\\\"And it\\\'s frustrating that the feminist movement presented in the Sinfest universe, however justified it might be, is presented as unfailingly right in their methods and heroes against the establishment when everyone else in the comic is at least occasionally presented as being clumsy in their respective schticks.\\\"
Thus we have major reason #3 why Glossy and the Sisterhood arc are so widely hated. The Sisterhood displays MarySue tendencies, and this is me trying to be objective when looking for the red flags.
As to my knowledge, Big D has been depicted as a dark lord manipulating things behind the shadows as early as 2008, mainly in the form of organized crime and corrupt corporate/banking cartels. Back then, he was still depicted as evil but still capable of producing lulz from the audience. That changed sometime around the Sisterhood arc IIRC. This goes back to my point about the humor. This arc brings about such a positively VICIOUS change in tone that for many its hard to recognize the comic anymore. This arc would have been a more tolerable pill to swallow if it was sweetened with a dash of humor at the expense of that which needs to change in society. There\\\'s a saying that goes \\\"Laughter is the best form of medicine.\\\"
Glossy taking the heat for the changes is NOT due to anti-feminism. In fact, hating a character for being the herald/harbinger of unpleasent, alienating things is more common than one would think. Using an example from the video game industry, we have [[{{SonicTheHedgehog}} Silver]]. Asides from looking like a badly done fan character with an absurd concept, Silver receives A LOT of flak as the result of his first role being the SoBadItsHorrible Sonic 2006. As a result, he is seen as the herald/face/harbinger of something so bad that it [[{{FranchiseKiller}} nearly killed the franchise]]. Also, the less said about Elmyra and her being the herald to the demise of PinkyAndTheBrain, the better.
