>The comics will then, in all likelihood, be published in print and probably at Image or Boom. It's a cross between Patreon and Kickstarter that pays certain people in advance. Of course, who those certain people are, is an issue for some, as Substack funds a number of blatantly offensive newsletters and writers, some of whom have been kicked off other platforms for their writing.
>In one Twitter thread, comics journalist Cheryl Lynn Eaton posted, "What has horrified so many about Substack is that the platform has gone to the next level beyond plausible deniability. Curation. Bringing in abusers and separatists and paying them. Platforming them so that their hate speech can drive those who they've deemed undesirable away. That is a difference that is completely demoralizing. Because it's one thing to refuse to excise hatemongers yet treat them as an unpleasant bit of refuse that you are unable to get rid of– though Twitter CAN get rid of them–and another to directly invite them in and PAY them. The bitter truth is that far-right artists do not make money through their art. Their art is simply side-merch. The work is the abuse. The trolling. The antagonizing of the marginalized for their inherent traits. THAT'S what keeps the audience. Selling hatred and disruption."
lol
