It’s been a running joke since pretty much my 1st post in this comm, that somebody will find a way to explain how my comic post is political. Despite me making it pretty obvious in the sidebar that I’m referring to a very specific flavor of politics.

I’ve been rolling with them, since I find them more eye-rolling amusing than annoying. However it seems that others might be getting annoyed with them, which I can understand.

IF YOU ARE A PART OF THIS COMMUNITY, chime in with your opinion here. Should we continue to allow free for all comments, or subject them to the same restrictions on (particular) politics as the posts?

If you are already against the point of this community for whatever reason, please refrain from joining in the discussion.

Update: Based on the feedback and the amount of upvotes in the comments, it seems clear there’s a general consensus in favour of keeping the comments clear of politics as well. I’m somewhat busy at the moment but will get to updating the sidebar when I can. In the meantime, I’ll begin removing comments that break the rule, though I won’t be issuing any bans.

    Not posted or commented yet but I’d hope for a political safe zone.

    I love politics but understand others would love a spot they can decompress without random spurts of “Welcome home from your 12 hour shift, they killed a kid while you were gone”

    I like the people trying to make the comics seem political though and have been tempted to start going out of my way to find the most tacit connection I can

    Edit: comics, not comments

      I can’t figure out which side you’re on :)

      I mean, everything we do as humans living in a society is political, if you go looking for it in these comics, more often than not you will find it. I have restrained myself from comenting anything like that here if I see the angle, it’s just not the place.

      I apreciate a comics comm that the fucking bots and trolls have not yet messed with, lets keep it nice. ;)
