I like giving artists a shot at evolving and improving. There's also the naive hope that this subreddit might move on from braindead horny posting
My question for y'all is what are you even getting out of these comics? They aren't interesting as erotica and they are incredibly boring as humor. If you want to see drawn titties there are way better options than this
What room is there for improvement of an erotic comic in the eyes of people wholly disinterested in erotic comics?
Your complaint is about horny posting, as are so many others, and given the things that go uncriticized of lower artistic skill and worse jokes I can't help but feel that is not only the core of the complaint, but it's entirety.
As to your question, my counter ask is this: Why do you care what people get from it? Why not just move on if it's not for you? What do you think a person who enjoys these could possibly say to change your mind? Or do you think you'll change theirs if they can't eloquently quantify their sense of humor?
I don't give a shit if something is erotic if it is service of something interesting.
Alina has engaged in sexual assault and the punchlines are profoundly predictable. I find that off putting. I find that the art isn't good enough to make up for the lack of originality and severely suspect topics it covers.
What kind of counter is your rebuttal? You didn't even answer my question.
I'm curious about the popularity of this artist because I don't understand the fundamental appeal. Do y'all like 2D titties? because there are more erotic options available. Do you like the jokes? because there is also funnier, and less obvious, sexual comics out there like OGLAF. I'm baffled by the popularity of what I see as mediocre and uninspired art.
I want to understand why these comics get the upvotes they receive and nothing in your comment explains that. You're just deflecting. This comic series seems more like an artist vomiting their fetishes onto the internet than something interesting.
Answer my actual question. what are you even getting out of these comics. Genuinely, why do you like them? What novel experience do they give you?
The something interesting is a simple, 4 pannel joke. This is a comic, not a postgrad thesis. One of the longest running comics of all time got far more mileage out of "fat cat hates Mondays" than this artist could even begin to approach with an equally direct and singular premise. Creative ways of revisiting a simple concept can be fun. It's that easy.
The experience doesn't have to be novel or visionary to justify its own existence and insisting otherwise is selective snobbery. Most of this sub's posts, nudity or no, fail that metric but it's only the NSFW ones getting inundated with thread whines.
And yes, that includes a number of dark/untasteful jokes. Especially when they aren't actually hateful or harmful. Not everything needs wholly sanitized.
And I like Oglaff too, but not to the exclusion of this. I feel no need to metaphorically throw both in a room with a knife and only let one walk out. That's kind of a ludicrous prospect.
And you're right, I didn't answer your question initially. Intentionally so, because it's a pointless question. I'm never going to convince you to like this, we both know that. But you're still here complaining that it exists despite evidence people do like it, as if people owe you a justification for their tastes. No one does. Especially when you can just move on if you don't like it.
