They're incredibly low-effort and get way more attention than other comics that give a shit.
>>
Owlturd is the only one I don't like since his comics are just the same low effort drawing and jokes over and over.

Everyone else I simply don't care or very mildly enjoy.

I wish we get more cynical but "honest" comics. Most of them have shades of self-loathing but it's mostly shit like "lol I'm so weird and introverted" and rarely go into their genuinely awful parts of their own selves. I want more webcomics to be like "It's Not My Fault I'm Not Popular" or "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" where the author is unapolagetically brutal and honest of their own vices. That one military comic I feel does it right.

>>92448813
I don't hate them. I guess the whole relatable, socially awkward, childish adult,"dude depression lmao" schtick is a dime a dozen these days. To me, it reeks of minimal effort, as it appeals to the lowest common denominator and people flock to it because "relatable = good".

I don't care if people like it, I just hate to see mediocrity go so rewarded.

theyre very boring. Reading one where the joke goes "i have a cat.. and it cuddles me.. Until i pet it!" is just not actually humor. Its obvious extremely common things that are meant to be relatable, and sure they are, but theres just no humor in it.

Some people are just mildly annoyed that they're kind of repetitive and predictable. That's fine. They'd probably feel the same way about most newspaper comics if they were back in the days when people actually read the newspaper.

The people who get legit mad at them are just jealous. They get mad because of all the praise, attention and even money these people get for something that "anyone can do" (even though the people complaining will never, ever do it despite it being so easy according to them).

It's not a coincidence that people criticize these comics for all being exactly the same and then turn around and create and/or jerk off to the dozens of ironic parodies like pic related that are all exactly the same as all the other ironic parodies of this type of content.

Owlturd comics just suck. The art style and content are what I'd expect in some cutesy ad for some depression medication.

They are nice once in awhile to get validation that somtimes life sucks, and we all get anxiety at times and have to deal with bad shit.

But making an entire industry out of it seems weird to me. Like you can overload on the validation those comics provide, like a comfy heavy blanket. Rather then trying to get over them.

Sort of like when shit happens, you want a bit of pity from others to cheer up but then when you keep trotting it out every week exception the same praise and esteem boost.

I dislike them because they seem to come off as comics of people complaining about life when they really have nothing to complain about/ You always see these authors as these relatively wealthy, city dwelling young kids with inner circles of friends they go out with, while they dont seem to have any health issues, they dont seem to really have any issues at all. For all intents and purposes, they seem like happy people.

Which means the content they produce comes off as very high class and whiny. Very little perspective and no conflict to speak of, its like chitchat you have with a friend, not a comic you expect to entertain you, theres no art thats pretty for you to admire, theres nothing compelling in it. Like, you know why people like rap music? Because its compelling to hear someone talk about actual literal problems in their life like poverty.

Its not really their fault they're uninteresting. They're civilized, people living in nice countries who have done nothing wrong, but they're just not compelling. Someone who does something with their life or comes from a background where many, usually bad, things have happened to them, just have more to say, theres more to say from failure and adversity than from mediocre success. There used to be a common ground of adversity when more americans werent quite as well off. How else do you think we got cartoons out of the fucking great depression?

But the bar of entry has actually kind of made it so that these well off artists connect with eachother and become the face of internet art while people with problems have to deal with problems that have only gotten worse for them and distract from stuff like art.

It can't be helped. People who havent suffered cannot produce something inherently about different kinds of suffering and how characters deal with it, let alone redeem from it.

Okay, you're just being unfair. Rants like yours are a bit cliche to begin with.

I don't think the authors are really acting like the things are big problems, and if they did have something big, it wouldn't be depicted. These are wacky slice-of-life comics about the little things which give you unnecessary difficulty largely at fault of your own. So they don't show poverty or sex-work or drug-addiction? So what?

And quit it with the "shut up stop complaining" shtick, I personally think it's totally fair to complain about how getting a job or making food for yourself or making friends is just a little bit more difficult when you're mentally-ill, or even, just, sheltered. Again, nobody thinks this is the worst thing ever to happen.

I don't "hate" them, mostly because there's nothing to hate. They're all pretty much zero substance comics. You read one Owlturd comic, you've read them all. He uses the same jokes and metaphors every single comic, and the other comics in the OP aren't much better. You can only read about people bitching about their little problems so many times.
>>
>>92448813
I don't hate them either, but I don't go looking for them or putting them on my watchlist, except for Octopus Pie if that counts.
Evidently some people care a lot about why they are popular with some, but to me it's just a genre, like superhero comics, which I don't prefer, but also don't hate.
One I do like is transgirlnextdoor even though it isn't relatable at all - it's just interesting, pic related.

