1* {{Anvilicious}}:
2** While the comic raises some points about The Federation, it does get grating after a while and seems to offer absolutely no points showing the good things that they do, making them a strawman to beat upon.
3** The "government bad" theme in the ''Coldest Equations'' arc.
4** The genocidal culture that gets nuked in the Kallifrax arc is a pretty obvious {{Expy}} [[StrawmanPolitical of Iran]].
5** Much more debatable is the economics that form the core of the arc; its detractors scoff that economics theories that have been used for decades could lead to societal collapse, while its proponents see it as a good summary of the malicious intent behind RidiculousFutureInflation - they find it kind of scary when [[http://www.rhjunior.com/quentyn-quinn-space-ranger-8/ a first-world nation's currency loses 95% of its face value in under a century]]. It's worth noting that most economic theories consider some amount of inflation to be healthy (2% per year is a common number), and 100 years is actually a long time for that to compound.
6* BrokenBase: On TakeThat to ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' with one side claiming it as ShallowParody due to the comic's ignorance on the [[TheEmpire Imperium Of Man]] being NecessarilyEvil in its xenophobia in a galaxy full of hostile aliens while other claiming that as TakeThat to the franchise's TooBleakStoppedCaring of its ridiculously bleak tone along with fans' ignorance on Imperium's worse aspects. Ralph Hayes seemed to agree, as he killed the arc FAST.
7* MoralEventHorizon: Whatever the ambassadors did, [[InUniverse the Confidantine considers it]] [[ThisIsUnforgivable unforgivable]] enough to [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness stretch her oath]] [[TheOathBreaker of secrecy]]), and it appears [[http://www.rhjunior.com/quentyn-quinn-space-ranger-0096/ Quentyn agrees]].
8* NightmareFuel: The AndIMustScream fate of the [[http://www.rhjunior.com/QQSR/00091.html neural templates]].
