Many of his cartoons have been accused of displaying [[racism]],<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20180702204611/https://www.wired.com/story/ben-garrison-alt-right-cartoonist/ The Alt-Right Found Its Favorite Cartoonist—and Almost Ruined His Life], ''Wired''</ref> [[sexism]],<ref>[https://www.theroot.com/racist-michelle-obama-cartoon-is-just-another-example-o-1790855333 Racist Michelle Obama Cartoon Is Just Another Example of Conservatives' Blatant Hypocrisy], ''The Root''</ref> [[islamophobia]],<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170308141539/http://www.dailyinterlake.com/archive/article-c3636174-3b30-11e6-8943-1f17ebd0c321.html Lakeside cartoonist a player on the political world stage], ''Daily Inter Lake''</ref> [[Anti-Semitism|anti-semitism]],<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20180531002643/https://www.adl.org/blog/anti-semitism-used-in-attack-against-national-security-adviser-h-r-mcmaster Anti-Semitism Used in Attack Against National Security Adviser H.

He even went so far as to sue Christopher Poole (also known as moot), the creator of the website 4chan, on which the strip was edited and posted. Unfortunately, he later began embracing the alt right edits within his strips, even going so far as promoting such messages in his later strips.
