Hey! So, uh…happy Halloween! I got a good scare a few minutes ago finding out that I am banned from Reddit for 7 days because my comic in regard to Patrick Stewart’s Death was considered harassment to…fascist billionaires.

I’m not sure how to feel about that. One part of me is proud… some asshole with enough money must’ve saw it to raise a stink, but the other half is terrified because I do really enjoy the platform and it’s a big drive for traffic here. (I can tease a bit more than other places)

I guess I’m just venting atm but I also need to check in with you all on what I can do to keep your patronage and what more would you like to see of me here.

Please sound off and I hope you have a great Halloweekend ❤️🎃

Well that’s absolutely stupid

I'm sorry you got a temp ban but I would bet your post got brigaded and mass reported to get it taken down like that.

Joshua Edward Wright

I loved it and I'm so glad you made it. Stewart's loss was one of hope, and the hope he provided through Picard was one of ending capitalism, among other things. Keep resisting. It's all worth it in the end to fight. Live long, and prosper. 🖖💜🌻

The Reddot

I think so. I mean, harassing fascists billionaires? Who the fuck takes issue with that besides fascist billionaires?

Josh Watts

Fuck Reddit, and fuck the ultrarich, the fascists, and fuck everyone who supports that orange asshole that is busy destroying the United States I hope that this doesn't drive you away from Reddit, nor that you take this in a way that stifles your creativity. I love what you create and how that you continue to do so. Sorry you are dealing with this bullshit!

The Reddot

I think so. I messaged the r/comic mods but idk if they can do anything. Why scares me is how tame my statement was. I didn’t drop names.

WolfLordBran

Unfortunately, you don't have to. Just one person needs to see it, not like it, and send it to whatever subreddits or discords or whatever else and then you have a whole pack of AI techbro/redhat cultists coming after you

The Reddot

Thank you and I’m glad too but Reddit is a big drive for new viewers. Losing that will severely hurt our income. I hate considering that and I know it’s a motivator on why it was removed but fuck, I’m still paying off Charlie’s cremation bill.

Joshua Edward Wright

Definitely understandable, and in that case at least it is a temporary ban. I'm sorry you're enduring that and dealing with the stress of it all. Be gentle with yourself. 🪻💚

Sean Talbot

Wear it as a badge of honor. It means a weak man and coward noticed you, or at least his followers. Elon suspended me for 12 hours for threatening violence against him by calling for him to be throttled instead of Starlink & Starshield.

Reddit is such a god damn shit show anymore. I wish the old Reddit world was still around.

The Reddot

It is so different from when I joined…and I did so later in like 2019.

ShyMoo Kohai

The hell even was the statement to cause people to possibly mass report it? I swear Reddit is so damn whiny for no reason.

Matthew Runyon

I'm sorry you're dealing with that bullshit. I personally think what you're doing here is cheap at twice the price, but if you're looking for more ideas (how many of these are realistic and how many are jokes I'll leave for you to decide): Gary: The Prequel Story What happens when Gary gets foxy Bachelorette party hijinks (real or wishful thinking) Cartoon fashion show (bikini, lingerie, the tears and blood of your enemies, Leia) Lottery for a couples dinner with you and hubs for those of us in Reno Blowjob-jobs Mad Dot: Furiosa Road Moar Pirate Queen What would happen if you took the One Ring (bonus points for Gary and Hubs as well) Star Dot: Hailing Frequencies Open What you'd do with your most abuseable superpower (I should never be allowed to have mind control) Explicit permission to put the freak in freaky Magical girl transformation sequence Opera gloves and slinky dress over a grand piano Dot showing The Producers that they'd enjoy her way more than that blonde The redwoods The sea The highest mountains and the lowest valleys The Last Unicorn in place of Molly Grue And finally, and most importantly: Keep being you. We're all here for a reason, you know.

The Reddot

I appreciate the suggestions! You got me with the opera gloves and piano. Lol Just for clarification, do you feel you’re not getting enough out of the content? I don’t want to overcharge and also not deliver

The Reddot

A friend made a very good observation that it’s interesting this is happening right before the elections. I also got dumped on by twitter this afternoon outta nowhere which hasn’t happened before. I’m not a conspiracy theorist. I don’t think I’m that big to be “watched” but that comic wasn’t nearly as edgy as what I’ve made before to get that sort of reaction. Who knows.

