Idk , but if my father told me that when I was a child, I would change the subject like the way that character did.

Yeah, a kid not really caring and just asking can they have pizza for dinner or watch Paw Patrol instead of saying some woke shit is much more believable.

Plus a kid would probably already suspect their mom isn't like other girls already depending on how old they are. They'll get teased by other kids because the other kids' parents will definitely spill the beans about mommy being a boy. All they know mommy is mommy and that doesn't change anything. Mommy being trans will be a topic the kid will broach by themselves if the teasing gets to them, though.

I actually went to the Patreon to see if there was some secret adult tier, but it's pretty pristine.
I'm not one to equate ALL nudity with explicit adult content, but it seems oddly excessive. This is a reach but I feel like it may be one of the few instances where the nudity in a ref sheet was depicted with genuine artistry in mind instead of titillation, but it just feels irrelevant.

Same, fam. Nudity in a reference sheet/profile can be tastefully done without coming across as weird if you've got a character who A. Hides a disfigurement the audience is aware of, B. covered in scars/tattoos and you want to show off your skill in rendering them, or C. Character is frequently in next to nothing/nude or a zombie and you are cleverly using their shredded gore to censor the more nsfw bits.

I forgot all about this and saw it being touted when it first came out. The cast page has no summary, not even a sentence, about who the characters are, but makes sure you know their pronouns and orientation.

This image really has served me well when it comes to SJW comics. They're all the same. Pronouns, sexual orientation and race and nothing else. Also, I have to wonder, why white SJWs love putting non-white people into their comics but never actually address it or use that person's culture authentically to flesh out their personality? They basically just colour someone black or ambigiously brown and call it day without any regard to their culture or upbringing. It's fairly passive milquetoast racism in some ways.

Counter point, nothing is more annoying then when its "KULTURE THYME, GUISE" in an otherwise decent story, and we get treated to either said culture being shoehorned in for no other reason than to address it this one time or its for a tragic backstory of hatecrimes and exclusion.

Or when you decide that you need to be progressive so someone has to be gay so lets pick...the completely sexless headmaster. Yeah. Perfect.

Also shocked no one brought up that 50s comic about everyone being LGBT. Rock n Riot. http://rockandriotcomic.com/

Not the worst thing I've seen since the art is nice, but throwing modern tumblrism into the American 1950s makes for a really lazy and dull comic that borders on fetishing.

I agree bro. Sure seems like it.

This character says that both gangs are too gender-restrictive, but judging by the cast section, their own gang is entirely populated by nothing but gender-specials. Maybe it’s just me, but that seems a little hypocritical. I think the message would have worked better if they were open to anyone, regardless of gender identity, joining the gang.

I get that. It can be really annoying to have a diversity hire character that is one dimensional. Or to stick it to white people. (See: That awful new Elizabeth and Mary Queen of Scots movie that has Mary with a black and Asian lady in waiting and Elizabeth with some random black politician Lord. Why? I have no clue. Stop blackwashing history godammit)

But let's face it, our culture (even white European or North American) dictates what we value. Some stereotypes are true kinda. But when you slap a minority status on a character for no reason, don't give them any personality or insight from their upbringing or family, then what was the point of making them that race in the first place? For bonus virtue signal points, I know but still.

I completely agree with you on blackwashing history. Particularly English history post-scandanvian invasion to 1900s.
I'll grant there may have been a bit of variety in folks during the roman colonization perioid, but once the Danes moved in, anything that was there would have been diluted out. And the Normans were on the north coast of france, their own largely separate people, so pretty much chance of some riveria diversity working its way north (and even then, southern france didn't start getting arabized till the later 1800's).

I guess I don't care what a character's skin color is. Make your stereotypical nerd black, have his stereotypical middle class family black. That's fine, I don't care. What I do care is that if they make a character black, at some point we're going to get a whiteguilt trip about racism=bad and microaggressions. Which also isn't necessarily bad, except for we've gotten this constantly since the 60s, its the exact same thing over and over, and the only thing new that's being said is that if you keep a man with stubble and a penis from entering the ladies room, you are perpetuating the holocaust.

I think we're arguing around the same point which is one dimensional lazy characters are bad. But SJW queer comics get promoted and asspats given all around, when anything else as low-effort and lazily written/casted would be relegated to obscurity or roundly and mercilessly mocked.

Consider the mirror image: imagine a comic about a bunch of pick-up artists who have zero personality except for trying to get laid.

It's a pretty common tumblrface sadly. Be thankful it's not shaded/blushed red for no reason.

I was confused reading this comic because I didn't get who's who. I didn't read it through the end because I get bored but this comic is kinda weird sometimes, everyone is gay but when the black girl told her friends she has a crush, they all assumed that's a man or didn't ask if they're not a woman... and that strange chapter too, you're lesbian in the "50s" but you're still christian and think of mariage ? That doesn't make any sense.

Gravity Breaks is a special kind of bad in the same vein as Sonichu. Made by a certified autist, the webcomic celebrates gender euphoria, wages war on the concept of gravity, and repeats a number of tumblr talking points.

The comic's setting hinges upon a cataclysm which turns our asexual lesbian transsexual main character, Emelia, into a true and proper cat girl, complete with boobs and a tail. The aftermath of the transformation being described by the author as "a trans girl experiencing gender euphoria for the first time, and it is well known that this is the purest and most wholesome things to exist in this world." This wish fulfillment doesn't stop there though as later she develops superpowers, during which the character hears in the color purple. This catgirl is just one of many who don sailor moon inspired outfits and fight evil using magic.

Her girlfriend Minkah is just as cringeworthy. Described the author as autistic in the comments, this character is a cop-hating African who has a hard time finding work because she isn't white and neurotypical, requiring a sensory-friendly room in order to do her job. Future Sweden has apparently stopped being a neo-liberal haven though as apparently now its cops are straight up racist and dangerous to be around, even though none of the characters have had any problems with them. That doesn't stop the author from murdering off some cops for shits and giggles using their edgy OC catgirl, princess of night. One of the other catgirls uses ne/nem/nir/nemself pronouns. As you can imagine, the comic professes open borders as a virtue. I'd say the comic professes leftwing anarchism but that would be giving the author too much credit. They're likely just repeating arguments they were told by others.

I don't think anyone has brought up Asmundr and its sequel comic, Home.

Asmundr is a Norse-themed fantasy comic about dogs fighting against evil alien dogs (yes there are aliens in this). It gained popularity pretty quickly back when it was still posted on DA, thanks to frequent uploads and art that looks passable at cursory glance. In terms of plot it's... not very good, in a baby's first webcomic kind of way, with a personality-free protagonist and poor writing. Nevertheless, it was completed, which is impressive for somebody's first attempt at making a comic, I guess?

The sequel, Home, was started days after Asmundr's ending and manages to be worse in almost every aspect. By now it's almost as long as Asmundr (400+ pages), no end in sight, and so far it's mostly just gay melodrama with little story. The old main character was bland but in Home, the protagonist is the kind of guy who would postpone searching for his lost friend (who might be held captive by a rapist tribe btw) just so he could have sexy bath time with his new bf.

The author, who goes by Kique7 and has an ED page, is notorious for tracing/recycling art, ripping off that one Spartacus TV series and inability to handle criticizm, going as far as blocking his own friends and Patreon supporters for criticizing his comics (which is evidenced here)

Oh and these are also known for featuring some... questionable themes.

Thankfully there are no explicit sex scenes in the main comic, but I've heard there are Patreon-only NSFW bonus pages... just in case anyone wanted to waste some cash on drawn dog dicks.
