I guess my issue with it is, once it published it's kind of in bad form to take it back or retcon it.
It would be like if Pixar decided today, oh crap we don't like the ending of Toy Story 3, and even tho 10 million people already went and saw it. We're going to pull it from theaters, switch it out with a toned down version and never show the original ever again. You never see a band sell a thousand albums and then do a recall to change one song.
It's perfectly acceptable for an artist to create something and decide they aren't comfortable with it and decide to change it, but once you put it out there I dont think you should make that change. Or if you think a change is better, then make an additional piece of art, don't replace the original work.
Binary:
Did you read that, George Lucas, you OBSESSIVELY MEDDLING BASTARD?!
The Duke:
But in this case, it's not related to the main story. It's more like Pixar changing the short film at the beginning of the movie after the opening week (if they even do those anymore).
Tuitsuro:
Why was it creepy and offensive? It's sort of hard to explain. There's the whole 'violence against women' angle, but I don't think that was the only thing which Jeph didn't like about it. It was probably the cumulative scenario; ST's look of utter disgust and anger, the implied coercion, the burnt panties (and whatever physical trauma you could draw from that), Yelling Bird acting like Yelling Bird, as well as the idea that YB was going to set off another 27 rockets, all in an attempt to celebrate the artist's birthday. I could find it slapstick funny the same way I used to find cartoons like Tom and Jerry funny (granted, I was about 12 then...) but at the same time I can see why it's creepy. Hell, a lot of Tex Avery cartoons were creepy if you thought too much about them.

So because ST and YB are minor characters(or even unrelated to QC characters) their stories aren't important?
