Marvel Comics recently fired an illustrator for hiding Islamist,
anti-Semitic and anti-Christian references in his art.
It wasn't exactly his art in which the references were hidden - it was Marvel's art. He hid the references in comic panels, commissioned by Marvel and designed specifically for publication in a Marvel comic.
- jacquesm 10y agoThat's a practice that is as old as Michelangelo.
- Bartweiss 10y agoThe bait-and-switch here is pretty bad, yeah. This was content hidden in his professional work that he was dismissed over. It's not comparable. If someone were putting inflammatory political content in the Drupal source, it'd be an unambiguous CoC violation and I think they'd have basically no defenders.
- jacquesm 10y agoArtists aren't typically doing peer-review before merge.
- protomyth 10y agoI get the feeling that Marvel and others might change that if it costs them more money.
- chickenfries 10y agoArtists in many industries do tons of peer review, actually.
- jacquesm 10y agoBut not in the sense that programmers do it. Of course there is the 'hackers and painters' essay by PG but I don't see it that way. Artists are a lot freer in their expressions than programmers ever will be, syntax, coding styles, those pesky specifications and so on.
- chickenfries 10y agoSure, I agree that painting is not programming. But in the context of professional artists, many of them are CONSTANTLY being reviewed by peers and stakeholders.
