\\\"False flagged\\\"??? i watched the video and as far as i\\\'m concerned we must have very different definitions of \\\"reputable critics\\\". Of the reviews you linked, only the first makes any effort to understand the author\\\'s position. The BWW and the video review are stormfront tier bigoted garbage and i\\\'m kind of appalled you even thought the latter was worth linking.
My argument is not that the comic \\\'isn\\\'t supposed to be good\\\', but that it obviously isn\\\'t supposed to be a realist representation of childhood, a comedy, or a story. All 3 reviews make this assumption, and it just seems kind of daft to me since it\\\'s obvious reading it that each comic is clearly supposed to illustrate a different point (usually concerning cis privilege or transphobia).
Regardless. It was, perhaps, presumptuous of me to mention RomanticallyApocalyptic\\\'s visuals in the same breath as the lovingly hand-drawn {{Lackadaisy}}. That, i will concede. It still looks good to me, though, so i guess we just have different thresholds for what\\\'s passable art standards for a webcomic. i don\\\'t see how the art in Assigned Male is drastically worse than that of CAD or ElGoonishShive, neither of which is listed here.
Lastly, though, i\\\'m not saying Assigned Male is a great work of art, or that there aren\\\'t better comics out there that deal with trans themes. To bring this back to Central Avenue\\\'s point above, all else being equal, would this comic be considered SBIH in the absence of trans content, \\\'\\\'\\\'out of all the many, many mediocre webcomics out there\\\'\\\'\\\'? i seriously don\\\'t believe it would, and the fact that two of the 3 reviews you linked are mostly transphobic raving really hasn\\\'t changed that impression.
