The topic this month is:🚫Censorship🚫

[Comic Cocoon @ComicCocoon]

- How do we navigate the current media landscape to ensure censored works are still able to be shared in their intended form?

Please RSVP in the replies so we can gauge numbers! 👇💛🐛

[Comic Cocoon @ComicCocoon]

- How do you feel about older works that feature elements that would be censored or removed today (racist caricatures, explicit sexual content, queerphobia, etc)? Is there value in preserving these works as they are? Does a work lose context if censored?

[Comic Cocoon @ComicCocoon]

- Have you found yourself censoring your own work before sharing it? Why?

- Where could censorship be beneficial? Are there genres in which censorship should be considered more often, or that are more often targeted for censorship?

[Comic Cocoon @ComicCocoon]

- What do you consider to be “censorship”?

- Have you experienced censorship of your work due the platform you use or the venues you sell at? How has this affected your work, and how have you handled it?
