So what was that big fuss over Hoist the Flag all about?

So I'm aware that the recent Timelines exclusive comic caused a massive fuss for some reason, but I can't actually find out what the fuss was actually about.

I haven't actually read the comic, and TFWiki doesn't seem to mention anything out of the ordinary (which is odd as they're usually good at mentioning fan reactions to stuff, especially one-off comics)...all I know is some people were upset over it. The only thing I can find out that might have something to do with it is that one of the artists (Hayato Sakamoto or something) used to do yaoi/crossdressing hentai...which doesn't seem that big a thing to get worked up about, seeing as basically everyone in the comics/manga industry has tried their hand at porn (even the guy behind Yotsuba&! and Azumanga Daioh did a few unsavoury one-shots...). His art certainly seems pretty decent, so it can't be a horrendous art quality/Pat Lee type affair. Was the story a bit ****? I'm honestly confused.

Can anyone shed some light on what this was all over?

...Is that it?

Oh. I was hoping it might actually be something properly controversial, as opposed to people just moaning about "icky girly bits" in their robot comic.

Honestly, I'm exceedingly un-bothered about this. Seems like another big fuss over nothing. If we were talking Kiss Players levels of perversion then yeah, I could understand. But a few shots of Transformer tits and ass? It's not like Transformers has ever been completely free of fanservice anyway. For example...

And who could forget this abomination?

But seriously. Fanservice is really nothing to get worked up about. I mean, heck, if female Transformers aren't allowed to have feminine bodies, what's even the point of them being female?

Oh wait. Tumblr.

Well, that explains it.
