    Those “keep politics out of x” is so ridiculously ignorant. As if self-censorship is politically neutral 🤦‍♂️ As if avoiding LGBT representation is neutral. Just wait until they discover that Star Wars is political and has always been 😂

      That’s how /pol/ (and by extension, Bannon/Epstein/some stormfront users) were able to convince a generation of men to police the internet on their behalf. Sounds very convincing to centrists and previously apolitical people, had some success already in Hungary by the 2010s (which ended with Fidesz calling the resulting as apolitical art as humanly possible as “valueless, without any meaning”), and was the thing that ultimately convinced a generation of gamers to start a “consumer revolt” that was actually a right wing astroturf campaign.

    Awesome comic, my only nitpick is the lower-left blue heart somewhat out of place (clothing patch?), otherwise very expressive for only 2 panels with faces

    Protest public displays of affection would be the #1 thing I’d miss if homophobia disappears (it’s worth it of course, just like I wouldn’t want anyone to get fired at no matter how cool they might look dodging bullets)

            I suppose it depends on the platform. If you are on Discord e.g. and only are on servers where you trust most of the userbase to be solid people, I can imagine it’s fine. But like, X? Facebook, Instagram? Fugedaboutit.

              Idk, i don’t get DMs at all on Instagram, i can’t speak for Facebook (but i guess no one uses it nowdays so let’s ignore it) and Twitter but i would expect people on Twitter to DM you

                I’m not tryna find out, I disable public DMs on all platforms where I don’t expect people to know me unless I add them (back). Strict policy. We either tight like that or we’re not talking.

                Unless it’s Facebook Marketplace in which case yes ma’am how are you today, yes this item is still available, what nice weather we’re having, what time can you pick up, and is that your sister, oh it’s your DAUGHTER, how lovely!
