A little continuation from the original author that got lost in translation, mostly to go further in depth...
If this had been a story about perhaps, genuinely good decent people doing horrible things in the belief that it's for a greater good, that could've been a very interesting idea worth looking at, something alternate rewrites and spinoffs like "Bealtaine" and "(Un)lucky" have proven, but that's not what this comic is. There is no point to it, no rhyme or reason. I wouldn't mind the lack of plot, but whenever it tries to have a plot (like the so-called "political atmosphere"), it's just comes off as pretentious, heavy handed, and a bunch of desperate attempts at trying to be more than it really is.
Sure there have been sicker, more fucked up things out there, but this actually managed to destroy a huge chunk of my faith in this fandom as a whole, largely due to the reception its gotten on the Kink Meme in general. Yes, that's right, I can't even look at a fandom I used to enjoy and love being a part of the same way anymore without thinking of this exploitive, badly written TRASH.
I am not even joking. Unless you're a sicko that gets off on Gratuitous Rape and Character Derailment of the highest order, don't even look at this. Your stomach and sanity will thank you.

(WARNING: Author Tract here and VERY strongly worded negative opinions) Count me out as well. Like The Nostalgia Critic himself said in his review of the visually interesting but iffy storywise movie The Cell, if you're going to make something hardcore and risqué, you better do it right and have a good reason for it. I never got that from this comic. There is no arc to these characters; not one single person we see has any discernable motive or reasonable justification for their horrific actions. We might as well give them black cloaks and mustaches for good measure. The two hurt most of all are America (obviously) and to a different extent, England (Good God in Heaven, how the Ron The Death Eater treatment really destroys him). This actually goes beyond plain old shock value and into something that is just vile. I've personally never felt so sorry in my life to have spent my time and energy reading something so atrocious. Sure I didn't pay a penny for this, but I still feel ripped off. This comic blows and I have to be reminded of it all the time.