My theory is that it's mainly ultra salty failed artists. They see other people get e-fame and possibly money off simple, "easy", relatable comics, they think that they could do that, in fact their art is better, and they're angry that this other person gets attention and they don't.

Even though most of the time they never bothered to put in the work to come up with relatable ideas and a steady output enough to create a name - it's about the potential. They COULD, in theory, have done the same, but didn't, this other person did instead. They could have been the person whose stuff everyone is reblogging, but aren't due to never putting in the effort to realize their hopes.

So, the hate is intense because they hate their own shortcomings via the comfy comics

>I don't care if people like it, I just hate to see mediocrity go so rewarded.
This is a self-contradicting statement.

People like it even if it's mediocre because they relate to it. Perhaps people are mediocre, then. In any case the creator had correctly interpreted something about being human so much that people like the output. Good for them.

In general, I really don't get retards crying about how it's supposedly unfair that stuff they think is good doesn't get the attention it "deserves". Life isn't fair, children, and attention or fame isn't a reward for sheer effort, it's much more accidental than that. If you look at best sellers or the biggest successes in almost any medium that should be fucking obvious to you.

Imo everyone whining about lowbrow shit being popular somehow being the fault of the person providing the content the audience wants, and not the general audience for being simple, is a moron

>>92456957
>Imo everyone whining about lowbrow shit being popular somehow being the fault of the person providing the content the audience wants, and not the general audience for being simple, is a moron
Certainly not bigger morons than the people that make up that general audience, at least.
>>
>>92458162
>Certainly not bigger morons than the people that make up that general audience

No the whiners are definitely bigger morons, save for the members of the general audience who both have shit taste AND spend time legit complaining about how horrible and unfair it is that not only someone dares to make content they personally don't like, but other people like that content, and that's UNFAIR AND WRONG because if they don't personally like x it doesn't "deserve" to be popular.

I mean that is the heart of any arguments over how something "doesn't deserve" the fame it has: "I don't like it and it's unfair that other people like what I don't like, they should like the things I like instead - and the person making the thing is a piece of shit because they dare to make a popular product I personally don't like." What's funny is that you often hear that from peopke who fqncy themselves to be smart. I mean at least the people with shit taste usually just enjoy the content they like and ignore shit they don't, instead of making posts and comments over the injustice of the existence of content they dislike.

I can understand lamenting the shit taste of the masses, but not blaming it on the content creators responding to market demand and producing a product they've found to be well received

>(even though the people complaining will never, ever do it despite it being so easy according to them)
Coming from someone who has considered pandering just for followers, I purposely opted out of that idea BECAUSE it's so easy, and because I would be forcing myself to do the type of thing I don't like to begin with.

I gave myself a challenge where I would draw blobs and turn them into characters and it was a fucking hit. People said, "I can see these as a show!", "You should make them into stickers.", "I hope you do more!". Spent very little time on it, that was the point of the challenge, to work fast. It was more popular than any of my animated shorts I did for college or any of my other original work.

Now, if I wanted to, I could just turn my blog into "Blobs Daily" where I have big collages of blob characters and submit one a day and turn them into stickers and charms and sell them on Etsy and dedicate most of my time as being The Blob Gal. It would be very easy and after a year, I would probably have a big fanbase.

But I don't want to because that just doesn't interest me. For me, there's no personal pleasure in pandering to other people or copying someone else's success rather than getting it in my own way. If I get people to like my work, I'd want it to be something I'm equally enthusiastic about drawing as well. I don't really care for artists who make their living off of drawing nothing but Adventure Time-esque characters, so why would I become that person? If they find pleasure in it then good for them, but I'm not going to mimic other people's success because it's easy. If that was the case, I would've never been an artist and gone for a better paying job instead.

This has nothing to do with my thoughts on slice-of-life web comics. I've done a couple just to see if I liked doing it. Just sharing my POV of why someone might not want to just follow a trend they're tired of seeing.

I don't dislike the comics themselves (or at least most of them) but they serve as incentive for easily-influenced people to boast about or even cultivate their personality flaws as well as self-diagnose and that's a pretty fucking big problem.

I feel you, anon. Everyone who says, "I miss the days of being a kid and playing Super Nintendo", I just could not fucking disagree harder. Literally EVERYTHING for me is better as an adult, even video games. I've had way more fun playing with groups in a Mumble channel than doing trade link cable bullshit with Pokemon Red at school. Especially since you were not allowed to have your gameboy at school and could get it taken away.

I fucking stroll in with my Switch at work like it's nothing. Sometimes people take breaks to do Pokemon Go around the office. It's great. I would much rather take being responsible for my own bills vs. not being allowed to eat more than a small bowl of ice cream once a week.

