    Every one of this person’s comics are inscrutable and don’t even read as things a typical chud would say. Is that statue supposed to be Uncle Sam? Is it an amalgam of Washington and Lincoln?

    I used to read Sinfest around 2009 and this guy used to be a standard lib. Now he’s like a frothing antisemitic transphobe chud. What happened exactly in the years I missed?

      Apparently, from what I’ve found, he went radical TERF back in 2011 and then started the transition to go full Nazi back in 2019.

      The author of Sinfest made this? I had to look this up to check if you were joking. I never felt strongly about Sinfest—it seemed okay from what little I read of it—but holy cow, this downgrade is shockingly massive.

      Remind me to never become petty bourgeois.

        Yeah this literally is Sinfest. This is what it is now. A lot of the recent stuff is anti-Israel, but not even for good reasons. It’s all very direct antisemitism, comparing Jews to Orcs or saying there’s a Jewish conspiracy controlling the US government. When he’s not doing that, it’s all transphobia and bizarrely claiming that America is a pro-trans dictatorship that arrests and/or executes anyone who expresses the slightest amount of transphobia. Which, that would be cool honestly. I do wish transphobes like the Sinfest guy would face punishment and re-education.

          The fact that a comic went from being actually cool and funny to being pretty much neo-Nazi propaganda is very depressing.

      That’s the famous statue of Uncle Sam, inventor of America. In 2020 the woke left tried to cancel it but it survived. Now this happened. Smdh my damn head.
