I'm new here in the fediverse... why she is hated here? I'm out of the loop on something?

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago (11 children)

She made a comic on reddit about “if women talked to men the way men talk to women”

A bunch of people commented that they had personally heard women say one or more of those things

Everyone who made those comments was banned and muted

People made posts on other subreddits explaining what happened and were banned and muted from /r/comics even without having posted or commented in it

She and the mods of /r/comics doubled down on future posts

There are a number of Reddit refugees on Lemmy.

You're all manufacturing drama around this.

Or you're burying your head in the sand. How are people manufacturing drama when it's the comic creator who's threatening people with legal action over parodies of her comics?

I have a really hard time believing anyone cares about any of that or even has a source for truth. People are broadly taking cues from everyone else and enjoying hating a thing because it's fun to hate.

A simple google search would have shown you the receipts lol

I literally do not care if artists have scuffles about permission or whatever, every online artist has some tangled backstory because people are shitty and being online is a fight, that said we have so many ACTUAL fucking EVIL people out there trying to do ACTUAL bad things, it feels like this site is just full of people who can't access actual fascists and nazis so everyone piles onto the nearest "problematic ally" just because it's easier to tear someone down than go fight a real fight.

You keep pivoting lol, just say you enjoy garbage web comics that's fine

Also, you're blocked, you're not even remotely equipped to have a real discussion if you call any of what what said here "pivoting" just keep letting herd-mentality guide you, I'm sure it will always serve you well.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If you call that "keeps pivoting" you're really short on attention span, and maybe you need entertainment that doesn't require you to pay attention for more than three panels. That's probably where this cartoon lost you.

Your unhinged slew of comments all over here speaks volumes, thanks for blocking me?
