Um, which strip was this?

At the risk of joining one of these discussions...
I think Jane is informing us in the QC world, that out there in the hardball, high-stakes arenas where social sexual politics are being thrashed out, but which I (and I suspect many of us here) have little or no contact with, that presenting Tai in certain ways CAN BE USED by malignant, reactionary "Moral Guardians" to support their oppressive agendas and harm people.
I agree in theory, we don't generally want to give these misguided, manipulative morons bad people fuel for their fires, and God Forbid some QC image or joke is taken out of context and misused.
But just how conscious, careful and responsible should people like Jeph be in avoiding all possible misinterpretations of his work? Like many others, I love QC and have massive respect for Jeph's continual creation of a delightful world and characters that touch and entertain us; as well as his overall tolerant, supportive mainstreaming of alternative lifestyles and differently-abled people. I wouldn't want to make that job any harder.
Sadly, sometimes I see the better, more supportive artists receiving more criticism than the evil actors; attacking Faux News seems useless, but 'adjusting' a liberal comic's policies seems more doable.
WaffleIron:
Wait, so people are taking issue that some of the content in Jeph's comic is questionable?
Sorry to be blunt, but what the hell did you expect it to be?

No, it's that some of the content was insufficiently supportive of one poster's worldview, and therefore had to atone for the sins of all other media.
themacnut:
Yeah, that about sums it up.
