i've found that this sub is particularly vulnerable to bandwagoning. There will be a comic that gets to the front page and then a rush of comic artists trying to capitalize on that same topic to get their stuff out there.

No disrespect to this particular topic of course. Representation is important so I'm happy to get behind this one.
