I'm not sure that this is entirely the right forum for discussing this, because I'm a newfag when it comes to le chans. But it's about webcomics and webcomic artists, so I figured this would be a cool place to talk about it.
Sean McGuinness is the dude in charge of Twisted Kaiju Theater, a webcomic that uses Godzilla and Japanese action figures. Recently, he's turned around and went into full SJW mode, against GamerGate and stuff. I used to be a big fan of his, but seeing his current arrogant attitude has turned me away. He has a real ego like a lot of webcomic artists. But that's not the whole point. My point here is to kinda shed some light on some of his behavior.
Recently, he made a series of pictures where he expressed disappointment at people saying "Gozira" in a stereotypical Japanese accent. He criticized these people and called them racist, telling them they should be less offensive. But the webcomic and the humor itself makes it seem kinda hypocritical for him to lecture people on racism.
He's made many racist jokes about Muslims and Asians, but the biggest one to me were his black jokes. In his comic, he has a character named Space Hojo who is supposed to represent his black roommate/co-writer. As far as whether he exists or not, I cannot say. But what he made the character say feels kinda jarring to me. I'm not sure how to feel.
It just feels, to me, kinda hypocritical for him to make those types of jokes but them condemn others for making racist jokes. Maybe I'm looking at this wrong or something. What do you guys think?
