* Pepe the Frog, a character from the comic ''Boy's Club'', became a widespread [[MemeticMutation meme]] after his debut in 2005. However, the usage of Pepe as a meme turned awry in mid-2016 when many members of the alt-right used him as a symbol to express racist and anti-Semitic sentiments around the time of the 2016 U.S. election.[[note]]It's possible that ''some'' of the offensive Pepe memes, especially those from before 2016, were originally meant more as VulgarHumor than serious political statements, since other "Rare Pepes" often featured gratuitous BodyHorror, coprophilia, {{Gorn}}, and various sex acts instead of racist imagery, all [[PlayedForLaughs played for extremely dark laughs]], until genuine bigots started [[PoesLaw blurring the lines between satire and serious]].[[/note]] The damage had been done by the time the Anti-Defamation League classified Pepe as a hate symbol.[[note]]Though they did include the caveat that Pepe is not ''inherently'' a hate symbol and context should be taken into account when judging whether using him is hateful.[[/note]] Matt Furie, the creator of Pepe, was [[CreatorBacklash so angry over this]] that he attempted a "Save Pepe" campaign in order to rescue the character. However, in May 2017, [[WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings Furie decided to kill off Pepe in his comic]] after the character became more ingrained as a symbol of the far-right. Furie did succeed in enforcing his copyright in certain cases, such as forcing ''[=InfoWars=]''[='=]s Alex Jones to pay $15,000 in a lawsuit for selling merchandise with Pepe on it, but the reputation as an alt-right meme is very hard to erase.

* ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'' was initially popular for its BlackComedy and its lighthearted parodies of religious tropes. When the Sisterhood[=/=]Patriarchy arc began in 2011, the comic [[FilibusterFreefall suddenly became]] an AuthorTract reflecting the author's trans-exclusionary radical feminist views, before gradually becoming an alt-right comic. The comic is now more known for its author's radicalization than for the characters and storylines it had before.
* Dave Cheung is a manga artist who was originally famous as the author of ''Webcomic/ChugworthAcademy'', a {{fanservice}} comic centered around four teenagers attending the eponymous school. However, whenever his name gets brought up nowadays, it tends to be in the context of one or more of the following topics: a very clumsy attempt to tell people to stop demanding explicit material in ''Chugworth'', posting an incredibly demeaning comic about video game developer Jade Raymond on his [=DeviantART=] page (which got taken down by the site mods due to its explicit content, prompting heavy backlash from Cheung himself), or the entirety of ''US Angel Corps'', a murder-porn comic infamous for its deeply misogynistic overtones, dangerously literal TorturePorn, and fetishization of rape, dismemberment, necrophilia, and abuse; while it was done primarily on commission, it was still Cheung's idea to begin with.

* ''Webcomic/DarASuperGirlyTopSecretComicDiary'' and the NSFW sex toy/sex education site ''Oh Joy Sex Toy'' aren't respected by a lot of people due to controversial statements from artist Erika Moen. The most cited examples from the former are the "[[LesbianUntilGraduation L.U.G.]]" comic, where Erika describes herself as a [[NoBisexuals "lesbian with an exception"]][[note]]she would later describe herself as simply "queer"[[/note]] and depicts her boyfriend casually using the word "dyke" and him and Erika expressing sexual desires towards a visibly displeased woman, and a comic where Erika openly admits to fetishizing trans men. While Erika has presumably changed her mind since ''DAR'' as ''Oh Joy'' tries very hard to be inclusive, the latter's features on certain controversial fetishes have made it a subject of disgust or mockery to many, ''especially'' the [[MemeticMutation infamous comic]] on the cuckolding fetish.
* Once a hallmark of late 2000s/early 2010s BlackComedy webcomics, ''Webcomic/PicturesForSadChildren'' is now better-known for (what appeared on the surface to be) the massive CreatorBreakdown of its author, Simone Veil, who in 2014 forfeited on a Kickstarter intended to publish a print run of the series, uploaded a video of her burning copies of the print volumes (with threats to burn more if she continued to receive emails asking about the Kickstarter's rewards--though in reality, these were unsalable copies with printing errors and the like), shutting down the comic's website, and filing DMCA notices against anyone who tries to re-upload strips from the series. This literal TorchTheFranchiseAndRun approach became such a defining element of the webcomic's reputation that [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/pictures-for-sad-children its article]] on WebSite/KnowYourMeme [[note]]which, fair warning, was written before Veil came out as trans and consequently deadnames and misgenders her[[/note]] features a still from the book burning video as its icon. [[https://www.inputmag.com/culture/pictures-for-sad-children-webcomic-simone-veil-interview This InputMag interview with Veil]] sheds some more light on the situation, such as how "Everyone who paid at least $15 had received a copy of the book."

While AnyoneCanDie is in full effect in this series, the sheer senselessness and cynicism of Gaia's death tainted the comic for many, especially after a rumor began circulating that she had been based off the author's ex-girlfriend he had a messy breakup with (though this was never actually proven).

