YA literature? You mean books about Super Special White Girl and Her Mysterious Brooding Boyfriend?

Now This Is True Romance

your heart is a muscle the size of a rat

Accurately-titled novels. 

Laurens: If you want Alexander, you’ll have to get through all of us!

Burr: Except me.

Hercules: Except Burr.

Burr: I don’t care what happens.

For clarification: Do you think artists who represent and promote groups that aim to hurt people deserve to be defended by virtue of being artists? I'm just trying to separate the discourse from the chaff here.

Hey, you seem like an alright person! :] I’ll respond to this.I don’t think anyone deserves to be defended just by virtue of being an artist, and nazis can go fuck themselves (the whole webcomic community thinks this, it’s not really in contention). However, let’s take a look at who Tumblr harasses:

Sam Hyde

Alt-right.

Never harassed by Tumblr.

Red Panels

Alt-right.

Never harassed by Tumblr

He He Silly Comics

Alt-right.

Never harassed by Tumblr.

Erika Moen

Sex-positive feminist.

Harassed viciously by Tumblr for a mistake she made 8 (!) years ago and thoroughly apologize for, because they needed a justification for harassing her because of the cuck comic.

Adam Ellis

Left liberal?

Harassed viciously by Tumblr for reusing some assets, then further harassment justified because he decided to sass the people harassing him a bit. Apologized for the sass, harassment continued.

Ohnips

Liberal? Maybe libertarian at most?

Harassed viciously by Tumblr because of Dream Daddy fanart, then further harassment justified because afterwards it was revealed that she’s ignorant on some issues.

So, what am I meant to think, when people pull all of this shit, and when I call it out they say “but what about nazis???” Yeah, what about nazis? Tumblr never actually fucking harasses nazis. They prefer to dedicate their energy to fairly well intentioned people who they’ve deemed “problematic.” And often, deemed “problematic” AFTER the harassment has already begun, in order to justify the harassment. :)

By all means, harass a nazi today, my dudes. You won’t see me interfering.

But don’t bullshit me.
