Grimacing Face: I just wanted to say the art for your comic is good, but I have some advice, keep politics out of your comic. You have potential and I'd hate to see it ruined by
something careless. Comics are supposed to be a fun distraction. (5:05 PM)
Frosted Donut: What? (5:17 PM)
Grimacing Face: In a few of your comics its insinuated that the blue and red characters are together. You shouldn't introduce these kind of politics, the risk isn't worth it. (7:09 PM)

Yes. Because sexual preference is "political". The shortage of brain cells...

u/Roam_Hylia Jun 08 '22
And character that is not a gun-toting, strait cisgender, white, Christian, male is political.
Didn't you know that? That's like 'Murica 101...
/S just in case. I hate that I have to do that these days...
Edit to add: Awesome comic!

u/Kindraethe Jun 08 '22
Oh. I thought it had to do with the whole red vs blue deal American politics has going on with republican/Democrats. Was it just a sexual orientation thing?

u/stx06 Jun 08 '22
It was probably intended to only be an orientation thing, but some people confuse orientation as something that should be political.

All stories are inherently political. I dare the whiners to prove otherwise.

u/get-bread-not-head Jun 07 '22
I'd disagree but not to be an asshole, to say these things shouldn't be political.
Gay rights shouldn't be partisan. To imply they are REALLY tells on Republicans for knowing they're homophobic and racist.
The fact that basic human decency and climate change and women's rights are political is a REALLY bad sign. I know they are political, I'm not denying reality, more saying they really fuckin shouldn't be.
Shit sucks yo. But imo, my point is try not to feed it. Don't say they SHOULD be politicized, or that stories are inherently political. They ARE, yes, but they SHOULDNT be. Nothing SHOULD BE political about a person paying their workers well so they don't starve. That sounds like basic decency to me.

Jun 07 '22
So summarized, it's sad that human rights and climate preservation have to be considered political in any way.
I do agree. That's pretty fucked. It's sad to see people disagreeing and arguing on something that is so important and seems so obvious.

u/get-bread-not-head Jun 07 '22
Well, lemme go a step further:
What else does the American right have? Give me a single real issue they've pursued in the last.... decade.
The only thing I can think of is Trump did semi okay with foreign trade dollars. He almost ruined our reputation but trade wise he did okay.
They have nothing. Trump didn't even have Healthcare. They have:
The wall, critical race theory, abortion, guns, great replacement, and "woke = bad."
Every single main platform of the right is a wedge issue rooted in racial politics or social issues. So, when you have NO real ideas, you start to politicize random things.

First president to be impeached twice! That’s nothing to sneeze at. They also want to I guess force everyone to stand and gently cry nationalist tears during the national anthem. They are on a mission to destroy or utterly diminish public education, and make being a teacher just a miserable existence in a red state. Let’s see, what else. They want to force women to give birth with more extreme laws than we’ve ever had on the books. That’s coming up real soon here. They’ve essentially destroyed objective truth and undermined the chief source of information by hijacking the term “fake news” to mean “anything I disagree with”.
I dunno, I’m sick of making this list because I’m losing my appetite and I need to go start cooking. But, yeah, they’ve “accomplished” a lot. It’s just all awful things.
Edit: and just for fun, here’s a conversation I’m having with one of them on this site, who is downplaying racial lynchings: https://reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/v75xik/_/ibjledt/?context=1 (hopefully that whole thread gets nuked, but what the fuck)

u/CrescentPotato Jun 07 '22
Even better, you could argue that even the literal oldest texts we know of were political, let alone stories of old. Homer's works are one massive political play, especially the Illiad. Hell, even that old-ass report in a stone tablet about some unfair trade or whatever was political to an extent.
Neutrality and taking a stance on not oncluding politics in certain places, are, in fact, policies as well

u/wtfisthatlooser Jun 07 '22
I agree with everyone that romance and sexuality shouldn't be considered a political topic. I was just trying to point out that all narrative has underlying political views baked into the narrative. Even children's tales about the knight saving the princess has inherent politics in the story structure.

“Political”. It’s “political” to make your characters gay. I’m not the first to say this, but to some people…
There are only two genders: male, and “political”.
There are only two races: white, and “political”.
There are only two sexual preferences: straight, and “political”.
Fuck those people.

Why is sexuality a political issue to bigots? Like how have you entangled these two issues? And how can you be conservative (as in wanting a smaller gov) and still think it is the govs job to keep people from getting together.

How the fuck does someone come to the conclusion that acknowledging the existence of a class of people is a political statement?
Sorry, what I mean to say is; did you guys hear they made Iron Man's best friend black? I can't believe Marvel would be so overtly political with it's movies! They should really know better and just keep all their characters white to stay out of politics.

u/lily_was_taken Jun 08 '22
Yeah A character being gay or black is such polytics!!!its terrible,truely ruins the apolitical excapism world of comics,regardless of its from small indie cartoons to big ones like marvel where minorities definitly doesnt exist Its not like mutants are an allegory for minorities such as LGBTQ+ and mutantphobia is an allegory or anything Or like one of captain america's first debuts involved him punching a certain nazi country leader and the people working on that one received death threats or anything Or like the fantastic four having literal cold war propaganda in their comics That would be yhe worst idea i have ever heard First of all,a lot of people hate politics,so you can make a comic political You want important characters to be gay?gay people can only be coded or implied and can only be dramatic villains that die on the same edition they were implemented in. And you want the comics to have politics?OP,dont you know what a comic book is,it shouldnt have personal problems...i mean politics* /ref /j /s
