RedPanels

RedPanels was a racist, sexist, homophobic, islamophobic, and particularly antisemitic webcomic, which centered on bravely taking pot shots at absurd "liberal" strawmen.

An editor believes that this article consists mostly of direct quotes and images, resulting in a list of examples and not substantive content.

The original author or others are invited to either edit and expand the article with substantive content or comment on the talk page. "Drive-by" templating is discouraged.

Surprisingly, RedPanels was not a tankie webcomic about the rise of the proletariat under the crimson banner. Oh well.
Frogs, clowns and swastikas
Alt-right
Chuds
Rebuilding the Reich, one meme at a time
Buzzwords and dogwhistles

It described itself as the "Red Pill in Webcomic Form"[1] and actively promoted the alt-right.[2] It came to some attention when Richard Spencer (a noted non-Nazi) tweeted a cartoon about how concentration camps started because people just wouldn't stop punching (totally-not-)Nazis.[3][4] RedPanels ended on 2017 February 02, citing monetary reasons; the last panel fittingly consisted of a HitlergrußFile:Wikipedia's W.svg given in deference to Trump and the Meme Nazis.[5][6]

The whole production is basically one, big neo-Nazi themed easter egg hunt — even Redpanel's CSS stylesheet just happens to be titled "stylesheet88.css".[7] Whatever could that be a reference to?

MEIN FÜHRER!! I CAN DRAW!!

The owner (who styles himself as "Red"[8]) seems reluctant to identify himself. RedPanels.com is registered with WhoIsGuard, which enables Red to list no personal information on his ICANN forms.[9] We at RationalWiki cannot imagine why a Nazi would prefer anonymity. The developer of RedPanels' Android app is Mike Carter (@devicroft_);[10][11][12] it is improbable that Red and Mike Carter are one and the same.[13]

RedPanels' very first comic, drawn with only the finest Microsoft Paint. At least it's not as incoherently Nazi as its progeny.[14]

Scope

Alexa estimates that RedPanels.com receives about 100,000-300,000 monthly sessions.[15] Its Facebook page has over 36,000 likes.[16]

Racism
Because only businesses run by white men are successful.[17] (In reality, Silicon Valley is dominated by immigrant entrepreneurs.[18][19])
This is a real thing that really happens in real life.[20]
Look, I made a strawman cry![21]
Because electricity is a cultural thing! Oh wait, no it isn't.[22]

Islamophobia
Better watch out for that creeping sharia![23]
Because apparently Islamic immigrants will assimilate us.[24]

Antisemitism
Why call it liberal media when you can call it the Jew media?[25]
Because only Jews can oppose racism.[26]
Fear the Evil Jew and his blood libel![27]
Richard Spencer isn't a Nazi, because he says "Hail Trump" instead of "Heil Hitler". Milo isn't a Nazi, because he says otherwise, and he definitely[28] isn't lying. Never ever.[29]
6 million and 1488? What could those possibly mean?[30]

Misogyny
You feminists will be so unhappy when we replace you with anime body pillows![31]

Cringeworthy
It's a joke about her health, guys! Why aren't you laughing?[32]
Yes, Pepe is licking the GOP's ass.
Anime was a mistake.[33]

StoneToss

After being memed to death by antifascists, Red launched another online webcomic that is 10 times uglier, and is currently known as StoneToss.
