What would you like to see for the future of this sub / community?

Unfortunately, the listed mod here is long gone, and there’s no one contributing Nathan’s comics here, anymore. Which is a damn shame IMO, because they’re pretty great, and are also like a… self-examination of what it means to be human, via seeing ourselves via alien eyes? Haha, something like that, anyway.

Unfortunately, my hands are full with my own project, and I’m modding a couple more, and yes, contributing to a dozen others (most of them history-related). So I’m sorry folks, but I personally can’t take on this sublemmy on top of everything else. I really wish I could, I’m sincerely sorry, and… bah. Godammit.

Still, should we just let this place die out, though? I feel like that’s not something we should collectively want.

Any ideas, folks?

    Oh, fuck me then.

    Is Pyle really such a weirdo upon such right-wing bullshit?

    Oh boy… I really put my foot in to this one, didn’t I. 😅

      That article is from 2019 and seems to be focused on a single tweet saying he was pro-life. That’s not my particular view, but hardly a reason to think he’s a weirdo or stop reading his comics. He doesn’t seem to be very outspoken about it.

      From the article:

      “My wife Taylor and I have private beliefs as they pertain to our Christian faith,” Pyle said in a statement posted to his personal Twitter account. “We also believe separation of church and state is crucial to our nation flourishing. Our votes go toward the Democratic Party.”

        I guess so. Good point.

        Godammit… this sucks.

        I wanted to try to revive a very good comic series, and… I don’t know what to think at this point. Just… fuck.

            Tragedy: a person you don’t even know has slightly different beliefs than you. What will we ever dooo?

            PLEASE. Yeah, just fuck off with that take.

            Please. Is that what you learned from the school of OUTRAGE and shit-stirring, is that it…?

            Seems like a good take honestly. Opinions can stay opinions without making policy.

            I mean, they’re slightly different if you squint. Pro life is just patriarchal oppression by another name. I can 200% support their faith and despise that it is eroding the rights of half of the people in several countries
