      I’ll give it a shot based on wrestling with this issue a lot across 500+ comics posts:

      1. Just in general, I don’t think this comic is a good fit here for a number of reasons.
      2. Specifically, most comics shared here are ‘quick-hitters’ that can occupy a single window. Those cater to both mobile users as well as casual browsers, both of which describe the majority here, I believe.
      3. Usually there’s a funny or interesting point being made, and users feed off that to get their little rush of feelings and/or a sense of something interesting… possibly something interesting to think about for a while.
      4. Ambiguous comics or things that don’t fit in to the square box of preconceived notions can actually upset people, or at least cause them the irritation to downvote.
      5. I find this comic to be quality work, but also on the experiential or almost meditative side. I think it would be better appreciated on a sublemmy devoted to such, or on a tennis community.

      There’s also just the plain fact that readers, scrollers and voters can get addicted to the casual scrolling process, and when they feel their time is being drawn away from that process, can be impolite assholes about it. In terms of voting, anyway. And/or they’re saying “I don’t appreciate this type of content and I don’t want to see it here again.”

      Hope that helps!

        well for one it’s quite hard to read in this tiny format. I had to zoom into my page and then scroll down to read it.

        but moreover, I don’t really understand what it’s trying to say? Red hair bad? Or, people who say “red hair bad” are bad? And why are there a load of generic pictures of people playing tennis after the captions - is it supposed to just be a nice drawing? That’s not really what people expect from a “comic strip” I guess. The last frame features a girl with red hair which I presume is supposed to be significant somehow. Is it trying to say that people accept girls with red hair but don’t accept guys with red hair? It’s not really clear, and in general it just doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.

          Sorry to say this, but your whole thinking is nuts! Why would it say red hair is bad? As I said in my tittle, its “Wimbledon”, a tennis Grand Slam.
          Why people thing the bad stuff always?
          edit: i didnt have to zoom me in my phone using voyager.

            I mean you wanted an explanation, so I provided my perspective. If you’re gonna downvote me for providing neutral feedback then I shouldn’t bother lol.

            “Why do people always misinterpret my work” -> well then your work should be clearer and not confuse people. there’s some feedback for you.

    is this an excerpt from a manga or something? i feel like there’s context missing.

    what did the red haired guy do?
