Am I missing something? Why is the hate so intense?
She's a profoundly mediocre, incredibly bland comic, who gets far more publicity than she deserves. And any criticism of her gets you labeled a mysogynist.
Fucking Garfield took bigger risks than she does.
If someone is profoundly mediocre or derivative, you do far more to support them by being a hater than by simply ignoring them. Even if they suck as a person, all engagement is good engagement on the internet.
I just enjoy pissing off all her annoying fans mostly.
Yeah, I'd appreciate if you don't do that here.
Cringe.
... So you do it explicitly to try and make others not like something? That seems like a less than desirable trait as a human.
Wait, she has fans?
Nah, you just don't like them.
Her comics are okay but there are some really unhinged DMs from her floating around that gave a lot of people s real bad taste
That's a more justifiable reason than her comics just being shit.
There is a difference between something that is aesthetically bad and something that is morally bad. No matter how poorly made or boring something is, I won't be more than annoyed or fascinated by it so long as it wasn't unethically made or spreads an immoral message. I might really dislike the 3rd Jurassic World movie, but I don't hate it in the same way as the new Harry Potter show. One is a cringe worthy and poorly written piece of media, the other gives money to a wealthy and influential bigot who makes the lives of people like me worse.
Unfortunately, both aesthetics judgements and moral judgements are normative, which causes people to conflate the two. They both claim that something is "bad," but the two types of "bad" are not the same. People often look for moral justifications for disliking something that they dislike aesthetically, or vice versa.
In the case of this comic artist who I know nothing about, I'm trying to figure out if they are a bad artist, or a bad person. If they're just a bad artist, I'm gonna be much stricter in moderating people being so harsh in their hate towards her. I don't want people to treat her like lolcow simply because they dislike her work. If she has done bad things, I'll be more lenient on people calling her out. Regardless, I don't want this place to be a circlejerk of hate because those tend to breed other types of toxicity.
