Adventure Comic - Antifa as Villains?
7 years ago
Recently I've been avoiding posting art things. The reason being I don't have anything to show, but also because the projects I'm working on are fairly big. I want to avoid posting 1 or 2 pages of something before abandoning it, or showing 3D models for a game that might never be finished. Yet at the same time I want to post stuff because that can help me keep interested? I dunno.
So far, I think I really like the Sabre/Leanna team up. My quick re-write of the outline of events is looking much better than before. Thanks to everyone who gave feedback. It's appreciated. ^_^ Only 1 person said they wanted Hannah/Leanna. Ah well. For what it's worth, that means more Leanna fanservice, as stuff that was intended for Hannah can go onto Leanna in some situations. I'm still experimenting with art styles, so either I'll have to re-do early pages, or there'll be some art whiplash early on.
Which brings me to the topic of today's question. I mentioned to someone that antifa were the villains. ...This did not go over well. My rational was simple. They are the go-to bad guys of the current decade that don't really need an explanation. Kind of like how nazis, Russians, and middle eastern terrorists were the go-to baddies in their respective time periods. Hell, even CS:GO has them as a terrorist faction.

Now, I generally don't shy away from such controversy, and in general avoiding it results in things being worse. A great example is how 6 days in Fallujah is considered a great loss, with lots of people wondering what could have been. Whereas Battlefield Hardline is largely forgotten despite the controversy at the time, and I don't think banning the game or replacing the people with space aliens (yes, that was really a suggestion) would have helped matters.
However, I'm not dead set on antifa being the villains. They are just convenient. I could have a fictional Cobra esc terrorist group, but that would require introduction and explanation and design. If you have any suggestions, let me know. Just bare in mind, in the same way Battlefield would be silly if it was alien cops vs space robbers, I'm not going to have zombie robot orcs or something equally silly as the villain. Remember, the goal here is to have a classic style adventure set in the modern day (with some lite sci-fi and furry elements for extra fun).

I think the idea is a great form of social commentary though as villains they would have to rounded out. What I mean is; I understand where Antifa is coming from, but I don't agree with their actions of committing violence. Especially sense they're kind of undoing the hard work of the Civil Rights movement from many years ago. That's just from my opinion though.
