CONTENT WARNING
We do not endorse criminal activity nor are we affiliated with any such groups or syndicates and are merely hosting this zine for entertainment as merited by interest in this theme. Any similarities or overlap with existing people and groups is merely coincidental and does not have any connection with the zine and its team.This zine will feature themes that may be upsetting to some including but not limited to depictions, mentions and implications of violence, death, toxic behavior, organized crime (and characters as yakuza/mafia and the like), and other harmful and/or criminal activities. But the zine will also include comedy, crime film crossovers and other similar ideas.However, for the safety and comfort of the whole ROGUE team, we will strictly monitor that none of the pieces include visceral images or heavy gore, terrorism, rape, pedophilia, and prejudiced content such as hatecrime towards specific race/identity, among others, as these are not appropriate even in a comedic sense.Specific content warnings will be provided before preorders on our social media, carrd, and will be featured in the zine itself.
