Death of the author and all that. Also something about a broken clock.
Some authors are shitty people, but as long as I’m not supporting them I don’t see why I can’t enjoy their work by itself, and my own interpretation of it.
I don’t know what this Jago intended this comic to mean, and, frankly, I don’t give a flying fuck. To me it reads as a criticism of the media’s (and by extension its zombies) penchant for blaming video games (and before that role playing games, and before that rock and other pop music) for every evil in society, when there are much more evident but less convenient causes, and that’s how I choose to interpret it.
Sure, he’s a shitty person who makes shitty comics, no one is denying that.
I’m just saying that you can separate the work from the author and interpret it however you want.
Unlike in the ones you posted, where the shitty message is obvious, I don’t know if the author intended the comic in the OP to have some shitty anti-LGBT message (though if he did he did a poor job of it, since I don’t see it); my interpretation of it is the one in my original comment (downvoted, I assume, by people with negative reading comprehension or idiots who think video games are actually harmful); as I said, when it comes to authors who turn out to be shitty people I think it’s better to ignore them and their intentions and appreciate the work for itself.
I mean, about 99% of people, including authors (in fact probably a higher percentage when it comes to authors), are horrible bastards, so if you can’t appreciate whatever good works they might have accidentally produced you’ll have a pretty thin selection to choose from.
Don’t support them and warn other people about their personal shittiness, sure, but don’t rip out your own eyes to avoid being offended.
Saying 99% of people are bastards seem like a self own. Most people are good and not bullies. It’s not about being offended, it’s about not engaging and lifting up shitty people.
Jago is a raging transphobe
Given how insanely scantily they draw women with overly dramatic proportions, I’m not remotely shocked.
Can you give a source, just so I know if I tell others
I learned it from this comment
Thanks, I saw that today as well

The comics aren’t even that good though.
It’s just CAD with boobs.
