This is the one xkcd that hasn't been made into goatkcd. In case you thought the goatkcd person wasn't a fag.

This was the specific one that broke the camel's back for me. It's not just the outright political campaigning, it's the usual victimisation of "muh stolen Nigger vote" narrative. If you need a fucking webcomic to vote, maybe you shouldn't vote in the first place.

Most of what I would consider memorable (in a good way) or "my favorites" are all pre-2010, except for this 2014 one. Still, that's almost a decade ago, and remarkably bad if it's 10 years with some 120 strips a year, but whatever.
Also I noticed on the homepage that Homestuck is on the list of "comics I enjoy". Great, so he's not only a Reddit-tier douchebag but has Tumblr-tier taste.

He definitely was a major factor in its popularization. There was a period of time in reddit's history when if certain subjects came up, you could set your watch by the people that would come in and post the related xkcd comic. And every other retard in there would parrot back "Wow, there really is an xkcd for everything". There's even a subreddit now called r/iamverysmart based around his comic of the same name where he heckin' deboonks some chud saying the average person is a moron. There was a time when people looked at xkcd and assumed because he has a physics degree, he must know what he's talking about on [political science/animal husbandry/opening a farm supply store].
The worst part is that I like the idea of taking complicated concepts and boiling them down into simpler ideas. But for fuck's sake Randall, there's explaining a concept to someone that's not a subject matter expert but is generally a smart person, and there's explaining a concept to a brain-damaged five year old. I can't tell if it's just a haha funny marketing gimmick or if this is Randall telling on himself that he thinks non-STEM majors are morons, but this whole "haha talking like a child is funnay" schtick is getting real, real old. Sam Hyde suggested it's a psyop to condition us into being helpless children for a nanny state government, and with every 30 year old I meet that behaves like a 10 year old with a thesaurus, I believe it more and more.

Randall has always been a fucking cuck, his first exposure to the internet was fanfic forums so he immediately got long-housed and never recovered. He made a comic about how "there are no girls on the internet" is so heckin offensive.

Here's one of the few based Xkcd comics, Randall would likely disavow today:
About the only thing worse than Randall is people editing his comics to fit whatever narrative they want to push, like all the doomposting about Twatter dying from Elon Muskrat back when that was the Current Thing to be Extremely Outraged about:
Finally, crosspost from the urbanism thread.

Just got reminded of one of the more disingenuous comics he had:
I want to see the one math department that isn't at least 90%+ male. If you take the top 10% talent in math of men vs. women, it is dominantly male. But like all science cucks, god forbid someone use statistics in the "wrong" way. LOOK AT THE FUNNY DIAGRAM ABOUT X! ISN'T IT WACKY!

Are anti car idiots like healthcare idiots that just randomly scream some shitty european country name without context on how it is run or the fact that is some city that was built centuries ago so the streets don't support cars anyways? Just googling it, it doesn't look like the Netherlands are especially car free:

Social issues is the usual defensive mechanism those people revert to when the data starts showing things that doesn't align with their politics. Even now, where universities will fall over themselves to have females in STEM, and just about every Hollywood film has some sheboon super scientist, these people will still pretend low female admission is because stereotypes that haven't been correct for half a century.

This can be very easily edited to be the slippery slope. Something like “giving up innate freedoms can’t be wrong because x is so dangerous” and then he goes down the HolocoasterSlide into the oven.

