You know someone says this every single time one of her comics gets reposted but no one ever explains why/what happened. Is there like a specific instance of her doing something? Or is it just a general demeanor?
I've read the following arguments:
Thank you so much for Informing me about Garfield community
ooh then don't miss !garfieldism@lemmy.blahaj.zone and !imsorryjon@lemmy.world...
I'll try and answer this but it's complicated...
From what I gather, there are a bunch of different groups that dislike her for different reasons. Some people are just misogynists with fragile egos who can't take a joke. Some are prudes who think less of anyone who does sex work. Some dislike her political comics for being "low effort". Some think her comics are unfairly boosted (bots or something I guess??) to be more prominent than they should be. Some are upset over her apparent misandry in one particular comic (and the doubling down defense of it). And lastly some dislike how much "power" she has to quash all criticism/critique/parody of her comics.
It's messy because the ones in the last couple of groups get lumped in with the ones in the first groups and it gets vitriolic/toxic pretty quickly. You know, like the internet tends to do.
comes across like she got picked as a target/meme, responded badly, and now every random cat comic from her will have someone randomly insult her and you're left wondering what catagory of hater they belong to.
Yeah that's pretty accurate. It doesn't help that the current internet structure thrives on any sort of engagement so getting some haters means you're more visible and it becomes a feedback loop.
I've commented on her comics on Reddit years ago. She was a defensive crankpot. I'll call that, bitchy.
I definitely remember you begging a defensive crankpot when I tried to engage genuinely with you a while back. Shall I follow you around the internet and call you a bitch every time you comment..?
Whatever floats your boat.
