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.

    …in order for this discussion to make sense, one needs to define what is and what isn’t transphobic. This issue gets real subjective, real quick. What we objectively know about this state and it’s associated comorbidities sometimes directly contradicts what is considered socially acceptable. Is an opinion or belief that offends a transgender person by definition transphobic?
