He stated repeatedly that Joyce's life is autobiographical for himself. He didn't have to do research, he LIVED it.I actually really liked Shortpacked! and the creator's other comics, but I've sadly decided to stop reading them as he passive aggressively inserts his political opinions into strawman characters on a basis waaay too regular for me to really forgive, and it pisses me off. Long drawn out explanation/rant hoooooo!
I could forgive the overt feminist messages because they did have some validity to the message even if the way he presented them was retarded and fallacious, attacking the wrong key figures and presenting the argument in the most ignorant way possible a few times...
But then his depiction of Christianity comes in, he puts in all the most extreme stereotypes of christian faith into play, with themes originating from crackpot churches of varying kinds that are typically outside of the main stream of faith in general, or exaggerated hyperbole of mainstream faith, all combined into one "Super Stereotype" of Christian faith, failing to accommodate even one relatable Christian character who might have even the slightest semblance of intellect or reasoning ability. He misrepresents a lot of what actual religious people stand for and their ethics and morals in order to further vilify the cult-like extensions of Christianity in the more unusual churches that exist on the outer lines of faith, representing them as the norm of religion when it is in fact the minority. A good Christian or somebody with half a brain who attends bible-study does not harass lesbians or gays, the bible condemns this behavior outright repeatedly even if there is one part of the bible that condemns homosexuality as an abomination, and the validity of any part of the bible can be called into question because of repeated mistranslation and intentional censoring and editing on the part of the catholic church and pagan influence ANYWAYS. One should focus on the positive message and try to avoid what you can honestly say has a negative consequence and feels to you like a sin or wrong-doing, the entire basis of Christianity is to lead by example and forgive wrong-doing, not condemn people FOR FUCKS SAKES. How can you not account for some of the primary messages of the religion when you are showing their worst examples of extremism in such an obviously biased manner? HOW?!
What the fuck is wrong with you dude, did you do like no research or did your entire family get harassed by extremist Christians? Or are you doing what I think you're doing and using every single example of an extremist Christian to vilify religion? Extremists exist in every single facet of life religious or not, to paint religion as the definitive cause just because it's what they base their reasoning on is just as stupid as vilifying all of feminism because of what those stupid bitches who derailed the comet landing did. Dumb fallacious reasoning that I cannot stand for, I refuse to read anything more from an ignorant dickbag, no matter how engaging your lesbian romance sub-plots get.
Good for him. Too many webcomics keep going long after the quality has started to decline.Dr. McNinja, one of the true veterans of the webcomic scene, has announced it's coming to an end.

Yeah, I just binged through it in the course of an hour or so. I like it. Very few of the concepts are exactly fresh, but it's presented in a cute and funny way, so it's an enjoyable read.I know right? Such a weird concept for me. Haha. I read pretty much the whole thing so far over a day or 2. It's really cool.

Also Hank all wolfed-out is overwhelmingly adorable.
Up to you. The main protagonist is actually a werewolf if that makes a difference. I find her very relatable.Never been particularly fond of Vampire-protagonists as they seem to kinda miss the point, but to each their own.
That always sucks: when you've been on an intense archive-binge and it just suddenly stops up. Only thing that's worse is when you get up to date and realize that the webcomic has been discontinued, or that it's discontinued shortly after.On the other hand that's a problem I have with most webcomics.
