Redwall is probably the worst popular children's media setting for "evil races are just bad and monsters and not worth talking to, yes all of them, no exceptions"

I think there was one book where like a weasel or a stoat or something was raised by mice and rabbits or whatever, and the theme of the book was "can he resist his evil genetics and rise above his bestial nature", and that was the most nuance Jacques even attempted
the adoptive mother named the abandoned ferret "Veil" to see if "evil" would "live" in him lmao (Brian Jacques: super into anagrams) then at the end Veil jumps in front of a javelin or something to save her then died in her arms after being otherwise 100% a piece of poo poo the whole way through the book so it's impossible to tell if :biotruths: is good or bad

I legit love this guy's style and it's hilarious when you realize he just has the opinions of a 65-year-old Fox News addict. You initially think he's gonna go for something edgier but then it's just something milquetoast like "democrats are the real racists" or something. His poo poo gets a lot funnier when you realize how few of his comics are meant to be funny, like I legit think he tries to go for genuine horror sometimes but it's based in the silliest boomer-brained anxieties

The guy also is working on a regular comic series too and I wonder if it's all edgelord political like these ones are.

He's obviously tapping into a very specific demographic and judging by his tweets he's not just doing them ironically.

The one with Biden as a litch sustaining his neliberal powers by sniffing the essence out of children was kind of funny, too. Also didnt know what the guy was about at that point as well.

It's not even 65-year-old Fox News aggrievement, it's 15-year-old boy whining about how girls are icky and gross and messing up AD&D. But he's not even putting in the usual complaint that he's forced to play with her because she's dating the DM, so he just comes off as a little bitch who can't bring himself to stop playing games with someone who is supposedly ruining it for everyone.

They're doing bad stuff with all the money you want them to have? They're beyond the reach of the securities laws you don't want to exist?

Or that it's turning her into a real no-poo poo wizard with demonic wizard powers.

It's hard to tell whether he has those opinions or if he's just grifting off the pathetic reddit gamer set. Like when Milo Yianappo-whatever started out pandering to cranky olds with articles about how video games are turning America's young men into fat weak losers lost in a fantasy world, and then realized that white nerds with the disposable income for sweet gaming rigs were a gold mine waiting for anyone willing to pander to their insecurities about games existing that don't cater solely to them. And boy did he succeed for a while at turning their rage into $500 sushi boats and $1000 bottles of champagne
