Daily Poll 27: Will the Rippaverse explore political themes?
Eric recently dropped some insider info on the Rippaverse. Check it out if you haven’t already

My question is if the Rippaverse will explore political themes. Of all the things Eric has said what has resonated with me the most is that politics is downstream from culture and changing the culture will naturally affect change to politics. Do you think the Rippaverse will explore political themes and if not in the first volume will it down the line. I don’t mind media that explores political themes or has a message that is political, what I do mind is media and creators that draw a line in the sand and insist everyone on the other side is the devil incarnate. That is just me what do you guys think?

Eric has said in the past that he isn’t interested in making AnCap the comic. That being said he also said that his beliefs are naturally going to seep their way into the Rippaverse, even if it may happen at the subconscious level.
I think at the minimum we can expect a comic that doesn’t bagger us about politics and just creates an interesting world with interesting characters.
I think it would be cool if Eric drops in his beliefs as long as the story and characters come first and that it doesn’t break the reader’s immersion.

This might be too on the nose for more serious storytelling, but it would be hilarious to have a character that constantly tries to insist that his/her race or sexuality is the reason they’re not getting what they want, just to be told and forced to reckon with a very simple and obvious reason instead like “it’s Sunday. They’re closed.” Maybe they could even have blue hair or something and a power set of gaslighting, intolerable whining and emotional manipulation.
Introducing, the activist. lol.
