To clarify what is happening, he recently appears to have sided with the gender criticals after going regressive in 2014.
Nah, his politics have always been radfem/terf, rather than intersectional. It's just that terfs have pivoted to a conflict that aligns with sane people.
Remember, it's easy to conflate two disparate ideologies if they are distant enough from your own.
He does however skew libertarian/government skeptical, which is unusual for a radfem, but not strictly incompatible with the ideology.
I get what you are saying, as alot of right wing populists do not care about obscenity, while a lot of paleocons tend to have bitchfits over obscene media like the old guard tradcons, which is why the two groups do not get along.
LOL that's some high-grade alt-right right-wing-extremist stuff ... by today's standards anyway.
Someone fell in a vat of red pills.
Sinfest became a slow-motion tranwreck over the years, it was amazing to watch someone change so drastically. For example, compare 2005 Sinfest to 2015 Sinfest.
The first one is lame too.
It's not the funniest joke, but I picked that specific comic for 2005 because it shows how much Sinfest has changed when discussing political issues. In 2005, political topics are the setup for a joke without any serious meaning or connotation. In 2015, those topics are the main purpose of the strip, conveyed seriously with comedy as an afterthought.
Not so sure. I think the author is just so radical feminist that he turned TERF.
Holy crap his subreddit has turned on him. What did I miss in the four years I stopped reading this?
I only ever read sinfest prior to 2010, so this was all quite a lot.

His most recent comics make him come off like a MAGA person, but I think he's most like a incelish JK Rowling.
More likely that it was taken over.
There's a cohort of infiltrationist mods, allied with the srs brigade, who like to take over and squat on subreddits about people and topics to the right of mao
Remember r/gamergate ?
