for me) than it would have otherwise. 🤷♂️
lol, it does not.
Grownups can also choose not to.
Then pick a different word. Don’t censor the one you obviously are half using anyway.
The older I get, the more I find myself using words like “heck” and “dang”. But when I gotta say “fuck” I sure as fucking hell don’t censor it lol.

Exactly. I still say FUCK in my head so what the F–k does this fucking accomplish? Nobody ever explains.
No. I do what I want.
then choose a word you don’t have to censor.
censoring the word means you want what you said to have the weight of “fuck” but you’re too cowardly to fully type it out.
if you wish to diminish its power by censoring it, then don’t use it at all. there’s tons of four letter words that can be used in its place.
cunt is also quite punchy!
oh my gosh nima stop trying to make fetch happen. it’s not going to happen!
No. I do what I want.
