Well I won’t accuse you, it’s a complex and nuanced issue and I think its great to treat it as such, as you’ve done.
But I think this shows exactly the issue with Jago’s work, in order for us to see it as giving these issues the treatment they deserve, we have to give the artist a LOT of benefit of the doubt for a nuance of which the work itself really has no inkling. I doubt Jago has such a balanced, precise view of things as you expressed. Its a wolf wearing a trans hat - Jago gave us no indication that this is someone pretending to be trans, most likely because Jago thinks every trans person is only pretending.
Pretty much every comic I posted is depicting women engaging in typically woke leftist activities, and characterizing them as hypocrites. So it’s cool that you and I can see these comics and see how they fit in a very limited sense into a fair claim, but I just, idunno. Its clear as day to me that the artist is not on that same reasonable page with us.
The “pregnant out of options” one, which simultaneously criticizes women for being slutty while also drawing them in a way that makes the artist horny, oof. The one about catcalling is really gross, because it’s obviously saying “women get mad when someone says sexual things to them, but when its in a rap song they shake their ass to it, isn’t that so ridiculous?” While completely ignoring the fact that a rap song can’t rape you, its not addressed at you in particular, and that a woman can choose to listen to sexual music when she’s in a sexual mood, which is different from catcalling. Yet Jago wants to make this imagined hypocrisy the subject of a “joke” in that comic.
All the signs are there that this artist is an asshole. Some of their comics don’t reveal it as plainly, but that’s why on things like the dreadlocks one which are more in a grey area in isolation, end up still being fair to interpret harshly.
