I haven't written much on the topic of webcomics this past year, largely because I've been reading fewer of them. The medium seems to have run its creative course for the time being, awaiting future decades' kick in the ass to escape its current mire of milquetoast, politically correct dating dramedy. Ignoring the newer, snowflake cartoonists who largely came by their idiocy honestly via the rapid decline of universities' LAS education since the '90s, most of the active authors predating the current era have also been drinking the Woke-Aid.
The earliest major and most infamously virulent example was of course Tatsuya Ishida of Sinfest, but others like PvP or El Goonish Shive or Something Positive or Questionable Content gradually degenerated to rewriting or introducing "special" character after character, all as blandly idealized as Disney princesses, to enforce the superiority of non-heterosexuals, non-whites and especially non-males. Who needs a plot when you have conceit? Even my perennial favorite Christopher Baldwin has fallen prey to the fad, and Tailsteak, whose ideas were always threatening to run away from him, may or may not be feeding or deliberately bucking the trend with his newest serial Forward. Time will tell.
Feminism, commanding the largest baseline of inherent adherents, tops these former creators' compendium of unquestioned holy writs in their quest for unquestioning approval. Flip a couple of pages and you'll inevitably run into the endlessly reiterated ritual of a female browbeating or condescending to a strawMan. So when glancing at the authors' names one must at some point note that most such notable worthies are in fact male, self-flagellating over being born the wrong sex.
Funny that even in producing their own supremacist propaganda, feminists have fallen back upon the time-honored, all-purpose solution of torturing a man until he does it for you.
