So is there a webcomic thats so popular but you just don't understand why it's gotten so popular to begin with?
I have a few webcomics in mind that I don't understand how they're so popular and if anyone is curious about that then feel free to ask me on this thread as well!
I can think of a few SJW comics, but I'm not honestly sure if they are organically popular, or they are popular due to people loving to make fun of the authors.
Assigned Male?
Or that even worse one which is basically REEEE MEN SUCK with really shitty, gory art?

Don't go downvote it, we should leave the site be.
Just saw it and was astonished by the amount of upvotes.
In all honesty I don't think it's that bad. Whatever SJW themes are present are drowned out by the fact that the author focuses on the whole "meager and pointless" existence aspect of the story which makes it very dark and fun to read in my opinion.
SJW aspects are drowned out by the theme? I completely disagree with you.
Are you serious?
Unfortunately, yes. However I should have noted that I find the character design to be terrible. Everyone looks like Homestuck rejects.

And that is completely within your right to. Although after more reads I have to say that its dialogue feels very low-effort. I think that after reading SCP-2721 (which is the epitome of all things bad) I might be giving this one more credit than is due.
Add it to the list of reasons RPC Authority was created
Don't get me wrong, I think an SCP/RPC about a webcomic would have been a decent concept if executed really well. I just feel like this SCP is boring and it doesn't try anything special.
I completely agree. It feels like everyone is too afraid to give any negative feedback, just because it's "unique".
(Apparently some people believe SCP is "weird fiction" instead of horror. That is the mind-set that lead to the death of SCP.)
I seem to be lost but can you explain to me how?
(Apparently some people believe SCP is "weird fiction" instead of horror. That is the mind-set that lead to the death of SCP.)
I made that reply out of bitterness. My actual stance on this is a bit different.
In my opinion, "weird fiction" can be OK as long as they're well written and stay true to the Wiki's original ideologies. Plenty of good articles on both this and the SCP wiki aren't horror but rather strange pieces of literature. The problem comes in when people try to justify their bad stories by claiming that all it is is just "weird fiction" and that it's the thing that's "new" and "cool".
Frankly, it comes off as an excuse to slap everyone in the face with how LGBT everyone is, taking precedence over everything else. (For the record, I don't have a problem with GSM characters, but when they're present more than is statistically realistic, it gets both glaring and irritating. They're portrayed as paragons of humanity rather than just people.) It's like how, in math textbooks, about 3 out of 5 names are obviously foreign. Again, their presence isn't a problem, the prevalence, however, is pretty glaring. By no means do I intend to denigrate the achievements of womenanminorities, either, I simply believe they should be presented in context rather than as the context.
Weird fiction, as well, I don't have a problem with. The problem is that it's taken to mean "I can shove as much identity politics in this as possible. The anomalies are an afterthought." You can see this in entries like the trans satellite, as well as shit like celebrating the October Revolution and contest entries which boil down to AMERICA SUXXXXX!!!!! While political themes can be portrayed well, I think banning politics here is the right call. Reason being, I could just as easily see right-wing circlejerks and cringeworthy content forming.
You know what, screw it I'm gotta talk about the webcomics I don't understand why they're popular.
For Homestuck, I just find it boring.
For Ava's Demon, oh god, where do I even begin? This one has more of a complex reason but I'll try to keep it short. The "comic" (if you can even call it a "comic") has really bad pacing and I don't know if this is b/c of how it's formatted. The dialogue tries to be "clever" and "psychological" when really it just feels so over dramatic almost like a ninth grader acting from a Shakespearean play. The main character is supposed to be sympathetic at first but then after she kills people; she shows no real remorse for it. She says how it's like a "wild fantasy" which is something a psychopath or a sociopath would say.
But most of all, I don't understand how it's gotten so popular b/c of it's creator. I can't just brush this off. People have the right to know what they did because it's truly disgusting.

Apparently, Homestuck picks up later on. (I don't really care about the comic, it's just that it has an incredibly awful fanbase.)
I don't really care for the comic personally either. (Homestuck I mean.)
I enjoy Ava's Demon, but yea your right when you say that the main character is a complete psychopath. She literally burns hordes of people to death with lava and is not remorseful in the slightest.
It just annoys the crap out of me that characters like Ava get woobified by the fanbase while other characters who have justifiable reasons for not liking her get demonized all because Ava has depression and anxiety. I can understand having depression and anxiety but it's another thing when that same character burns hordes of innocent people let them be TITAN followers or not.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this even tho I would say Ava is more of a sociopath.
I used to be a fan of Ava's Demon but after all the things it's creator has pulled; I don't think I'll see their art or comic the same way again.
Heck, she even admits it HERSELF in the comic!
Since I have the attention span of an eight year old, could you give a TL;DR to me please?
Okay so, to summarize the best I can; it was found out that the creator of Ava's Demon opened a 18+ tier and her colorist was the one who drew these requests but the thing is that the porn that was being requested was porn of Ava and/or Maggie (who are both teenagers) in sexual situations with other characters in the comic who are adults. And it's still against the law technically.
When a ex-fan contacted the creator of Ava's Demon politely showing their disappointment and disgust towards the tier; the creator in response spread false info about said ex-fan and LITERALLY PUT A 500$ BOUNTY ON THEM JUST SO HER FANS CAN HAVE THAT EX-FAN'S IP ADDRESS. LIKE WTF. She also made the excuses like "Oh they were aged up!" despite the fact Maggie and Ava in those images like exactly the same. Like, they barely looked older. She made another excuse saying "Oh, it was my colorist who drew it! Not me! Don't like then don't look!" even though she was the one who opened the tier on Patreon to begin with.
Then after said creator was called out on this behavior; she used the victim card and claimed that the people who had justifiable reasons as to call her out as "abusers" without any legit proof of this.
The legality of loli and shota depends on where you live. Check local laws if this is a concern.
I believe doxing is morally wrong and it's particularly disgusting to encourage it simply because someone disagreed with you. People are irritating.
1) The creator lives in America and according to the laws in America; it's against the law to draw underage porn. It's still messed up either way really.
2) Yeah, I agree. It really is wrong and messed up. Keep in mind that the creator of the comic isn't really kind to criticism…to put it lightly.