Big Mike

I got a warning from reddit for inciting violence Friday. Someone posted a text from an obtuse parent who actually believed the $5k promise from the posotus, advising their child to take people to the "poles." I simply suggested red voters should be tied to poles. Bam, deleted comment + warning. Not nearly as good as the warning I got from fb when I suggested a friend burn a b-dubs to the ground because they didn't have any cheese curds.

James Scott

Ok now I wanna see the comic. Knowing Sir Patrick's views on folks like Thiel, I'm betting he'd love whatever it was...

The Reddot

They are being extra heavy handed and it’s alarming. I used to go to Reddit to talk more freely. Not because I had anything hateful or violent to say… but I could cuss and be crude without getting banned

Ben

Wait you got a temp ban for harassment? Isn’t that what Reddit is all about!?

John

You and I have had public and private discussions. When it comes to politics we are completely diametrically opposed. I am sorry that you have to deal with this. Your bread and butter come from your social media interaction. And I respect that social media platforms are a privilege and not a right. Let's be real they are all owned by the UltraRich....and unless you own the platform, there is no right to free speech. But even i thought it was funny...especially given that it was part of a series. Keep being you. Obviously being here i support you.

I got automatically temp banned for saying, "I can't wait until he dies." No names or anything. Uninstalled right there

Bhargav Khambholja

You don't need to do anything different to keep my patronage. Just keep being you!!!

Vince Power

That sucks. It’s never the objectively offensive ones that get taken down. It usually seems to be the ones where a small group of people feel offended on someone else’s behalf.

el_zilcho

People who are deluded enough to think they can become fascist billionaires?

BvD

It doesn't take mass reporting anymore, thanks to the AI mods. Even one report can get you taken down these days, if it uses any "bingo" words.

Morgue-N

Wow, some little Dick tips out there really wanna slurp some billionaire egg whites huh?

Jeremy porter

All the other crazy shit on reddit that people post. And they ban you over saying fascist billionaire that is such bull shit.b

Kevin McCarthy

Reddit is so fucking weird sometimes, I swear. It sucks that this idiotic ban happened, and I hope it doesn't have a negative effect on your ability to share your content with more people. As a wise person once said- fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.

Rick

No big deal. Seems like that's the way for now when up against these a$$holes. Keep doing you!!

Kyle Cuzzort

Please post all your comics on here as you post them elsewhere! That would really help us all have a good way to just browse and also the algorithms everywhere else mean I don’t always seem them.

Matthew Runyon

Apologies if I was unclear, I think you're undercharging for the content I'm getting, because it's a ton of fun!

Richie Rescue

They probably had red hats being shitty about his death so they did a blanket action to just ban everyone that did anything mildly offensive? I donno. What I’ve learned while having toddlers is not to apply rational thinking to an irrational situation. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Dane Morgridge

Well, if calling out fascist billionaires gets you a ban, I'd wear that like a badge of honor.

Meanwhile I reported a comment on Instagram for referring to black people as "monkeys with sub-80 IQSs destroying everything Europeans built" and got a response back that it didn't violate community guidelines. Truly, fascist billionaires are the real victims

James Scott

Thats it??! I saw that one on Insta... didn't even cross my mind it would have been a problem on Reddit (since I saw many such variations and themes on Threads/Twitter etc! Frigging snowflake mods.....

James Young, Slinger of Tales

Madam, I thought your comic was awesome. We're following this Patreon until they turn out the lights.

Dave Reed, Book Shaman®

Bummer about the Reddit silliness. I’m not sure how you can harass a group, though. 😆 We got you, sis. If you get railroaded off Patreon, just link us to your OnlyFans or whatever’s next.

Trigg Bowlin

Consider it a badge of honor. Be true to yourself and know that we are here for who you are.

The Reddot

Hey, and thank you. I appreciate you being here. Life would be boring if everyone agreed on everything. Remember that one dress…the white and gold vs. blue snd black?? Simpler times lol

The Reddot

I like that phrase….I’m going to use that.

Morgue-N

Can't remember where I first heard it but happy to pass it along 👍

The Reddot

I must of tapped at some rich persons consciousness…that is kinda neat
