A fair number of transformation comics seemed less concerned with exploring gender identity and more concerned with getting off on the idea of non-consensual transformation.

All the ones I remember seem like they're still plugging away. The Wotch, SGVY, Misfile looks the same as ever, although from the look of it, maybe it's set to do a finale or something. It's disappointing to come back to something after so long and see so little's changed. One of the fun parts of reading through a webcomic is seeing things change and develop over time. EGS has at least managed to have some kind of development in the last few years, even though I'm not caught up on it. Technically Zebra Girl was in that same theme of transformation webcomic, and it managed to both change and come to a conclusion. Dang, apparently No Need For Bushido ended just a few months ago. And Freefall spent a couple weeks setting up a Three Stooges joke.

Now people who would have drawn a comic with heavy fetishist subtext are just drawing port with the fetishes front-and-center. Generally speaking the culture of the internet has become more open about sexuality and kinks and there's less of a need to hide behind a paper-thin pretext of legitimate storytelling and instead you can just open up a patreon for folks who want to pay you to draw them turning into a squirrel with dicks for eyes.

It's a little amazing he hasn't progressed artistically just by the fact he's been drawing for years. I see he's also still got that problem of drawing people in complete profile (which admittedly a lot of webcomic artists have). I wonder if the folks would have been making gender-bender webcomics instead just have Patreon now and cut out the middle man of actually trying to comic.

Misfile's artist is one of those people that settled into a groove and has never really progressed out of it, more or less like Deegan but with a more kind of rapid-production manga look than whatever the gently caress Deegan is. Misfile has never shown any inclination to change or develop, just perfect churning out that same look with more regularity and efficiency. It's a demonstration of the fact that simply doing something over and over doesn't inherently make you better at it, it just trains you to do that thing consistently, so drawing for ten years won't make you a good artist unless you actually strive to critique and improve your work in that time. I seem to recall that Misfile's artist was actually pretty good with drawing cars but then it kind of gave up being a racing comic in favor of it's weird cosmology. Edit: It's kind of amusing to see artists lock in like this when even Rich Burlew has managed to develop goofy stick-figure art in a number of ways over the years.

nankeen posted:i was thinking about this the other day lol Who in the hell has been poo poo talking Pierce? I will fight them. Like, the books aren't perfect but... they're very good and deserve support. They're also surprisingly intense, looking back. (My favorites were definitely the Circle of Magic series and Protector of the Small, followed closely by Wild Magic.) I once got to have lunch with Pierce as part of a college convention I was volunteering at, she was very chill and quite interesting to chat with. E: the Circle Opens quartet is basically 'magical teenagers vs. magical serial killers' as a general framework for talking about these characters being thrust into dealing with the wider world. Romantic Fantasy didn't mean it couldn't involve jaw-dropping violence at times. Joe Slowboat fucked around with this message at 15:18 on Aug 2, 2019 |

The weirdest thing about Misfile to me remains that the dude somehow managed to have a succesful kickstarter to film a live action adaptation of the comic. Not only did people pay for it, but he actually managed to cast and film it and get the whole thing done. I mean, from the trailer it looks as bad as you might expect, but it's still pretty amazing that it actually happened.

Haha I didn't even realize it was a Three Stooges thing. Partly cause they're not as big a thing in Europe, partly because it goes so slow I just didn't notice it.

Tamora is still putting out diverse YA books, and has done some more sequels to the Circle of Magic series. She's not on social media enough to have said anything cancel-worthy, as far as I know. The White Tiger miniseries she did for Marvel a number of years back wasn't great but it wasn't remarkable either. I was kind of weirded out by the end of the Wild Magic series where Daine fell in love with her teacher (being about the same age as that character when I read it  ) but Robin McKinley is way worse and more pervasive with that crap.Maybe Avs is mixing her up with Mercedes Lackey and the weird hill she decided to die on about trans chracters in her books? Or the Anne McCaffrey gay tentpole rape incident?

I wasn't aware of the Mercedes Lackey thing, and am now morbidly curious (I read the Black Griffon trilogy and her ancient egyptian-ish dragon rider books, and something about evil elves who rule a parallel universe where they almost made dragons extinct, but that's about it? I never really got into Valdemar.) Now I need to check out Circle of Magic if it's gone past Will of the Empress, because I can always use more domestic fantasy and serial killers in a vaguely Mediterranean setting imo.

fritz posted:I don't know but I bet it's younger dudes getting mad about media not targeted at them. Frankly, as a dude who read that while young, they're idiots. I realize I'm not, like, the core audience for Circle of Magic, but those books are both extremely charming and have some awesome magical violence interspersed with learning how to trim magical bonsai trees and characters finding out they have super cool blacksmith powers. And the bookish nerd gets to be a weather-based WMD! e: obviously the action sequences are not the main point of the books, but honestly Tamora Pierce's YA books don't lack in terms of heroic wizard battles, so it's bewildering to me that the average young dude who wants fighty stories would be put off by them.
