 Post subject: to Metro: when a cartoon does discriminatory harm? |
 |
|
Letter the Metro, the free paper you get on buses and trains, is unlikely to print. Obviously it owes printing it to all the minorities affected by the real society impact made by a cartoon it has printed:
"Though cartoons should be free to criticise harmdoers, they should not be free to inflict personal harm themselves. Hence, unless you want to risk being sued for contributing to suicides, you should ban and refuse to publish cartoons like today's Pearls Before Swine, gloating over the spectacle of unjust social attitudes causing loneliness.
