It’s a difficult path to walk. Even things that were socially okay 5-10 years ago could be abhorrent today. Everything now is especially raw given the current rift between the different groups of certain people. And then there are those who like to poke the proverbial bear for whatever reasons they have, be it for attention, enjoyment, or because they are simply mean spirited. There are also those who do it unintentionally or without malice. As I said to another commenter, it’s not black and white and will need to be dealt with on a case by case basis. Personally, I find things like the origins of the Adamm’s Family comics interesting. The TV show and movies are staples of our culture, then and now; even if some of their original content was not up to our current standards. But, I also respect that some people may not feel the same as me, and that’s to be expected. As long as we all remain respectful, we are encouraged to disagree in this community. It’s the only way we can be a genuine community.

Perhaps it's not about some source for ultimate truth, and each case could be decided by a vote? Hrm... although then the posts could be brigaded I suppose:-(. But if we presume friendliness, then it leaves the decision up to the community whether we want to continue to see e.g. Addam's Family or Scott Adams comics (importantly: *not* the racist ones, but others!). In that way it would be like Fediverse-style blocking vs. defederation - individual comic posts could be "blocked", while in some truly egregious cases the entire artist themselves would be banned/defederated, and no comics from them allowed (even the non-problematic ones).

> As long as we all remain respectful, we are encouraged to disagree in this community. I feel if the disagreement would be encouraged, you would let commics posted, and let us to downvote or upvote if we want to see some artist or commic... By giving a rule, you are the one who decides what the line is. There is very little room for disagrrement since your opinion will be the one that is to be enforced.