I don't find them relatable and I'm a useless millennial webcomic artist.
A lot of them seem like complaining about very trivial things. Were, most of them are. And usually none of them offers anything interesting for the reader. They're usually just poorly drawn, abstract shit like "haha I want to stay in bed all day" or "big burly LIFE is so hard on me".

Now compare them to Let's Speak English or Today Nothing Happened. Both are competently drawn and actually speak about real life. LSE offers a unique story for the reader of the author's experiences as an English teacher in Japan and observing various customs. Today Nothing Happened is about a girl studying how to draw comics and her everyday life – but it is actual every day life and you can read how it changed and how she got better as an artist and writer. Both are finished and I'd recommend either over that owl thing.

BTW, if you ever see a comic complaining about an Art Block: now that it's drawn by a hack. Professionals don't have art blocks, they have schedules.

You're saying they're talent doesn't correlate to their popularity when if they weren't talented in the first place, they wouldn't be popular.

Self-hating depressed /r9k/ manchild here. I don't like them because normies only care about these issues if it's cute, funny, and relatable to them. Actual societal rejects are rarely treated with the positive feedback these comics get.

I just hate this fucking "the punchline is an exaggerated and detailed facial expression" thing. That's all owlturd seems to want to do, and it's always the same face.

He's done some genuinely funny comics, but then I see yet another "lol this face amirite" and I'm done.

>>92467889
Exaggerated facial expressions become reaction images and dumb memes which is extra publicity for the comic. Blame KC Green and Scott Ran Some Air or however the fuck his name is spelled.

>>
>>92455998
This
Self-important liberal arts degree millenials trying to pass being a man-child off as "quirky" or "relateble" or "interesting" is garbage entertainment and people that like this trash should be shamed.

The people that make these webcomics need to grow up. The people that read these webcomics need to grow up. The people that defend these webcomics need to grow up. They're decadence, pure and simple.

This is the kind of culture that elected Justin Trudeau. This is the kind of culture that thinks Night in the Woods is good writing.

Coddled millenials are not "people". They are children. They are infants.

>Correctly interpreted something about being human

Absolute bullshit. There is NOTHING profound or meaningful in these comics. You might as well give props to Jerry Springer for "showing something about being human"

>Life isn't fair

Of course not idiot. No one wants to have the FBI kick down their door and prosecuted for "making money the wrong way".

But why does that mean these comics are sacrosanct? Why can't we make fun of this garbage?

Because when I read a comic I want it to be more than just the author talking about their lack of motivation, time management skills, or creativity holding them back from making comics. Whomp is the only one in that style I can find funny but I think that's because Ronnie does try to spice things up with really surreal absurdist humor once in awhile and the guy has a really keen attention to detail you won't even notice on first glance.

What I find least tolerable about most of these LolISuckLifeisQuirky comics is they're so shallow and superficial and don't come from a place of real dislike. It always seems like rich, well-off hipsters making works to make fun of people with actual extremes while pretending to be one themselves.

Where's a webcomic about a self-loathing autistic kid or a Commie or loud mouth Dan-Vs Expie without it being ironic or sugar-coated as them being anything but intentionally unlikable?

God I hate Lunarbabboon, every time I'm done reading his strips they leave such an artificial saccharine virtue signaling aftertaste that I want to do something edgy just for the sake of it.

I like C-Cassandra's art, I wish her well and I hope she gets gigs at Disney.

Matt Inman's stuff have fallen out of favour with me, like Maddox, he's only a good friend to have around when you agree with him politically.

I hate Owlturd because I was once that pathetic species he's trying to portray so I take no enjoyment out of painting oneself as a version of myself I was desperately trying to fight out of. To me he, as was the younger version of me, is a weaker subhuman species who we shouldn't be celebrating and popularizing, as we should be striving to become better than that.

Because social aniexy, self loathing and depression are not actual things these people have. Let alone the majority of the "problems" that they have are easily fixable or not even real problems at all.

They then try to pass it off like this shit is isn't fixable and super hard when really they just not have to be a cunt or are being a cunt and overplaying their problems for attention

My personal favorite is when they try and play off how introverted and how big their social aniexy is by telling the story about all the times they willing went to a party they where invited to by their close friends but then had a difficult time talking to the 2 people they don't know. That strip is then followed by a good 6 strips of them hanging out with people and acting completely normal and going to very public places to met and hang out.

and frankly there is very little discussion to be had on the topic other than it is useless and trite. everyone dislikes themselves in some way. these fuckers know that, thats why they make these """"""relatable""""" comics because it preys on an easy part of the human mind.

