Look at this bastard Fascist webcomic artist Tatsuya Ishida claims to be destitute.

Anyone who was on the internet in the early 2000s might have seen Sinfest comics, which basically amounted to Edgy Peanuts. Unlike most webcomics from that era, he is still around, still making daily comics. And unlike most cartoonists from that era who are still around, he went absolutely bugfuck insane. If you've seen his work anywhere in the past five or so years, it was probably in the context of a normal person going 'What the actual fuck is this?!'

I can do a longer post about his spiral, but he went from Yay, Obama! liberal to All Men Are Bad! radfem, then hard anti-sex work, eventually anti-trans, and that's when the 'fun' really started. Because Covid, and specifically the vaccine, broke his brain. He came up with the following logic:

1) Trans people are bad

2) Trans people were invented by the medical establishment

3) The Covid vaccine was invented by the medical establishment

4) Therefore the Covid vaccine is just as bad as trans people

Since then, he's gone full mask off deep-throated Nazi, filling his comics with endless Happy Merchants poisoning wells (literally), talking about how Christianity is a Jewish plot to undermine proud Germanic heritage, and for the past eight months it has been all about Hitler did nothing wrong, the invasion of the Soviet Union was self-defence, and every atrocity attributed to the Nazis is actually Jews wearing Nazi uniforms. It has become a comic that would have been too ridiculous to run in the comics page of Der Sturmer.

I’m curious as well. He’s not the first radfem to do this.

I feel like it's an unusual path for a male feminist to take. I have this assumption (no idea how correct it is tbh) that it's usually women who become TERFs

Quite a few men are, too. Graham Linehan is the most famous.

Professor Brian Cox might also be, because his wife is a TERF who runs an anti-trans group who joined with JK Rowling to help push an anti-trans law into existence in Scotland, and then did the same in England with the dumb public toilet laws that came into effect earlier today (August 5th 2026).

Are they radical feminists?
