    i don’t like calling people sheep, mainly because conspiracy theorists use that term a lot. but it applies so well here, i can only agree.

      It felt liked it applied to me too. I think it’s less calling people sheep and more using a good allusion to the whole concept. I agree with you, I also don’t like calling people sheep and I hate the word ‘sheeple,’ but I think this isn’t actually doing that.

      I do think the “these people are sheep” metaphor is a part of this comic, but not so much as the “wolf in sheep’s clothing” allusion, which is the main jist of it.
