“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style work from around the world is also welcome!

* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

While I love legit, informational, open-minded arguments in general, there were a couple hate-speech attacks against a recent, Belgian/Jewish-themed post here that immediately smashed our #1 rule here ("Netiquette") to bits.

Those came from two individuals in particular (same instance), and disgusted both myself and my co-mod.

I want to remind everyone here-- for anyone new to this community, it's both common-sense and classic Netiquette to suggest that if one wants to argue hard, it's best to start with some politeness where possible.

The two banned can appeal, if they like. I'm not opposed to talking things out, assuming good-faith is involved.

I also want to clarify that the original comic by no means attempted to 'pick international sides.' It was in fact an attempt to depict internal strife between people within a small community. That, and nothing more.

EDIT: I've made some major revisions in my message above, seeking for better clarity. Thank you for re-reading.

Sorry to hear, glad you managed to keep the rules of the sub enforced.

[–] BitSound@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

I would just ban and not feel bad if I were you. They're not here to contribute to the community, they're happy having communities fall apart if it gives them a chance to "dunk on the libs". Just more political weirdos

I really really wish your posted comic had had a different thumbnail. I'm sure most people didn't click through to read the rest of the comic.

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

Agreed

I feel that's a really good point.

For the life of me, I couldnt figure out if Chris Farley or Fatty Arbuckle... *joking, not joking

why are people mean to me 😞

don't conflate judaism with israelis and don't think that the racist label of "semitic" was ever anything but anti-semitic.

Simply nothing of what you (and other hexbears) claim has happened here. You guys seem to instantly turn off your brains and jump to false conclusions once you see anything related to Jewish people living their lives. The posted comic in fact depicts an argument between two Jewish neighbors, one from Europe, one from North Africa. Nothing in it is dehumanizing Palestinians or even touching the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Read the material from the first post again, this time slowly and carefully and you might still get it.

it wasn't racist towards palestinians but jews from africa

Sorry no, you can´t claim some made up bullshit and then just nonchalantly move the goalposts to another planet when you get called out for it. You lied about pro-genocide propaganda being posted here and you should apologize to !johnny_enzyme@lemm.ee for that.

I never did, so don't you dare put that on me. Neither did the post.
