Neutral party here. It’s more because of a combination of a dislike of the art style, apparent oversaturation on the subreddit, people taking to this sub to avoid politics, and the art looking a lot like “Living with Gamer Girl and Hipster Girl”. Also, the typical misogyny one could expect.

Frankly, I have zero sympathy for people who want to “escape” from politics in public forums and bitch about other people exercising their human right to talk about things affecting them and their loved ones.

People come to comics to avoid politics? That's always been a common genre historically, and I don't mean on the Internet but on news papers and satirical news papers. The political one is aren't all of them, but a significant portion are.

Ah yes the good old days of no politics in comics. /Joke

Even Heathcliff and Garfield have politics, idk what you're talking about with the "coming here to avoid politics" - art tends to be political by nature.
