So, about these last Sinfest comics...
- Thread starter Santerestil
- Start date
I hate how such a great artistic talent is wasted on producing increasingly terrible comics. Like, that looks real good were it not for all the history dragging it down or the fact that yeah it's pretty much a TERF comic isn't it
e: Like idk that comic's been such insane rambling nonsense for so long I'm not even sure what the point that's being made here is

There was a meltdown in the old Sinfest forums last year when Tat's TERF and SWERF views became much more apparent - Tat replaced the old forums with the current piss yellow TERF/SWERF space for "people who like the message of my comic" and deleted the old forums a month or so after.
And here's him gaslighting a person who was pretty viciously misgendered in a thread on the SWERF forums.
Some of the members of the old forums migrated to a Discord at the tail end I believe.

Can't actually tell.
That would be hilarious though.
People complain about "the feminists" ruining entertainment media and they're basically always full of shit. However, Sinfest is the one and only thing I can think of that actually got "ruined by feminism". It went from being funny, albeit goofy, to just feminism 24/7.
Stopped reading years ago.
So now if it turns out he's actually The Bad Kind of feminist, or Not Feminist Enough or however you want to see it, that would be a right laugh.

Ishida's views couldn't be clearer.
Putting the transgender pride flag colors on drugs manufactured and distributed by literal employees of satan.
Using a matrix metaphor as the medium by which a trans-positive message is delivered to mindless zombies.
Characterizing trans-inclusive language as dogma literally written by Satan.
Sinfest wasn't "ruined by feminism" per se, it was ruined by a creator who has always, always, always shut himself off from the larger community, ignored feedback from his peers and who has been on a decade long slide into hostile radicalization.
There was one comic a few weeks back about doctors prescribing "boy pills" or "girl pills", and that's when it finally clicked for me that the author is a TERF. In retrospect, it was really obvious, I just wasn't paying attention.
The author's stance that all sex work is inherently exploitative and women would only ever engage in that if they were desperate also stuck out to me as odd for such a pro-feminist comic, but I assumed that it was all in good faith.

Ironic how this guy managed to alienate the anti-fem chuds who liked the original raunchy comic only to later on alienate the feminist fans with his terfiness.
Guess he's fine with only British moms and Graham Linehan reading his comic.

I stopped reading Sinfest 15+ years ago, and honestly didn't know it was still around. Something started feeling "off" about it even back then.
This is my exact sentiment. I was maybe 11 or 12 and was already starting to get that same vibe. I have a feeling if I were to reread the first few parts from the start I would find it a lot more objectionable and far less entertaining than I did back then on top of it too.
Because there is a 70's version of feminism that includes all that and some conservatives love it
I used to read this every day but the last few years I've just been indifferent to it.
I think I'm finally done with it though.

Sinfest changed a long time ago into this attempt at being a heavily feminist comic, so this TERF and SWERF turn looks legit for him. It sucks since I used to really like it.

The comic's almost sudden change into extremely beat-you-over-the-head feminism always felt incredibly odd and bizarre. I agreed with the general ideas, but it felt so abrasive and preachy that I always questioned if the author was coming from a not-so-great place with his beliefs. The comic starting to preach TERF ideas makes it all fall into place, honestly. He's come full circle into preaching a toxic, transphobic form of feminism.
The SWERF turn happened a decade ago when sex workers in the Sinfest universe were depicted exclusively as either inhuman demon slaves of Satan or disposable robots exploited only as property for men. The TERF stuff is significantly more recent I guess? This is the first attention I've paid to Sinfest in at least 5-6 years.
