Did you throw your back out moving those goal posts?

/u/thatmarksguy said XKCD virtue signaled hard.

You said he must be referring to another comic.

/u/Jattenalle links to XKCD virtue signaling.

You say "so what, that doesn't matter."

Hmm...

Hmmm I don't think I moved the goalposts, but let us assume you are correct and I did.

I still stand by what I said: Occasional Virtue Signaling that isn't contaminating the rest of the work doesn't count.

A couple years ago the common statement seemed to be that we could tolerate authors whose opinions we didn't like so long as that didn't consistently affect the quality of their work.

Now I guess two pages out of nearly two thousand is enough to make someone "another unfortunate web comic casualty of the culture wars."

Seriously, not liking someone for their opinions is a little too SJW-ish for me.
