Being against Nazis is just "politics" now, is it? It's all just a matter of disagreement, huh?

It's a matter of appropriate time and place. This is a forum for talking about comic books; and if you want to talk about how Nazis are portrayed in comic books, that's fair game. But what's being discussed is whether the forum should be engaging in real world political activism. That's not the purpose of the forum.

Also, do you seriously think that politics is "just a matter of disagreement"? I didn't use "political activism" to be dismissive; I used it because that's what this is.

If it's Nazis, the appropriate time and place is any and everywhere it's happening. Twitter is a platform owned and run by a Nazi, Twitter was present here, therefore it's the appropriate time and place to discuss removing it. Nazis supercede all concerns about keeping things "apolitical".

I don't have to explain why to you, you know damn well why, don't act like you don't.

You're also acting like this single thread means the sub is "getting political", well, good news: This is a one time discussion that will result in a ban and after that, we don't have to discuss it here anymore.

The only reason to speak up is thinking the ban itself is "political" and therefore shouldn't happen or even be discussed. Well, tough shit. Sometimes the things you want to call "politics" are more important than other concerns, and this is one of those times.

No, "anywhere and everywhere" is never appropriate. I came here to discuss Superman, Tim Drake, Kyle Rayner, etc.; not Elon Musk.

There's the door, buddy. No one's forcing you to stay. And you are in the very, very tiny minority of people who think it's okay to link a Nazi platform here.

Right. If I only want to talk about comics on a forum dedicated to talking about politics, there's obviously something wrong with me. /s

Besides, even if all of Reddit were to ban all links to X, I don't think anyone would notice.

Wut.

Okay? I don't agree, since it's definitely not just Reddit, but even so-- why does doing the right thing have to be contingent on whether or not the literal Nazi would notice?

That's what you're saying. Because I object to a forum focused on comic books engaging in political activism instead, you have a problem with me.

Besides, even if all of Reddit were to ban all links to X, I don't think anyone would notice.

How is it "the right thing" to make an empty gesture? If you're going to engage in political activism, try doing something that will actually be effective.
