This has been a real big problem over the last few years. I think you have to just try not to care about it. Perhaps it got a *little* easier now? I'm hoping we've passed peak outrage.

I hope so too. Trying not to care, yes, I guess that's what I'm trying to say with this comic.

Oh yeah - relatable! It's a fine line between being "your authentic self" and "offensive" nowadays. Apparently. I so DON'T want to think about it, honestly; just to preserve some spontaneity!

Yes, the self-censoring stifles the joy of creativity. It is all too easy to offend someone, even a minute disagreement is enough these days. Maybe I should re-draw this as a straightjacket instead of a stake.

No, the stake works fine - that's what you get when you refuse the straightjacket! :D
