then downvote, move on, maybe set up a filter to catch the comic strip idk. not everything is for everyone. it's shitty to complain about something because you are not its target audience

But I am it's target audience? I like comics, I'm discussing a well known brand of comic, in a public comic forum. Negativity is not shitty, perhaps if you don't like it perhaps you can just downvote and move on? Or perhaps there merit to negative discussions?

I think there's a difference between "these are a huge waste of time, and always has been. Reddit slop!"

And

"Man, these comics aren't for me. The punchline never lands, or the art style is a bit strange and takes me out of it", etc.

The first kind of negativity contributes very little to any sort of discussion other than to be inflammatory. The second one actually invites the discussion you mention in the comment I'm replying to.

'least.. that's how I see it.

Yet here we are, having a discussion about it. Eventually there will be something low effort, and it will be called low effort, that's not inflammatory. Negativity is not abuse.

Slop, by definition, can’t be OG

Of course it can, it's OG slop, slop from the old days. Like soap operas, OG television slop. You're taking the "original" too literally.
