      Lol. Dog shit comments like this being posted on reddit was a good reason to leave that shithole.

      I’m not a fan of her comics, I just don’t find them very funny. But the level of unconstructive hate she gets is absurd. Just move on if you don’t like the comics. If you really dislike them, just block the user or community. It’s not hard. Grow up.

      Are you afraid spez is going to come to your house and lick your feet while you sleep if you say Reddit? Nothing more pathetic than self-censorship. Say the fucking word or pick another one.

        now now. that’s just a stupid stance to take. you don’t have to make media to be critical of it.

        or do you have to make a podcast to say joe rogan’s slop is toxic, diseased, and damaging to society?

          “This is a dog shit comic” is not a critique, though, is the thing. It’s just jerking off in public.

          You’re right of course! But also there’s a big difference between real criticism and just saying something is “dogshit”. In fact you criticized Joe Rogan’s stuff properly, by drawing attention to the negative effects it has on people. We could go even further and pick out specific cases. (Though there’s no need to in this case, I agree with you.)

          On the other hand, shitting on something with no reasoning just makes you a hater. I work with several comic artists professionally, and a common thing they ALL see is a nontrivial percentage of commenters who simply disparage everything. This is not because the content is inherently bad, but because all these trolls can do is destroy, not create.

            there is no substantive difference between my comment about rogan and that guys comment about this comic. only your opinion is coloring how you take it.

            you and every single person upvoting you are just lemmings wearing a different team’s jersey than the idiot lemming above.

            if anything, we need more haters at this point, because y’all dumb af.

            Them saying Joe Rogan’s podcast is “toxic, diseased, and damaging to society” is not better critique than the other poster calling this comic dog shit. Both are just statements that provide no argument or reasoning behind the statements. Sure they could back it up with examples why it is so, but so could the other commenter, which would make either of those comments valid criticism, but without they are equally good (or bad) criticism.

              I think it’s fine because we were operating on an implicit set of shared knowledge. Not every communication needs to be a research paper.

              I have no understanding (implicit or explicit) of why the original commenter hated this comic, and clearly that’s the case for the vast majority of the voters here.

                Providing 2-3 lines of explanatory context is hardly a research paper, but enough to illustrate reason behind a simple statement.

                AFAIK, the author of this comic is somewhat of an asshat that exercises varying degree of censorship on a comic strip subreddit, based on their personal beliefs.

                  like i replied to the original comment that person is complaining about, she’s had some really dumb takes but is usually in the right ballpark. those dumb takes were also cases where she doubled down and yeah, that subreddit is basically a safespace for their superusers/content creators.

          I find that highly unlikely. It’s far more profitable to just do NSFW if that’s your goal.

          If anything the NSFW posts are a way to monetize the actual thing she wants to draw, which are normal comics.

            Exactly. The NSFW stuff came about from demand, not because she was pushing it. It ended up being very successful, so she kept doing it. It’s weird how angry people get that someone would post nudes.

            A woman being involved in anything NSFW is automatically labelled negatively among a certain sect of the population.

            Which is such a shame because drawing a funny comic that has NSFW elements should be lauded.

            I don’t think simping for online personalities and influencers is particularly healthy, and it’s one of the last things I’d defend.

            It ain’t about the porn, more the intent to sell porn behind the guise of a reddit comic.

            Kinda like when SrGrafo was making loli art. (don’t make me post it)

              That’s strange, because I’m only aware of the porn because of you, not because of the comic.

              You’re the one advertising Internet porn here.

        I generally agree with her opinions, but there’s more to thinking a comic is good than pointing at it and going “wow i think that too.” They always just seem like super generic “relatable” jokes, and it’s crazy that they always get 50 billion upvotes.

        Yeah, on this topic I feel like she’s in the ballpark. My girlfriend and I game in the same spaces but we don’t always announce that we are together IRL for privacy sake. And we are both very independent people.

        The amount of weird dudes she’s ran into that have used “high value man” or “high value woman” is absolutely more than one. They’re pretty common to bump into in online spaces.

        The last time she ran into a problem with a dude like this—she read me the chat as it was going down. The guy was clearly into her but couldn’t handle that she was taken and had no interest. So, this random dude proceeded to call me a cuck (hahaha), asked if I “knew what she was up to” (gaming? lol), and that no high value man would want her! He did this in a public gaming space too and about 50 people thankfully dog piled and ratioed him into oblivion.

        Oh well! I guess she’s stuck with “her low value cuck man” who makes her coffee in bed every morning and with whom she raised a cute and healthy family with. She’s allowed to do whatever she wants and her male doesn’t even try to control her. How horrible! She’ll never recover!

        These dudes are dangerous in numbers. Which is why they deserve and need to be mocked mercilessly until they fuck off or get therapy.

        The only comic of hers that I’ve found morally objectionable was years ago now, and framed around complaining about her kids.

        It had thousands of downvotes (on reddit) and all the comments were calling her out for being entierly responsible for her situation as a parent, and telling her to suck it up and step up because bitching out her kids like that was damaging them, unproductive and absolutely not funny.

        Out of the thousands of comic panels of hers that I’ve seen, that’s really not a bad track record at all.

      Yeah, the virtue signaling is at an insane level, but the author never seems to take their own advice or take it well when anyone points out their blind spots.
