I actually read through that entire Twitter thread, and goddamn. A lot of people in that thread are questioning his fall towards terfdom and Christofascism, but that's pretty expected for people who aren't politically illiterate. The radfem to swerf to terf to fascist pipeline is a unfortunate common pipeline.
The real wtf is how he went from some South Park-esque edgelord to a 2nd wave radfem. He's basically around the same age as the South Park guys (People tracked down Sinfest comics in some UCLA newspaper from spring 1992 while Parker/Stone graduated in 1993.), but Parker/Stone are hardly 2nd wave radfems. If anything, they're more sympathetic towards 3rd wave feminism or more accurately, the pop culture understanding of 3rd wave feminism, which boils down to "women should have the freedom to shake their titties without weird prudes judging them."
Credit where credit is due, Parker and Stone at least aren't prudes with weird views on sex and are fairly comfortable with their sexuality. You would have to be pretty comfortable with your sexuality to make out in some movie from 1998. Meanwhile, the Sinfest loser is some porn obsessed weirdo. It's so fucking weird to see so many comics of scantly clad chicks in sexually suggestive poses with constant "porn is bad acktually" preaching. There's a point where enough ecchi drawings is equivalent to a single hentai drawing. You don't get to say, "I didn't draw nips or pubes, so it doesn't count as porn" while drawing a million ecchi drawings about how hentai is bad for you. Like come the fuck on, who the fuck are you fooling?
I guess the general political trajectory of gen x dudes who aren't completely reactionary is to eventually subscribe to some form of feminism. Parker and Stone, not being sex prudes, choose (the pop cultural understanding of) 3rd wave feminism while the Sinfest guy, being a porn obsessed weirdo who's ashamed of being a porn obsessed weirdo, chooses (the pop cultural understanding of) 2nd wave feminism. And as a porn obsessed weirdo, he would naturally be drawn towards the swerfy aspects of 2nd wave feminism instead of say, 2nd wave feminism being crucial towards the fight for reproductive rights. Once he became a swerf, he's well on his way to become a Christofascist via the pipeline.
