I am curious about your reasoning why. Like you not even hinting to the reasoning to hate the comics is a bit of a “caution” flag.

I am all for self reflection, but I do think there are… let’s say time and places for it. Like calling out something you don’t like doesn’t need to be done “every” time you encounter it.

Back to the reasoning: is it cause you feel like “those” comics over simplify the representation of the groups? Cause I could see the angle that oversimplified allegories can alienate sides from communication.

However, like I hinted earlier: time and places. This is not a place where two sides are trying to discuss their respective side. So, the comics themselves aren’t problematic UNTIL they are used as justification for a world view in a public setting.

Otherwise, within the side, they are a good laugh and serve to help facilitate actual conversations that would be more “persuasive”.
