...ok, now I'm really confused!
ink slinger:
I play TF2 and I didn't recognize the third comic until it was pointed out here. Even now that I do recognize it (the Scout is particularly obvious), I still don't really understand the punchline. I guess there's a lot of homoerotic fanfic? I'm clearly not involved deeply enough in the fandom, because I'm completely lost despite playing the game on a fairly regular basis.

I don't think so - it sounds a lot like the spewings from tumblr (what thread was that discussed in? I think it was in chatter?) that would also lead to comics like the ones Pintsize is selling. After all, only an entitled parasite would spend all day on the internet telling anyone who would listen why they can't do anything productive, in cryptic neologisms that are as contradictory as they are impenetrable, then scream "homophobe" at illogical same sex shippings or "racist" at ponies.
...and I also think that, given some of the comments I've read on her comics, Spike (the artiste) has some of the same issues with internet denizens that Jeph does.
So I don't think it's aimed at these forums, which have become one of the nicer neighborhoods on the internet, but rather at the kind of place these forums may once have been, and what many of the unregulated corners of the internet (like tumblr) have become - cesspools, gathering the effluvia of human discourse.
Ph2:
