Hi, I'm a graphic designer. You may know me from my greatest hits including, "72dpi won't print properly", "I think the logo is big enough", "It's supposed to look like that" and "Did you receive my invoice?"

Hi, I'm a data visualisation professional. You may know me from my greatest hits including, "No, your y-axis doesn't have to start at zero (lines remix)", "Do you really need a dashboard?", "I don't hate pie charts but..." and "That dual-axis chart looks a little confusing."

Watching the "don't pirate comics" debate unfold again on Twitter and impressed by the increasingly inane reasons pirates are trying to justify why pirating is OK. Incidentally they're the same folks that complain when publishers have to cancel series due to low sales.

If Comicsgate ‘just want good indie comics’ why do they spend so much time denigrating women and LGBTQ+ creators and mainstream superhero comics online and in their videos? Not really ‘helping the cause’ is it?

The biggest fallacy in the "comics are dying because they're woke" argument is that there actually isn't a set way that comics should be written and drawn; because comics naturally flow with the the public that reads them; and you can't keep referencing the 80s and 90s.

It bears repeating: ComicsGate is a dumpster fire filled with hateful people, hiding their sub-par talent behind propaganda and fear of anything that’s not like them. Don’t hang out with them, don’t work with them. It’s a rash that doesn’t wash off.