"oh wow look at how shitty this person is/feels, I look/feel shitty too!"

but normal ,functioning people who actually want to get ahead in life actually change the things they dont like about themselves rather than sharing it with every one like it actually matters. worthwhile people dont focus on their flaws they overcome them

I like it. The drawings show artistic talent despite lack of training. And the humor is a little bit blacker than most comics of this type.

But didn't it stop existing because she's too depressed?

I view these comics as the opposite of that. It's examining shitty personality traits and acting like they're really cute quirks everyone should applaud. Not being able to function at a grocery store doesn't make you some special 2deep4theworld intellectual.

Identifying a problem is an important first step but it's not the last step. It's a pet peeve of mine when people turn their broken brain into their sole identity.

>>92454818
Not him, but my problem is mostly with people like Owlturd who's punchline to most of his comics is just some sort of personified concept like life or depression comes to fuck him up despite it being little more than a minor inconvenience in real life. If you're going to make a wacky slice of life comedy based on your own experiences, it just comes across as disingenuous when you drastically exaggerate your own relatively minor flaws. It's especially annoying when the type of artists that usually make these types of comics are relatively attractive and well to do and in decent relationships so it just comes across as whining. Now I would understand if it was just the odd comic that they complain about minor inconveniences but for some of these people that's literally all they write. Compare them to someone like Ronnie from Whomp who only uses his self-deprecation to accentuate actual jokes rather than form the basis of the comic. In the end, I just find this type of stuff creatively stifling and boring as hell to read.

You know, I've given Matt Inman shit over the years for making soulless facebook-bait comics, and for making that idiotic cat card game, but he's honestly far from the worst offender. These days he mainly just makes comics about things that are important or interesting to him, anyways. I can understand a guy who starts out with pandering shit in order to get an audience to be able to do stuff that's important to him. At least he's done some good with his fame, like open that Tesla museum, or shit on Funnyjunk.

What has Owlturd done?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing of value. Nothing Owlturd has ever done has come even close to the work of the man whose comics used to be synonymous with "reddit-pandering crap". Really makes you think.

Hyperbole is the best out of all #relatable comics mainly because the author actually took her time writing good stories, instead of churning out daily four-panel shit for her Facebook. They were great to read, it was interesting to learn about her struggles with depression and the general other stories from her life.

It's a shame her sister killed herself and she broke up with her boyfriend and fell back into her depression (ACTUAL depression), because the webcomic landscape has been a lot worse without her around.

life really opens up when you have the ability to move forward and the only way you can move forward is with help sometimes that help doesn't come from people but drugs (not the "fun" kind those make everything worse)
If you have no facial aesthetics or are ridiculously short or something I'm sorry for you, but you're not as held back as you think and you should try medical help for your crippling anxiety/depression

No, blaming the people who farm the easy revenue stream in entertainment is common and valid. People shun these actions because they lead to the art itself being less valued as a whole, public burn out on the entire style/mood/genre over time, and reinforces the mindset that creating garbage media is not to be frowned upon. It's why we bitch at bad Hollywood blockbusters and reality tv. We know WHY they do it and that they won't stop, but complaining about it is a form of rejection towards the mindset that (while not effective, really) can help slowly change general opinions.

It's not that what they're writing isn't true. It's that what they're making has become very repetitive and unimaginitive. They've fallen into a hole and don't know how to (or just don't want to) bother telling their story in an interesting or unique way.

Basically every comic is
"Incredibly happy 20 something is enjoying their time in life, but then some force beyond their control, either societal or emotional, comes in and makes life harder or punishes their naivite, and then the cute 20 something either accepts their fate, or makes a funny face.

Pretty sure that's just the comic, anon. Not "whole life" material in the slightest.

Antidepressant ads seem incredibly sinister to me, especially the cartoons with the woman who has depression covering her like a blanket.

It's a subgenre of dubstep. They make riddim and they are most notorious.

Their problems aren't bad enough to be engaging "problems," yet they aren't well-off enough to be comically hateable like Eisenstein-style decadent bourgeois. There's nothing interesting about them on a non-individual/personal level, so when these comics homogenize their situations for humor it just gives this weird hollow feeling.

Like there should be something more there, but there's not because there's no individual to get to know better, except for the artist, but attempting to form a relationship with the artist disables the homogeneity that the comic was banking on in the first place. Either way it leaves you wanting more.

Also there is a difference between not socializing and willingly going to a party and then getting upset someone talks to you because you don't want to and then completely shutting them down and out.

Most of their issues aren't even real issues though.

You're right. They are less than babies. Literal filthy insects who leech off the world and spread their filth to infect the pure and good.
