If you can get that much of a coherent plot out of Sinfest, you're
doing better than most - lets remember that this plot arc started
in Alice's Wonderland.

Sinfest is a webcomic (sinfest.xyz). It started around 2000, and
for the first decade was a cute and very fun slice-of-life comic,
with a clean and enjoyable art style. Around 2010 the brain worms
struck the author/artist, and it has turned into an increasingly
deranged polemic, starting with second-wave radical feminism,
TERF, SWERF, anti-gay, anti-woke, anti-DEI, and now, pure quill
anti-semitism, all while maintaining the same cutesy art style.

There's a sub on reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/sinfest/
which has been following this train wreck of dumpster fires,
with sort of horrified fascination.
It's not unheard of for comic artists to go a bit funny as they
age. Lynn Johnston, Neal Adams, and of course Kitchener's own
Dave Sim come to mind. But Sinfest's creator is a pretty extreme
example.
The author seems to be healthy so perhaps we will find out
what's after the TERF > Nazi progression.
