Podcasts about sinfest

I am joined by author and artist Bitter Karella to discuss our mutual obsession with the bizarre political trajectory of the webcomic Sinfest, whose creator Tatsuya Ishida went from centrist liberal to second wave feminist to SWERF to TERF to outright Fascist in the span of a few years.~~~Bitter Karella LinksBitter Karella's BooksBitter Karella's TwitterMidnight Pals Podcast~~~Support Haus of Decline on Patreon!Visit hausofdecline.comNostalgia is fleeting,but @hausofdecline is foreverPlease email complaints, suggestions, or requests to hausofdecline@gmail.com  Thank you for listening.Explicit Content Warning.

Mike decided to do something very stupid and did a deep dive on Twitter into 22 years of the webcomic Sinfest by Tatsuya Ishida, the famous early 00s dude bro comic that did a hard turn into sex negative second wave feminism in 2011 and then a harder turn into TERF maga chud Q-anon anti-vax lunacy in 2019. But could Sinfest be saved? In this episode, we talk about the trajectory of the webcomic itself as well as our suggestions for how to mold this mess into something that might work as an animated holiday special.

Marriott-Backed Sinfest and Real Life Themyscira | Modhop #24 by Jake Redman

From the mental defect that brought you the SCUM Manifesto, it’s Sinfest, by Tatsuya Ishida! This comic–the paragon of ham-fisted preaching–has become notorious for its radical feminist soapboxes and nonsensical, contradictory sermons that border on self-parody. Also one of the most prolific webcomics on the ‘net, as it’s been around for all the years and has, like, a million strips. Some say it used to be good before the feminism tirades started, but Max and Cody pose the question; did it really?! Was Sinfest ever good?! And just how bad is it now, really? All that, plus Cody and Max get real once again as the madman’s doctrine that is this comic spurs on discussions about feminism, modern social justice movements, and just how severely the brain will play Devil’s Advocate if faced with ideological insanity!

There are some recurring types of strip, such as “You Had to Be There” (where the reader is not told what the characters are discussing), “Japanese Calligraphy” (where one of the characters transforms over four panels into a kanji ideograph, usually related to the strip in some way.), “Porn Script Readings” (where Monique and Slick read porn star dialogue in deadpan style, except for once where they used flash cards for a Silent Film reading) and “Ninja Theatre” (where the characters take on the roles of heroes and villains in a martial arts movie). Though there is little in the way of overarching story or continuity in Sinfest, the central characters do undergo some development.
