Cancelled Comics and Steven Crowder

 Well folks, I got the boot.   Let me explain.

  For some time now I have used a webcomic site (comicfury.com) to host my several webcomics and though I acknowledge that my ideology and worldview is 180 degrees out from most of the other creators, it's never been a problem.

  Anyway, sometime late last week there was a forum discussion topic entitled "Stop and Post whatever You're listening to Right now!"  (or something to that effect).  I threw up a link to Louder With Crowder, and thought nothing else of it.

  A few days later I couldn't log in.  A little bit of digging revealed that an admin had called my link 'hate speech' and thrown me off the site. No warning, no explanation. I cant even access my files. My webcomics do not exist on that site.


  I emailed them.  No response. Some other people who could not find my comics emailed them with no response. I didn't insult anyone, belittle anyone, or even take a position on anything.  I merely posted a youtube link to a conservative commentator, and for that I was a pariah.

  So here's my position. They are bigoted cowards who, while trumpeting free speech, are really completely disinterested in any worldview than their own. They live in mortal terror that they might be confronted with an opinion that might poke a hole in the philosophical bubble they live in.   They are narrow-minded and gutless and should they want to discuss this further, I'm real easy to find.

I also successfully moved my latest comic to a new place. Take a look.
