If one is creating a comic with the planned length and style of a graphic novel, where would one sell/advertise said comic? Are free comic platforms like webtoon a good idea? Is pitching said comic to a publisher viable?

You can always pitch it, you'll always lose if you don't try. You could try some kind of guerilla marketing, publish it yourself or whatever. Use social media, as much as I may hate it. Free web platforms should be avoided, I think. Only a select few make serious money off this.

Thanks. I've been thinking about some different shit like offering 1 or 2 chapters for free on a website and the rest for sale, maybe on print. I haven't a clue if this would work or not.

Publishers gets hundreds of shitty comics that go in the trash every week. You have to make contacts.

Does that mean I have to stop being an autistic social retard and meet people? :(

This method has been proven very effective. Be sure to select a chapter with a thrilling cilffhanger and ofc put some extra effort in the artwork. Maybe include a full-page artwork intermezzo (I don't recall the correct term, but you know, a frame which is an entire page and usually has some buffed up style, more detail etc.) to show off a bit, which isn't a vice in marketing.
