Heavy Metal comic mocks its core fan base. - Not a good way to keep old fans.

[Haramburger]

Scary how parallel this is to Playboy; hates their readership, changes content to alienate fans, shit on fans when they respond reasonably, and run on a skeleton crew with no relevancy for the immediate future. Internet gave a place for indie comics to get visibility, just like porn and Playboy. Ancient publications I miss are unable to cope.

and somehow acts like it's the readership's fault when they're dying.

It's peak entitlement from yuppie offspring, raised in gated communities, with their parents constantly screening their entire life from any kind of inconvenience, solving their problems and fighting their battles for them.

These people think they bring the light of wisdom into the knuckledragger's realm by spouting their vapid dime-a-dozen virtue signalling bullshit (that their parents shelled out a six digit number for them to pick up at a university) and if they aren't met as living embodiments of some kind of divine truth, they pout. And since pouting has worked so far, it will work now, too, damnit! And of course, you have no say in what they make for you to consume. They make. You consume. That's the rules and if you don't obey them, they'll pout even more.