Have you ever done something embarrassing in high school?
Have you ever done something embarrassing in high school for like six solid years and posted about it on the internet multiple times a week?
Hey. It's me. I wrote XKCD Isn’t Funny (XIF, pronounced “zif”) from when I was fifteen to when I was twenty-one. I'm twenty-six and a girl now, my name's Gwen. I keep on meaning to make this big video essay type thing about the XKCD anti-fandom, but I am an adult who works full time and struggles to get my chores done, so. I'd rather have my thoughts out in this form than not at all.
There were a lot of mistakes I made with this blog. I kinda wish I could go through every post and update them all with disclaimers about how wrong I was. But that would require me to read and edit like four hundred examples of my high school and college writing, and I do not have the psychic strength to do that. So: Anyone reading through this blog from this point forward, after every post, imagine that current-me is yelling at younger-me for being a fascist and/or an idiot.
One of my biggest mistakes was trying to be funny. It really cannot be overstated how much of a self-own so many of my posts are. I tried to criticize someone for being unfunny only to continuously prove that I'm less funny than them.
Fun fact!: When I started this blog I was largely known in high school for being the person who tried to be funny but wasn't good at it. And for being "that weird kid".
Can you imagine all the better things I could have done with my time? I could have learned an instrument or DIY’d my HRT. I could have at least made video essays instead of blog posts, yknow, created media that people outside of a specific niche might've seen.
Fun fact!: Since starting this blog, I have been diagnosed with severe chronic depression, autism, CPTSD, and OCD. Everyone knows the best judges of comedy are suicidal autists.
Another mistake was trying to be smart. My understanding of comic art as a medium was near exclusively limited to a handful of webcomics and Garfield. My grasp of comedy was only a few years developed from unironically enjoying Family Guy. My knowledge of media criticism started with The Nostalgia Critic and ended with the other XKCD hateblogs.
Fun fact!: I never even opened the copy of Understanding Comics I bought like, four years into XIF.
And like, I probably could just delete this blog, and nothing of value would be lost. But every so often, I get a comment saying my shitty jokes are funny or that they wish I'd come back. Every time, it makes me feel like I've at least made my mark on the world or whatever. And also, it's really hard to spend years on something and not feel kinda proud of it. There is the occasional good point in the morass of poorly-disguised self-loathing and sub- sub- Yahtzee Croshaw "criticism". It is at least a document of my progression from ignorant gamergater asshole to semi-tolerable well-meaning leftist. Is a sucky legacy better than no legacy at all? I dunno. Maybe not. This blog is essentially a massive list of reasons to cancel me if I ever stumble upon success. That's without even considering the fact that I'm trans; and if you're a creator who's trans, a group of people will manifest exclusively to try to ruin your life and get you to kill yourself. Is that karma? I used to be part of a harassment campaign and now I worry constantly about being on the receiving end of one?
I once looked up what people were saying about me, and it is brutal. One person started their comment with something like "I found this blog and it just made me really sad.". Fuckin... ouch. And to be clear, I deserved it.
Fun fact!: I somehow once referenced this blog during a job interview as a demonstration of my social media expertise. I was hired on as an intern for a few months. That internship was a college graduation requirement.
It felt really good to be part of a community for a while. A small community, hindered by the fact that Google+ prevented anonymous comments at the time, but still. It felt good to contribute to something. Those memories are mostly tainted now, though.
Jon Levi, the guy who made the post that lead me to the XKCD hatedom in the first place, is now a weird self-hating fascist transmisogynist even though they're trans. Check out their twitter, they're straight up retweeting racist shit and decrying unions and arguing with parody accounts. Sad. Thank fuck the terrible podcast I did with them never went anywhere. Yknow, I still have a short story by them where they reinterpret Cinderella as a wholesome ‘coming out trans’ tale. That’s from before they got radicalized into hatred. If I'd been a better friend to them, could I have saved them?
There's another guy who did XKCD Still Sucks, I forget if he ever gave his name. He started when I announced I was stepping back from regular updates. He says I have "bonhommie" in his blog description, and the first time I read it, I carried that around with me all week. Fuck yeah! People think I'm a nice person! Anyway, most of his blog posts are one-liners, often with a weird fash bend. There's one post that attacks the sexual revolution. I suppose it’s less unexpected than I’d like. Stepping on someone else's platform to immediately start spewing horrible viewpoints was essentially what I did when I started XIF. It did kinda sting, seeing people seemingly respond so positively to such negative-vibes, low-effort writing. Is that really what’s wanted? Was all my effort at improving my writing just wasted? Cause I can stop trying, yknow. I can just update a blog every day and say "Randal Munro more like dumbass fuck". It'd lower the collective standards of discourse by another few notches but I'd take the patreonbux.
Hang on, real quick, let's do one last review so I can say I did the last one.

I went back and checked the release date of that comic. It came out one fucking day after Biden stepped down and Kamala became the presumptive nominee. This nigger could not even wait 24 motherfucking hours before proclaiming his love for the new Democratic nominee. This man is on a new level of NPC, he doesn't even need to wait for the firmware updates anymore.
The fact that there was once a period of my life in which I considered Randall Munroe intelligent and insightful causes me to cringe more than every single thing I did in high school to impress girls put together. Literal NPC bugman shit.

The person that's been Second in Command to the (arguably) strongest country in the world for damn near four years and accomplished less than nothing insists that, on being given a promotion, she will fix everything that she could have been fixing since she got the job in the first place.
This fucking nigger is a retard.
