I just took a look at sinfest after not reading it in several years. I read back a few days in the archive and I liked it. The style has gotten cuter.

Could you explain what you don't like about it?



Tatsuya is taking a stand against the Patriarchy. He will defeat it with his stomach.[1] Beginning around October, 2011, though with antecedents.

The patriarchy objects, as a patiriarchy does.

People read sinfest for the humor. You can call it offensive or destructive humor, but it was humor nonetheless.

Then the comic switched away from humor to being moral lecturing.

It's not the same audience, so naturally you'll lose most of the old readership, and have to acquire your entirely new audience.


Today's comic is a joke. Maybe you don't get it?


Yes, that must be it. eyeroll

It's not so much a joke as screaming an on-the-nose message.


Decent summary here:

Tldr, he took the soul out of the comic and the characters to push an agenda, and devoted cycles to mocking his fans instead of keeping up the wholesome stuff.

This is like the one case where that isn't an exaggeration.
