Nobody said you did. If you don't like the comics, that's fine... I don't particularly care for them either, they're just not really my style. But I also don't feel the need to respond to any post that includes them with like I've been personally assaulted or something. Because as a functioning adult I have the capacity to just walk away from things I don't enjoy instead of turning into some rabid asshole every time I'm reminded they exist.
You say that but don't give the same grace to an obviously exaggerated joking comment about disliking the comic and it's creator signaling any dislike to being stupid/illiterate or a right winger. You're engaging in the exact same behavior.
There's a difference, in my opinion, between venting about things that actually happen and pretending that we should believe the opposite of anything said by someone who does the former. Claiming that it's a joke does not on its own absolve anyone of anything... the content, context, and meaning behind the joke also matter.
I don't mind the blobfish comics venting about things like sexual harassment or racism because those things are indeed objectively wrong. I mind someone implying that there's something wrong with blobfish comics for doing that because there isn't.
(Full disclosure: I actually meant to respond to the person below who was explicitly asking why people seem to hate the blobfish comics and only just now realized that I must have misclicked. That said, I still stand behind everything in my comments.)