* Post-2019 discussions of ''Webcomic/{{Erfworld}}'' are more likely to involve the comic's sudden termination and the lingering controversies over the cause of the CreatorBreakdown that ensued, rather than the interesting implications of what is effectively an RPGMechanicsVerse [[TrappedInAnotherWorld Isekai]]. The official reason is 'family tragedies.'
* Discussion about ''Webcomic/HomestuckBeyondCanon'', and by extension its predecessor ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' (especially after 2019), will almost always shift towards the controversial decisions made regarding the epilogue, the fact that much of ''Beyond Canon'''s content is[=/=]was locked behind a Patreon paywall, barely-existent communication between the authors and fans (including the news that Creator/AndrewHussie ceased work on the comic breaking a ''whole year'' after he had actually left), and the authors' [[DearNegativeReader poor responses to criticism]], most infamously sending a legal threat towards WebVideo/SarahZ after she made a video documenting the history of ''Homestuck'' that, by their own admission, they hadn't even watched.
* If ''Webcomic/RaineDog'' is remembered for anything, it's the infamous page where [[BestialityIsDepraved the titular character kisses her young owner]], and the follow up page where she is effectively mutilated under the guise of "spaying" [[note]]though she isn't anthropomorphic yet, she's portrayed as sentient from the start[[/note]]. When it went viral in 2016 the creator Creator/DanaSimpson had to address that the comic wasn't advocating for bestiality, and she's [[CreatorBacklash ashamed of it and the comic as a whole]].
* ''Webcomic/EddsworldTheBeginningAndTheFriend'' is remembered for many things. Unfortunately, being a FanSequel to ''WebAnimation/{{Eddsworld}}'' isn't one of them -- rather, it's remembered for its questionable characterization decisions (in particular, Tord being depicted as obsessed with sex), an infamous scene where Edd is [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale ravished by a group of anime girls without his consent]] being [[BlackComedyRape played for laughs]], and the less than stellar behavior of the people who work on the comic; up to and including one of the crew's lead members telling a teenager to kill themself. Suffice to say, these are the things most likely to crop up in discussions of this comic.
* ''Webcomic/GrimTalesFromDownBelow'', one of Creator/{{Bleedman}}'s crossover comics, had a flashback early in its run revealing that, as a means of courting Grim, Mandy '''carried out 9/11'''. In real life, this was only a few years after the attacks, and so the wounds were still fresh for many of the people who called Bleedman out on using them so insensitively. Bleedman, in turn, responded to the criticism with enough hostility (including flat-out calling one person a "bitch") that he was suspended from [=deviantART=] for a time. There's a number of other ill-advised creative decisions, such as the romanticized incest between Grim Jr. and Minimandy, but the "Mandy caused 9/11" incident remains at the forefront even to this day.
* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'' webcomic ''Webcomic/IWillSurvive'' is mostly known for the infamy surrounding it. The comic sees Judy Hopps finding out that she's pregnant with Nick's child but deciding not to keep it, instead opting to get an abortion. Nick, on the other hand, objects and tries to convince Judy to keep the baby, which leads to a violent argument between the two and eventually their breakup. It quickly became a [[MemeticMutation laughingstock]] among people for how blatantly out-of-character it portrays the two and being [[{{Narm}} over-the-top with the melodrama]]. The author of the comic, William Borba, intended to show how even a OneTruePairing like [=WildeHopps=] can fall apart. However, because he chose an unwanted pregnancy and Judy wanting to terminate it as the reason for their breakup, the comic drew hordes of pro-life and pro-choice commentators who cared little for the characters and focused obsessively on the potential abortion, [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical even though the comic tried to avoid taking a side]]. As such, he is prominently remembered as the guy who wrote the "Zootopia abortion comic" even though he has done a lot of other things besides it.
* The ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' webcomic ''Webcomic/ItsNotYourFault'' by Creator/JaviSuzumiya was already unpopular among Saluna shippers due both to being created as a vehicle for Javi's OneTruePairing Samcoln and Luna's [[AdaptationalJerkass portrayal]] within the comic. However, the comic didn't become especially infamous until page 130 when it was revealed that a drunk Sam, a teenager around fifteen to sixteen years old, [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale had forced herself onto Lincoln]], [[{{Squick}} a preteen boy around eleven to twelve years old]]; resulting in the former becoming pregnant with [[ChildByRape Lina]]. This revelation was glossed over since the intended ship still ended up happening; and Lincoln and Sam are portrayed as a happy, loving couple in Javi's other artwork. The circumstances around Lina's conception caused so much outrage outside the comic that whenever it's brought up, it's more about how Lincoln married his rapist than the contents of the comic itself.
* ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'' was already infamous due to its subpar quality and bizarre plot. However, it has since been eclipsed by the antics of its author to the point that it's borderline impossible to find a single review or analysis of the webcomic that doesn't extensively cover her.
