Selling online is the way to go for creator owned comics who are either keyed into a marketing network like comicsgate or have an already established online presence. They must also have a quality product that has a level of appeal to mainstream audiences. You can't sell a lot of product if it is targeting a fringe audience, which is something the SJWs do.

And identity politics IS poison. It hates on straight (white, but not always) males and is ethically vacuous (resorting to extreme violence in reaction to minor slights for example).
