I get the themes SongDog is attempting to explore but the way she's going about it is weird at best.

How exactly are the stallions being harmed in any way that's outside of their power? They don't have to fight. There doesn't seem to be any reason to partner since there's no danger. There hasn't been any social benefits or detriments shown to partnering or refusing to partner.

A page after men fighting to assault a woman is not the time to be like "misogyny hurts men too :(". LITERALLY HOW. You have not shown any detriments to being a stallion in this society or in the lore of your universe. The mares seem doomed to getting the shit end of the stick.

To be honest the very concept of how partnering works rubs me the wrong way. So the mare just ceases to have all bodily autonomy and just has to take whatever pain the stallion gives her? Crazy work. I really fail to see how this benefits either of them. The stallion feels no pain, sure, but that just makes him more likely to get killed by ignoring his wounds and the mare just suffers I guess. How is having two able-bodied fighters a worse option than this?

I don't fully understand how the partnering works in Swordbearers, again, because I'm not following it. But so far I have no idea how or why are these unicorns surviving as a species with this system.

And yep, that comment is super out of place there. Imagine a similar one in I Didn't Know, "oh, but the Holy Father is hurt too, because he can't have a family" type of shit. Eh, putting a comment like that would probably get your ass blocked.

Is that what is going on in Swordbearers?

LMAO, maybe the tinfoil theory was right and both Swordbearers and The Dragon Slayer copied eachother homework.

But you know, anon, they're just indie artists! You can't ask them to do complex stuff (unless you're complimenting them on how profound their work is).

someone made a comment talking about its so sad people dislike Cassio (a cis man and canonical mysogynistic abuser) because oh look hes doing the bare minimum and calling the main character by the correct pronouns

Found the comment thread. I wonder if the "heated" comments were only made against the Cassio defender or someone did snuck in a critic against the comic wich prompted the full elimination of the thread. Very bad faithed theory, but this is SD we're talking about.
