      People downvoting these comics do not want to platform the comic author, who has expressed misogynistic and transphobic views, among others.

        Have you actually witnessed an expression of such views? You see, in too many cases such accusations come from people who just saw themselves in the picture and didn’t like it. Extremely exaggerated and stretched accusations. Like the comics has a woman character who is doing something dumb and that of course means that the author is misogynistic.

        The amount of downvotes make me feel like it is some performance, not just random expression of people’s opinion.

        Something strange is happening.

          Yes, I have. Credit to Lime! for putting this sampler together, I’m just pasting here for reference:

          this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this

          If you do not have an issue with those views, by all means vote the way you feel. However it should not be that surprising that they are unpopular views in this day and age, especially on a mostly left leaning service. The downvotes are not a “performance”.

      Thank you. It appears to be a vocal group of people who mostly never contribute any comic strips but they just love creating a drama.
