it’s frustrating how most ppl don’t think of pixel art as ‘art’. my work gets stolen so often, and the excuse i hear most is they saw it/saved it from google/pinterest/etc and assumed it was from a video game.

it’s really disheartening how most ppl don’t even THINK to look for the source artist with pixel art bc they just assume it’s from media so ‘okay’ to steal. 😔

or you’ll get ppl like this who are so defensive you’d dare want credit for your art then blame u for not watermarking

Panels from Out-Of-Placers

There’s been a million webcomics that start with a man getting magically transformed into a woman, and they handle that concept in wildly different ways, but I’ve never seen a comic do what Out-Of-Placers is doing, which is to leave it almost entirely unacknowledged for 200 pages before having the protagonist go “Hey, wait a minute” and then submit a report to their boss about it. And I really like that angle, not least because these reports force Kass to do some self-examination, but also because rather than being a fairly direct expression of the author’s own semi-latent transness or a fetish comic, it’s in service to Out-Of-Placer’s real fetish: 

And, after Kass is done making a chart ranking all the nations of the world including unseen ones from most to least misogynistic (worldbuilding!), I find this character analysis interesting. I like the insight that Kass’s relationship to his identity and the way it changes depending on who he’s around. That he’s his old self with his friends, accepts being called a woman at work because he’s more concerned with proving his humanity, and only really gave his lady-ness much thought when being sexually harassed by rats.

For one, we’ve actually seen this behavior from him over the comic, so it’s not some secret that was only in Kass’s head and is being info-dumped, and it’s good character writing that we can recognize these subtle details in his actions enough to read all this and go “yeah, that scans”. 

But also I just like seeing a webcomic talking about Gender and actually having a unique angle on it. I like the perspective a character who’s sex/gender is low of the list of Important Parts Of My Identity. I like that insight that a gendered term of respect in a misogynistic society is inherently a little backhanded. I like that a male character is bubbling with feminist rage due to 2nd-grade-level rats, which is certainly not a story I’ve seen before.
