"Tatsuya Ishida ... knows his alt-right beliefs are toxic to a lot of fans" He's not alt-right. Are you retarded? Are you incapable of having political knowledge that extends beyond scapegoating?
I mean,
He’s not a big fan of gay people
He’s not a big fan of the Black Lives Matter Protests
He doesn’t like trans rights or Antifa or BLM or Black Liberation
He really doesn’t like “woke” politics
He doesn’t like anything to do with trans/nb people (note the big nose on the hipster there).
He makes this same joke again
That one, yeah.
He doesn’t like the modern feminist movement, albeit for somewhat unorthodox stated reasons
He thinks that modern America is under the control of a secret cabal of people of a certain race that he kind of dances around outright saying they’re Jews but he clearly means Jews
He’s maybe not super-big on “Freedom” as a concept.
And, you know, if you spent eight years hating gays, trans people, black people, the left, liberals, and feminists, blame the Jews for being behind it all, and have flirted with the idea that maybe we need less freedom because our society is degenerate, and you have literally never advocated for a single left-wing cause at any point in your twenty-year history as a political cartoonist, you might just be a conservative, bro. Gonna have to call a spade a spade here.
Also, please don’t use “retarded” as an insult it’s kind of uncool.
