actually i think a lot of indie longform gay webcomics are bad because they're often one-person passion projects that are wildly overambitious in scope and have nobody else to edit from an impersonal perspective/talk the artist into killing their darlings. you may argue this should apply to straight webcomics as well, which i think is partially true, but straight webcomics have a much more immediately noticeable problem which is that 90% of them are made by some guy who really really wants to fuck the women he draws. webtoons is a whole other thing
