It's cool that you can trust us not to say something in the comments

We appreciate the info you share, about both comics and NSFW

You have to be very careful. There have been some very notorious porn parody comics written by someone calling themselves "Tracy Scops," and the artists on them are pretty prominent in the fan community, but they all use multiple pseudonyms to avoid the wrath of the lawyers.

That's an interesting take on Phenomenal Lass and Giggler, with the costume variations.

We could go back and forth for hours, but the answer is simple. The side with the bigger lawyers wins the argument. I will never win an argument with AT&T (which owns DC Comics). So I tend to avoid arguments with them, whenever possible. :)

Thank you! If it becomes a problem, I will change it. 🙂

So... here's the full story... and more information than you ever wanted. I follow a large number of NSFW comics artists on Patreon, and one of them consistently advises their Patreon backers not to use "character names or company names" in the comments. Now... I know from years of experience that NSFW artists (a) tend to have a tenuous grasp of copyright/trademark issues, and (b) tend to massively exaggerate any content regulation that companies like Patreon enact. However... against my better judgement, this one got under my skin. So... I messaged the NSFW creator and asked them *why* they kept posting the "no names" reminder. That's when I was reminded of the *third* thing I've learned about NSFW creators... they can be VERY secretive. It's not like the webcomics community I cut my teeth in, where we shared *everything* we learned as we were learning it. I still haven't gotten a response, and I don't expect to. And that's perfectly fair. That person owes me nothing, and I'm OK with that. Reading in between the lines of the "No names" request, my guess is that Patreon may have written a 'bot that skims comments to locate such posts so they can weigh in on any that cause a legal risk to the platform. That’s why I posted the “no names” request. If/when I’m able to get better information on the subject, that request may change. Until then, I’m playing it safe.
