I'd say for a discord probably an invite only would be the safest option considering what I've heard about your experiences with fighunter. And chances are if it's via kickstarter or patreon, you'll see some of us around. Hopefully, we don't scare you that much o-o
Commentors on series are interesting. I know that for the series Good Omen, most of the offened people saw the series as blasphemous. And then there was one who was offended right 'round the other direction because "the series promoted creationism." Having watched all 6 episodes, I can say that both are off base a bit. Well, for starters, it's a comedy series so it's expected that things don't go exactly as the Bible says it does. And secondly, the opening sequence involves God narration of when she, yes she, created the universe and how the calculated age was wrong and it was on a Tuesday (or Thursday I forget the exact quote). That jab really doesn't promote creationism. And thirdly, even though the series take the piss out religion, specifically Christianity, it doesn't beat down that religion is bad. The series takes some of the stories of Christianity and puts their own spin on it while holding the roots of the story true. I mean if you want offensive, I think the Brazilian series of weed smoking Jesus would qualify, even though the creators say it's a comedy.

The regular commenters here, yourself included, would be the people I'd hope would join the Discord!
I saw Good Omens a few weeks ago, though I didn't look up reviews for that for whatever reason so this is the first I've heard of those responses! I'd read the original book years ago and liked both the authors (Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman), so I regarded it mostly as a Thing By Them and knew it to be a comedy at its core. Not everything has to promote something, and fiction isn't fact, of course!
