My experience reading the Sinfest comic taught me that people start out as feminists (believe in the equality of the sexes) then turn to radical feminists (believe that women are superior to men), which causes them to see Trans women as men realizing the truth and trying to stay in the superior sex, and trans men as women being tricked by doctors (terfs).
This leads to both demonization of sex work (swerfs) and distrust in doctors in general (anti-vax), and finally leading to the distrust in all science and fact and full blown narcissim.
You have wildly misunderstood what TERFs are. They’re buddies with anti-abortion activists. Politically they are aligned in interests with misogynists. They believe that gender is innate and unchangeable, which is the same thing that misogynists think. They believe that women are and will always be subjugated by men because men are biologically inclined towards rape and are categorically stronger than every single woman. They dont actually seek to change this in any material way. They just dont want to have to be around people they consider disgusting. They want to be upheld by white men the way they were in the 40s. There’s a reason TERFs skew middle class and white.
Fun fact that during the build up to world war 2 a mass exodus of former suffragettes to the side of fascism took place in Britain. Even though fascists wanted to take their right to vote away again. The fascists upheld white British women as the pinnacle of femininity, and upheld them as an ideal in their state of subjugation. This presented a position of privilege over other women. It afforded them status and protection that being a political radical did not.
Not necessarily directly related to TERFs, just wanted to point out that if incentives exist to become a misogynist then some women will take the incentive.
Setting aside the content, the art style on Sinfest changed so much. I read some of the early stuff, and every time I glance at it, it seems like the art style’s significantly different. Not like, say, Peanuts or some other long-running comic strips.
Twokinds is like this. The artist cheated and redid a bunch of his first pages, but even the redone ones are a bit crunchy. The originals are very…early art. The new stuff is insanely detailed. One time he spent 8+ hours drawing a house. The story also evolved a lot too, from his teenage years experiencing racism to his adult life over 20 years or so.

I have to ask because someone posted actual comics below and the topic seems unrelated:
Is it a change in the comic author or the content of the comics that taught you this?
