A few months ago there was a post on [livejournal.com profile] snarkoleptics where a guy announced he was not going to read Tales of the Questor any more because of the heavy-handed Hard Onions comics being run on the same site. I didn't see it as a big deal – yeah, HO was kinda over the top in Christian/Republicanist propagandizing, but so were several of his other strips. Whereas TotQ, perhaps because it was explicitly set in a fantasy world, escaped the problems of R. H. Junior's biases.

Yeah, yeah, I'll admit intellectually that I'm likely biased as well, but still.

In any case, while I found the HO strips running on the TotQ site annoying, I still stuck around. (And, as you may have noticed, the comics are all separated out now. I heartily approve.) And I'm still sticking around now.

But for the record, if TotQ spirals into a pit of strawman-flaying stupidity, I bet this will be the starting point.

I don't really have money for videogames at present, I'm afraid – thanks for the offer.

And you're right – "Republicanist" is the wrong word. 'Anti-liberal' is probably the more accurate term.

I'll tell people about the GSG elections if I don't forget, but don't expect much....
