Censoring an old strip?
mustang6172:
Didn't Momo's old chassis have a tentacle deployment system? Or was that eels?
So Valdís, how long did it take you to delete all the n-words from Huck Finn?
Masterpiece:
eels.
Welu:
That was an alternate strip on Jeph's Tumblr. http://jephjacques.com/post/455925283/alternate-version-of-qc-1624-i-think-this-one-is
Edit: Just remembered Momo did say she could during one of her first appearances, actually.
Edit 2: She says it in her first appearance.
Valdís:

It's kind of ironic that you would bleep the word in that statement, but.. See:

It isn't the word that's the problem, it's the attitude. Which is literally the case in Huck Finn, where it's plenty anti-Racist despite just the words. Are you just trolling me or something, Mustang? Because if so that's absurdly inappropriate.
As for the comic's language.. It and maybe a few other non-derogatory words do make me uncomfortable, but that's an issue for me to deal with. Any word that gained mainstream use would end up the same emotionally. That doesn't make the attitude itself okay at all.
Also if it was Mark Twain releasing a new edition where he'd re-written it then that's entirely his prerogative.

"She just moved in down the block"
Huh, so Marigold is on the same street? Actually didn't know that or I forgot it.
Loki:
I find myself confused about the topic of this thread. Is it about
* whether Jeph really changed the strip (he did)
* what triggered the change (we will probably never know)
* whether he had the moral obligation to change it or
* whether he had the moral obligation to leave it like it was?
