Legal & Editorial Guardrails

Facts first. Satire second.

This publication is built as satire with a documented factual backbone. It is not a free-fire zone for exaggeration, and it is not trying to imitate any third-party brand identity or trade dress.

Satire and opinion, not fiction posing as reporting

Lizard Wrangler publishes satire and opinion grounded in documented public claims, source material, and reporting notes. The comic frame is editorial treatment, not a substitute for evidence.

Facts should stand without the joke

Any material factual claim should remain defensible after the cowboy voice gets stripped away. If the factual backbone cannot stand on its own, it does not belong in print.

Behavior only, never identity

Programs are evaluated by what they claim, hide, charge, and document. Protected identity is out of bounds. The "lizard people" frame is tied to deceptive conduct only.

Primary sources over gossip

The preferred record is the operator's own marketing, terms, screenshots, pricing pages, public statements, filings, and other attributable source material. Anonymous rumor is not enough.

Room for correction and redemption

If an outfit materially improves its transparency, terms, proof, or disclosures, the publication should say so. Follow-ups and redemption arcs are part of the editorial model, not an afterthought.

No ads, affiliates, or sponsored posts

The publication does not sell praise. Revenue pressure should not be allowed to contaminate editorial judgment.

Contributor Standard

Outside contributors are held to the same standard: source what you can prove, separate inference from fact, and do not let the joke invent the record.

Corrections

When the record changes, the publication should change with it. That can mean a correction, an update, or a redemption arc if the subject materially improves its practices.
