How should we handle Stonetoss?

Yeah, just look at the reviews section and find the ones with the most comments; there's quite a few "debates".

This place has proven remarkably flame war free this past day. Nonetheless, the 3 days are up, and the consensus is to toss (pun intended) and PRLC Webcomic/Stonetoss. Hollering for a call.

I wish the options had been "cut" and "cut and PRLC" rather than make the option "PRLC it if we cut it." I'm okay with cutting the page because I'm suspicious of the way it was first created, but I don't think I want it on PRLC until there's proof that it causes problems outside the forums. If someone from this discussion wants to remake it from the ground-up, with everything we said taken into consideration, I wouldn't mind.

Creator.CN Real got recreated much more neutrally after being in the club for a decade, so who knows?

So is Creator.Uwe Boll.

So we'll just wait for Stone to stop making comics so he won't be as heated a topic to discuss, I suppose, since that's pretty much what happened with CN Real.

Has the Locked Pages thread been alerted about the potential new member to the PRLC? EDIT: Seems the locking was brought there, and mentioned the PRLC likelihood as well.

For what it's worth, the suspended troper who made the Stonetoss page is saying the edit that omitted Judaism from another page was based in facts about the author being Christian, not in prejudice, and is okay with the change to "Abrahamic God," which is less worrying than I thought. Still keeping an eye on that situation, though.

Someone toss the stone into the PLRC blackhole, please.

I was actually responsible for recreating CN Real, lol.

Have you hollered the mods?

Hollered the mods.

Now that it's been three days, we can theoretically call the crowner, right?

I hollered the mods to call it.

'Judeo-Christian' is standard terminology even for Christians. Coupled with the curiously 'neutral' Stonetoss phrasings and the meme avatar which is linked to unsavory folks? Not thinking we're out of the woods

Plus the context of the author seeing Jesus Christ as God doesn't hold up because the god in the book referred to in the entry is that white-beard archetype of God, not Jesus. I just brought their claims up because I wanted to be fair, but still erring on the side of caution.

Apologies for being too inept to find it myself but I've tried to find the general ROCEJ thread that's been mentioned and I have completely failed. Can anyone let me know where it is? It sounds interesting.

Also, while the general situation here requires mod approval, would it be okay for the time being for me (or someone else who is much better at this) to edit the Stonetoss entry on the Gag-per-Day Webcomics page? It's currently this:

"A bi-weekly strip making fun of both sides of the political aisle, slaughtering Sacred Cows left and right."

which I think is, er, extremely inaccurate, unless they're referring to Stonetoss' ability to mock people from all political backgrounds who think that the holocaust really happened.

It's in Projects: Long-Term/Perpetual. Find the thread, click back a few pages and you'll find a big ol' debate clogging up the thread.

Sheesh... That is the kind of description you'd write if your actual goal was to get the comic to people who would not read it if they knew what it actually was.

Now that is a good example of how this work is nigh impossible to trope properly. That's blatantly lying about what's in the work and making it seem like a south park esqe makes fun of everyone instead of a hate screed.

Just dewicked it. You can cut the work page and the laconic.

All done. The articles are cut, locked, and PRLC'ed. Is there anything left to do?

What about my proposed notice?

• Webcomic.Stonetoss: A webcomic which consisted only of alt-right views. Since there was no narrative and the creator tries to deny the comic being alt-right, it was very hard to trope neutrally without accidentally coming off as promoting hate speech, not to mention attracted unwanted attention from the creator, so the page was decided by the community to be cut and locked.

Oh. I suppose that's better than what I wrote. I'll copy that in.

Regarding the query on "gag a day comic"....yeah, can we make that a bit more accirate?

Too late. Already been dewicked.
