Hello. Thank you for your generous rating & comment.
The effect you're describing did not begin as intentional, but I recognize it's quite a distinctive element of the artwork and I am glad it is evocative. Unsettling is definitely the feeling I am going for. Art is like thia-mania, possessing and consuming; I sometimes find myself twisting and pulling similarly dramatic expressions as I draw.

I'm happy you like my stream of consciousness diatribes as well. Thank you again.

Yes, while it's easy to determine cats and dogs, snakes are deemed too unusual and not many people understand their body language. At-tan doesn't really know what to think about him, so she is ambivalent. One At-tan loves to stare at him, but some of her wants to kill him anyway for just being male, so you're not wrong.

Thank you! It's a python. I actually don't know too much about snakes but I think they're cute, shy, and come off really ambiguous (physically & folklore-wise) so it's all very fitting for Doctor.

I don't show men as solely responsible. A study may be coined by a man, but it's typically women that are more socially progressive, and they propagate these ideas (or invent their own) to the masses. Some things women did have been helpful to women's rights and other things are very damaging. Most women in At-tan's comics (usually seen with cat masks and/or Mars armbands) are a parody women that At-tan sees as enemy— because they favor men, silence other women and uphold ideals that keep the status quo. They're like Brothel Madames (women designed to hurt and keep other women in check.) I'm well aware of the evils women can commit, as they are human and flawed.

Women (not going to use 'feminists' as that is a specific group) have to talk about their genitals when it's relevant or to differentiate. They aren't reducing themselves to anything, as they still call themselves women. Women do not like being called dehumanizing terms like "bleeder, menstruator, vagina-owner". It is gov policies that reduce women to their genitals because they refuse to call us women (but interestingly, men get to keep being called men). That's why there is a pole in At-tan for the entirety of the comic, it's saying "I'll give you painful reminder you're nothing but a vagina-owner". At-tan introduces herself as a woman, but was reduced to body parts by the end of it. I'm not sure what right wing things are present or if you were just speaking in general terms. Neither the left or right care about women so I am not staunch follower of either. But I do bring up concerns I find relevant to comic.

I have to ask: Which sex commits the majority of those rapes and homicides? I leave out suicide because it's self-induced for reasons that vary too much (yes it's issue, but not always sex-related oppression). At-tan does think penises are evil, she's pretty extreme (she is her own person, not my mouthpiece). I don't think penises are evil. I can still wonder why they're so often used as weapons.

Thank you for sharing your opinion to me. I shouldn't need to make disclaimer "not all men" every time I post, I think it goes without saying. I'd consider it a blessing you were not treated in a way based on your sex, to view the world in such general way. My personal opinions and experiences are not interjected very strongly, as I absolutely hate vanity projects. But it is inevitable that my work will have subconscious of me in it. Not all suffering is sex-specific, but At-tan's suffering is sex-specific. My suffering was sex-specific. I won't call it anything else.
