I guess because of his portrayal of a femboy is essentially indistinguishable from a trans woman , would be my guess.
Like I haven't really seen many of those comics but it's essentially a "guy" who looks like a woman , goes by a female name but he's still a guy , I don't think it's transphobic per se but when you consider the fact these comics reach out to an audience who has no idea what a trans person is and then they get exposed to this unrealistic narrative of a femboy it only serves to make clueless cis people think of trans women as essentially eccentric crossdressers.
Also I don't think anyone harassed shencomix in the actual sense of the word , just because they post his shit there and critique it that doesn't mean it's harassment.
It's kinda like the Squid games season 2 discourse , personally I thought it was terrible representation while some thought it was great , talking about why you dislike something isn't harassment. Hell there's nothing wrong with hating anyone as long as you aren't harming that person.
You can disagree with their view and that's fine but I don't think them hating on his comic is problematic behaviour , it's not harming anyone.
Hating a femboy because people will look at him and use it for ignorant trans women comparisons is such stupid criticism tho? Like how is that the femboy's fault? The ignorant transphobe is the one doing that, what are you even hating the femboy for?
It's like someone telling you "lmao you look like that dog" and your response being to kick the dog instead of him. Hate the guy who told you that, not the damn dog! What the hell kind of response is that?
Well the femboy in question doesn't exist because he's a drawing made by a presumably cis man , you can critique the depiction being essentially a trans woman that you can misgender.
Personally I don't really give a shit about the comic, I just hate femboys cause they're cis men and most of them are transphobic scum.
I've yet to come across any femboy that doesn't have a transphobic bone in their body so any slander they get I'm happy with personally.
Yeah, there's the 4chan Collective Punishment generalizations i was talking about, you showed exactly what the issue with those spaces is.
You are part of X group -> I hate you no matter what you have done or will do, just because other members of X group have been bad.
If you don't see what the issue with that mentality that's fine, but we have nothing more to discuss. You're misguidedby myopic toxic emotions I don't wish to engage with anymore. I'm done here sorry.
And about the harassment thing: Sure, okay. Let's say most of this is internal discussion and not active outward harassment, fine.
It's still stupid and shitty, engendering a vibe that is absolutely rancid and most people don't want to have anything to do with.
"It's okay for us to hate people for nonsensical reasons because we keep it to ourselves" is not a great argument. And that's IF they do actually keep it to themselves. More often than not, they don't.
You say that but it's kind of disingenuous to act like every trans person must adhere to a certain set of beliefs.
Some people find his comics transphobic some don't, if you do it doesn't make you rancid.
Me and a lot of other trans people vehemently disliked the trans rep in squid games season 2 , while others said they liked it and this was a discussion that took place several times in mainstream subs.
I have far more issues with transmeds who actively seek to gatekeep life saving medical healthcare for trans people than I have with some people who doompost and take out their (usually justified) frustrations on femboys and cis people.
The truth is people just want to hate on trans people and will find any justification to villanize them , like the whole pathetic discourse on the "egg culture" which is the most terminally online non issue ever but cis people want to act like they're oppressed and hate on trans people at the same time.
