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.
