- Do you worry about offending specific people with your writing? Where's your line between honest expression and regard for other people's feelings? This was Bane's brilliant idea for a Quackcast. We touch a little on the idea of a “culture of offence”, where it seems that people look for things to be offended by, perhaps on behalf of others, but also about things that really CAN cause offence and how to avoid that. On one hand you have people complaining that everything is too “PC” these days, but on the other it's really not OK to be a dick to people just because you like to cling to the old days when it was fine to put down people on the basis of ethnicity, skin-colour, gender, or sexuality… But we can also cause offence accidentally, unintentionally, unknowingly… Should you compromise your vision to appease people, or should you forge ahead regardless? Keep in mind that some things that are fine for SOME audiences are offensive to others, so rather than fight with your audience or appease them perhaps it's better to try and actively direct your work at the CORRECT audience it's intended for? - speaking in terms of sex scenes, politics, etc.

Ha! Well I didn't think of deliberately seeking to cause offence! That's another aspect entirely. :D

"The greatest enemy of art is good taste." - Pablo Picasso. If you seek to offend, make sure you're punching up and make a hamburger out of those sacred cows. Only an asshole punches down on those with no power.

That Gay Duck comic reminds me of an animated series that a friend of mine worked on. It was called "Queer Duck" https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=queer+duckhttps://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=queer+duck

I'm just glad you were able to resurrect your old "Gay Duck" series! The page to listen to the episode isn't loading, though..

Thanks man! It was so much fun drawing the little comic. Very liberating to work rough like that. :D
