Darling, you can’t learn how to go viral. You either are trending or you aren’t

Transmetropolitan (comic book) by Warren Ellis is everything you asked for, except the Punk element. Spider Jerusalem is a journalist that embodies everything about the aspect, though. He’s exceedingly anti-authoritarian, exists to antagonize societal and cultural norms, loud, in-your-face, and pretty much is everything punk except for the mohawk and circle pitting for 3-chord rebellious anthems.
I think that’s the problem too; harm will change depending on the person. What hurts one person won’t necessarily hurt another. People think that LGBTQ+ identities are harmful to children, even though everyone in that community knows that denying themselves is the most harmful thing they’ve ever experienced. The problem, I’d argue, lies more with education and protection. If we don’t reinforce education and rights, we will see them erode.
Then there’s also more complex questions, like self-harm. We tend to frame the question around that as “what’s more important, the person’s physical health, or their agency?” In reality, I would say that the question should be rephrased as “what does the person need? How could we better support them?” This way we can both address the person’s physical health and respect their autonomy.
I do appreciate the message and intent behind the comic, but I find vague words like “good” and sayings like “do no harm” to be too vague. IMO, we need to focus on communally building resources and support that can be adapted and tailored to individual needs. To avoid the aforementioned vagueness, I would define that as things like training healthcare and education workers to always seek to understand the individual they’re treating/teaching, to get to the root of what they need. It’s been my opinion that we only ever serve the good of either that which serves the mean (in a statistical sense,) or the few in power. By letting go of our social expectations and focusing on what we experience in the moment, on the state of being, we would drastically reduce suffering.

A shopping mall and office complex in downtown Montreal is being criticized for using the popular children's song 'Baby Shark' to discourage unhoused people from loitering in its emergency exit stairwells.
On a little vacay in Istanbul. This cat came to hang out at a restaurant down the street. He pawed my thigh, I thought he was gonna jump on me to ask me for pets and food, but I had no food left. I told him “sorry buddy I’m outta food.” Turns out he knew & was just pawing my thigh to move it so he could leave and find his next target.
I’ve seen people give full meals to this cat, he’s well fed.
