If you aren’t aware, QC is a long running online strip that (generally) has been running 5 days a week for 23 years(!)
Went to check it last night and was greeted with this. 😔
If you’ve never read it, it’s generally SFW despite the title. Sometimes not.
Warning: Large cast, varied plots, an art style that has changed probably 16 times, huge time jumps, sentient AIs who sniff tea to see visions, and rocket powered roombas.
I’d link to a good jumping on point, but you know, “hacked and blown up.” All the Google thumbnails are super blurry.
Same here! I stopped reading my rss feeds for a few years (not sure why) but when I reloaded them to a new reader I was so happy to see QC still there chugging along. Why would anyone hack them??
My guess would be some anti-woketivist snowflake going “Main character in a trans relationship! Reeeeeeeee!” I dunno if we’ll ever find out.
probably a script kiddie. Theres a ton of automated scripts out there. Or a bad update. IDK.
There is a very serious local exploit circulating with easy to use PoC that still has not been patched by various distros. So yeah, probably automated.
The why is easy. QC is basically a hyper inclusive comic that is the exact prime target for bigots.
You literally couldn’t find a better example of what a bigot would want to attack
