>acquaintance of acquaintance gets in touch with me
>says he’s making a comic anthology and wants me to be a featured artist for one of its short comic stories
>comic is only 5 pages but pay rate is good and will be paid upfront

>find out comic anthology is typical super liberal social justice crap.
>shit to do with immigration and trans rights
>my political views have always been middle of the road so some aspects I like about it, but the story I will be working on is typical liberal cringe with a social commentary on illegal immigration and ICE.
>I kinda still want to work on the story because the pay is good and it could lead to other opportunities, but I’m worried it’ll affect my reputation.

What would you do?

This. Most comic, animation and video game industry professionals lean more left than right.

If anything, you’ll be blacklisted if you have a conservative view.

Art is always more important than the subject. Even if it’s a subject I don’t like, I realize it’s always better for my work to reach different audiences instead of just one.

USA? That's sooooo 2016. Tell him the comic needs to be about homophobic Muslims, and Israel and China deporting undesirables, or he is a pussy. Also throw in a few panels about how the western powers carving up Africa and the Middle East all willynilly resulted in different tribes/ethnicity being forced together, AKA diversity, and not a single problem resulted from it. Conversely, Korea and Japan are homogeneous and thus total crime-ridden poverty-stricken shitholes with no culture.

You'll regret it in the future. This is your dignity yelling at you. Sure it's a liberal world now, but you can't guarantee it'll be like that forever.

Fucking do it, OP.
Do it, but do your worst fucking job and under a pseudonym so you don't get associated with the nutcases, then just take the money and run.
Political retards usually care more about the message than the art, so don't bother too much with it.

I did the same shit when I was invited to do the art for a "Resist" anthology and I just let the writer to take all the credit while I just took the money.

just dont do it. if you dont want to do it dont do it. dignity is more important than money. (unless you're like literally on the street shitting yourself, then money is more important)

these ultra left types have a weird inverse hierarchy. Just tell them you think someone from marginalized social group x should work on the art as "their message would be more personal and lived"

Do it. Money's Money. SJW shit is whats making money right now take advantage of it. Look at all the big corporations being woke right now. They don't do it because they actually believe it. They do it because they can make a lot of money and it makes their company look good at the same time.

If you are just neutral about it, and find it cringeworthy but don't straight up hate it, i would just do it and ask to not put your name anywhere.

Considering wokeshit dominates media right now, I doubt it will hurt your rep... if anything, if you do a good job it might lead to more opportunities drawing wokeshit. Which might sound bad but... for all you know, you could get hired by Marvel and be the guy who illustrates the first black Muslim transqueer nonbinary asexual polyromantic Spiderthey comic.

Or, not. But I tend to think, if an opportunity presents itself, and the pay is good, go for it. Cuckshit or not, that's what will separate you from the ngmis.

If it was the other way around I would be concerned but right-wingers like capitalism so they'll understand.

There's not that same attitude of "boycotting an artist because they are problematic"
