YMMV / Quentyn Quinn, Space Ranger

• Anvilicious:
  • 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.
  • The "government bad" theme in the Coldest Equations arc.
  • The genocidal culture that gets nuked in the Kallifrax arc is a pretty obvious Expy of Iran.
  • 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 Ridiculous Future Inflation - they find it kind of scary when 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.
• Broken Base: On Take That! to Warhammer 40,000 with one side claiming it as Shallow Parody due to the comic's ignorance on the Imperium Of Man being Necessarily Evil in its xenophobia in a galaxy full of hostile aliens while other claiming that as Take That! to the franchise's Too Bleak, Stopped Caring 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.
• Moral Event Horizon: Whatever the ambassadors did, the Confidantine considers it unforgivable enough to stretch her oath of secrecy), and it appears Quentyn agrees.
• Nightmare Fuel: The And I Must Scream fate of the neural templates.
