Tagging is essentially the same as removing and not a compromise in my book.

Come check out Mastodon sometime, where we also tag movie spoilers, politics, mentions of any medical condition, and eye contact.

There's nothing wrong with eye contact. It makes some people really uncomfortable. So we tag it so that they can filter it.

I wish I could upvote this twice! I'm actually on my way around to my second re-read of "Small Gods" during another full Discworld read-through.

Yea. Any religion that believes in a just interving diety runs into this.

If i really believe my god is perfect and all powerful, then why should I have compassion for all the unlucky people that god clearly despises?

It's hard, because the idea of a perfect loving god is incredibly attractive.

It's the evidence that sucks: if god is real and all powerful, then god is, at best ineffable, and at worst a terrible raging asshole who lovingly created a parasite that eats childrens eyes.

Now, if we're willing to believe in a sort of weak impotent god, the theology gets more interesting.

why would I want this type of thing done at the community level?

I have an RSS feed for my unfiltered comics.

I read here for the community.

I'm happy to just skip the work of bigots, and have mostly blocked the users who routinely post that stuff.

That saif, if we're going to remove credit with intent, i have a request:

let's be clear and cedit "some random bigot", so I'll know i might not want to seek out the artist.

Even while aware of how little classic scifi or fsntasy covers usually have in common with the book contents... This is still surprisingly weird.

Lol.

This is a dumb strawman.

There's basically two consumers, plus a bunch of lies told by the Epstein class.

Consumer 1: Wants a good product produced in a way they feel good about at a fair price. This typically includes preferring both locally made and fair wage pricing, as well as not-killing-the-planet.(Non-sociopaths who are currently not afraid about their finances tomorrow, tend to fall in this category.)

Consumer 2: Just needs the lowest price possible to survive another day. (People may drift btween these two modes, based on life events.)

Cosumer 3: Epstein class rapist. Wants you to believe their crimes are somehow your neighbor's fault.

Edit: This maybe flew over my head. Is Orange man Epstein class?

As others have said, look into the Rogue-like genre. (And also Rogue, itself, if that's your thing.)

I feel that Rogue Legacy and Rogue Legacy 2 deserve some mention here, for being essentially Mega-Man gameplay, but perfected.

In particular, Rogue Legacy 2 has difficulty sliders that can make it extremely arcade-like, such as maxing out both player and enemy damage, to make every encounter a one-hit kill.

I think it's going to work. You're probably not alone in liking this comic.

"You gotta romance a fine robot like that!"

What.

Ok.

Edit: Oh gosh. It's everything I hoped it would be.
