The Narwhals

The Narwhals are an anti censorship group in the Big Nate Comment Section. The party stands for freedom of speech in the comments and was founded in order to defend pollers in the comment board that posted on topic comments. While the party does not stand exclusively for polls, believing all speech is valid, it's first major action was in defense of user MartySays and his on topic polls in November of 2017. The party was founded by users Narwhal and Pazy of Prussia, and was named the Narwhals by user JONATHAN W.G. when he commented:

"....and the ones speaking up and defending the presence of polls and thinking that the anti-polls are just overreacting with polls. (I’ll call this side The Narwhals because he’s the one defending them the most.)...."

The main group in the comic section that is in opposition with the Narwhals, in both ideals and decisions for the future, are the Anti-Polls.

Key Ideas:

All on topic speech is welcome

A poll should not be censored simply because it is a poll, any on topic poll is okay

Aggressive speech, as long as it does not push violence racism or sexism, should be allowed but not encouraged

Trollers should be ignored and their comments flagged, only if their comment is not relevant

All opinions are valuable and should be tolerated and respected

Notable quotes:

"You say that as if defending polls is wrong, which I still strongly believe it isn’t. What most people here don’t realize, or more accurately choose not to realize, is that we defend free speech, not trolls, not spamming, but the right to say whatever you want as long as it’s relevant. I take absolutely no offense to being called a poll defender, as to me, that means I don’t believe in telling someone what they can and cannot say as long as it isn’t offensive or intentional trolling. We defended Martysays while he was making on-topic, relevant polls, and we will continue to do so until we have actual, solid proof that he really is Boosted. Even if he is childish, that doesn’t give anyone the right to tell him he can’t make on-topic comments. So by all means, continue calling Narwhals poll defenders, because that’s what we are, and I won’t apologize for that." -Narwhal
