>>95890154>We never cared for sexism or other sociopolitical tidbits. Only /pol/, tumblr, and /tv/ corssboarders do.you're a huge fool if you think this.
comics have been big on politics since the 70s and they've been nothing but a platform for it since the 90's, /co/ itself wasn't big on CONTROVERSY in the 2007-2012 period, but that didn't mean the site and the board was devoid of politics, these were just mostly aligned among eachother.
but the overal site and it's users changed with the general sociopolitical climate, including /co/mrades, and this underground counter-culture stop being aligned with the industry they had a relationship with. This is something people will vehemently deny, they will resort to a "no true scotsman" argument and say "you must be from /pol/ or tumblr because you have this or that opinion", or simply "you must be from /pol/ or tumblr because you are talking about this issue at all even if it's related to the comic/cartoon we're talking about"
people having a knee jerk reaction over discussions make the quality of them quickly plummet and ignore that the main reason /co/ had a reputation for being amicable was the ability to discuss things in a civic manner.
