About the same.

It depends a lot on the topic. For topics that are polarizing and those where I know I disagree with the popular sentiment, I'm more lenient with downvotes. But it's always at least a yellow flag to have a lot of downvotes.

Historic garb as inspiration for modern fashion

The current style trends for men are very conservative, so you don't see a lot of more expressive outfits everyday. I've seen a few pieces that are somewhat similar to your first two examples. Like this jacket. Men are pressured to dress more very plainly these days. You see some expression by celebrities, but it doesn't reach what ordinary people wear.

Beyond the current masculine culture, there's pressures of modern society. Are you going to wear something like that to work everyday? Are you ready to dry clean or handwash your outfits that often? It seems like a lot of fabrics, patterns, and styles didn't survive the development of mechanized washing.

The "Jewish Space laser" lady making sense

Useful how? Harris was wrong to spend so many resources trying to attract Republicans that she thought could be swayed away from Trump. She converted very few voters, and lost a lot of voters on the left. Why should we repeat that same mistake?

Using MTG aligns you with an antisemite, and if it attracts anyone to your cause, it will be more antisemites.

First of all, @SalmiakDragon@feddit.nu is right. That's not what antisemitism means.

Second, what could possibly give you the idea that MTG isn't also bigoted towards Arabic people as well as Jewish people?

MTG is absolutely an antisemite and not someone we need to give more airtime too. Don't care if she's railing against people I don't like.

That's a good sentiment to have for things that need to be built for society as a whole. You don't need to extend the same courtesy to for profit endeavors that don't provide a general benefit.

This is not standing up to support building a homeless shelter in your neighborhood, because it has to go somewhere. It's more like supporting a McDonald's. There's plenty of them already, and they have plenty of other options for building more.

My fear with banning artists who have made bigoted comics is how that relates to older comics. For example I really enjoy those Jucika strips, but given their age I wouldn't be that surprised if the original artist had some opinions that we wouldn't tolerate today.

Regardless of my fear, I'm more concerned with having a space that's welcoming to all people and I'm well aware of the "Nazi bar" problem. So I would come down on having a ban list of bigoted creators that aren't welcome here.

Both, I moved and they closed. I got to visit the location further down Chestnut before they closed, but they had downsized a lot by then.

I Goldberg back when it was at 17th and Chestnut. I got some great vintage French combat boots there, and they had a lot more stuff that I liked and couldn't afford at the time.

Yes, that's it exactly. "Break" in this context means a disruption in the smooth pant leg. Breaking once means that you've got one crease or fold in an otherwise smooth pant leg.
