View submission: /r/xkcd is free?
I'm not sure why this particular comment is downvoted. Maybe the percentage is off a bit, but most xkcd comics are science/math - centric, regardless of what the author thinks.
One of the more important aspects of critical reading is accepting that the author's *intent* is only one piece of understanding the *impact* of the work.

He often uses science and math to illustrate the realities of SJ issues to people who are otherwise reasonable, especially when it comes to things like misrepresenting scientific findings in the media or purposely using bad statistics and methodology. That's also pretty obvious given the content of the comic and what-ifs.

They're downvoting because they have bought into the idea that criticizing internet activism is the same as being a misogynist neo-nazi.
