View submission: [Recap] The great xkcd mod-sidebar blowup
no they wouldn't. pretty sure some people would believe it or there would be outrage created somehow. let me put it another way. you have a business. it has a facebook page. every time someone goes to your facebook page there is a box on the right linking to racist websites, anti semetic websites, etc. would you not be mad that people would link your product to such things? people would think you endorsed them

People who read xkcd already know that the sidebar links have nothing to do with it and the author would be against them. And people know that the subreddit is made by fans.
/r/xkcd has dealt with the sidebar for at least a year, so it's just weird that now it would become a big drama.
