Because nobody actually reads it and just skims through the images.

That's the word! It's... itchy, somehow. Claustrophobic. Seven billion people are dead and the protagonist says "oh bummer" but everyone's eyes are wide and unblinking as of one screaming, endlessly.

Yeah, there's something kind of misanthropic about predictating your gee-whiz adventure fantasy on that without ever really addressing it. I don't really have any real view on Softies though, I've actually been able to skip it for the most part.

I find it mostly inoffensive but the main character not really being upset that the Earth blew up is a real hard pill to swallow. It looks like the author wanted to have a comfy comic and a backstory where nearly every human was dead and did not know how to square that circle, and it’s off putting.

The comic mostly reads like Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, just without any bite or actually funny jokes

I read ahead on Softies a bit before getting bored, and while it's not great you're actually jumping to conclusions about Kay's reaction to Earth's destruction. She's acting like it doesn't bother her and fixating on no one knowing about it as a coping mechanism and eventually the cracks begin to show.

I want to be clear that I don't hate just that comic. I can't stand anything vaguely CalArts-y, whether it's a moving drawing or not. It's not the fault of that comic that I'm an empty shell of a person who hates fun.

It's not just the art style for me, but the utter lack of competence in (visual) composition.

There is no way in a million years that I could get through that comic on my own power, but occasionally there's a good joke and it doesn't like really suck or anything so it works well in this thread where i'd never really read more than a few pages of it at once anyways.

Anyways, here is more of my garbage. If more people hate it then want it, I'll stop posting. timg'd to make it easier to scroll past.

You have roughly 24 hours to exile one webcomic from the thread. If a webcomic that you post gets exiled, don't worry, you can start posting any other webcomic regularly, or as one-offs. Please refrain from discussing in the thread what webcomic should be exiled, just vote.

If you think a regularly posted webcomic is not on the list, let me know, and I'll add it.

It's missing the "I don't really care I'm not a coward who doesn't dare use the ignore function" option, the only sane, adult option.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

It's amazing how many of these I didn't even know by name. I'm amazed the artists don't tag them with the name of the comic itself.

Edit: Removed this bit from my post because it talked about what I voted for.
