- margalabargala 3y agoI think OP is probably miscategorizing him. Randall Munroe (xkcd) is still in his 30s and is a millenial, while Cory Doctorow is in his 50s. Are there some xkcd comics that were somewhat fringe or haven't aged as well as one would hope? Sure. But if OP is complaining about grown men in their 30s acting like they're trying to impress college friends, well, Randall was in college when he started writing xkcd. At any rate, Cory Doctorow is a professional spokesperson and spends his life doing ideological marketing. Coining a more memorable term like "enshittification" that clearly gets more mindspace and traction than something like "regression" is just an example of him doing his job properly.
- astrange 3y agoBack in the day it was a comic about a guy wearing a fedora who made overly smart quips about everything, and there were some rather embarrassing comics where the author pined over a woman named Megan in a way that made it seem like he was either an incel or not over his ex.
