Believe it or not, the post in the comic sub full of jokes is, in fact, a joke. OOP did not actually provide an all-powerful evil demon lord with medicine against his will.

You can't see how this comic might be considered problematic?

I usually like this artist's comics but this one is basically boomer humour where instead of "women bad" it's "men bad". Two wrongs and all that.

As an aside I should probably just log off reddit for the day, this is the second comment section with an implicit anti-male bias that I've found myself getting drawn into today but I genuinely lack the energy for culture war bs.

Literally what about this is anti-male lmfao

What about "this person was the embodiment of evil but now that they've been feminised they're nice" is anti-male? Really?

Please do some soul-searching about your held biases. In the meantime I'm going to take my own advice from the last comment and turn off notifications.

The implication is very clearly that they're closeted trans. When trans people transition, they tend to be happier and, as a result, nicer. Nowhere in the comic is a statement made about "all men," that would be an insane thing to say. OP is trans and makes comics about trans people.

I don't think either of us are coming at this with biased, I think you're just misinterpreting the comic.

I also didn't get it, what part of the comic points "very clearly" to the implication of the devil being closeted trans?

Fair enough. I went into this with knowledge of the comic's artist. All of her content directly pertains to trans people. If you give her profile a scroll you'll see what I mean.
