These comics leave a bad taste in my mouth because r/comics is a free speech dead zone and that lady has a lot to do with it.

[-] prole 7 points 3 days ago

Wow, this time I actually got pretty far down into the comments before getting to the unrelenting author-hate

[-] Baggie@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 days ago

I'm curious how that happened if you'll indulge me

[-] psilotop@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I've never heard of anything connected to her. What did she do?

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 11 points 3 days ago

Let me guess, she was harassed, complained about, gamers were banned, peaches unfrozen.

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

The reverse, actually. Back on reddit, she made a comic about her sexually harassing men, the joke being "haha, this never happens". She was then informed that this does, in fact, very much happen, and reacted... badly. The comments blew up, and it ended with the mods nuking the thread and banning everyone who criticised her. It left a very bad taste in people's mouths.

As you may imagine, the fact that every time she's criticised here the default response is "oh, you just hate her for being a woman" isn't exactly helping. If anything, all the comments jumping straight to "fuck you you will die alone" are actively making it worse.

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 3 days ago

Better attach a proof with that. Hard to believe having read some of her comics.

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

...Really? I mean, sure, it's not like it's obscure. She even make a damage control faux-apology about it when it looked like people were turning on her. Unironically saying "I don't hate men at all. I have a son! Lol" was a particularly memorable response.

[-] AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 days ago

Wow and people are still like "Never forget!!!" to bring this up? The comic is clearly satire and even funnier with the reaction.

Thanks for the link, definitely an interesting example of a different kind of brainrot - promoting and reinforcing victimhood in young men which ultimately helped the rise of inceldom and neo-fascism.

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

They are. And they will continue to be, until people learn to stop dismissing them, or at least learn to stop poking the proverbial bear. Until then, you can expect every pizzacake thread to turn into a capsule speedrun of how "the left" lost men.

[-] AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 days ago

Yes and now they lost the right to have a safe abortion. Them removed shouldn't have been so uppity! /s

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Yeah, you're right. I'm sure the winning move is to close ranks and never give an inch to anyone on anything ever. After all, it's been working great so far!

[-] AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago

Standard Anti-Fascist strategy is to deny fascists a platform. Fascist speech is fascist recruitment. And obviously no, you can't compromise with fascism, that's the tolerance paradox.

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

...See, the thing I notice here is, I made the outlandish standard of "never give an inch to anyone", and you jump to "compromise with fascism", as if your operating idea of the world assumes everyone is either already on board with your program, or a fascist. This, to put it mildly, sounds like it could cause problems with getting others to support your causes.

Now, if this were the original formulation of the paradox of tolerance concept this wouldn't matter, because it was proposed as a way to protect an already open, tolerant society from fascist subversion, and assumes the "you" to be, in fact, everyone but the fascists, and the fascists to be an insignificant fringe group that the "you" doesn't need, and can, essentially, bully into silence. The fact that your example in this thread is "now they lost the right to have a safe abortion", I get the feeling that isn't exactly the case.

All the links there just go to this comic https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/1dpptkk/talk/#lightbox, which is very obviously none of the things people seemed to be complaining about. Is there a much more offensive one I just haven’t seen yet somewhere?

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

The comic that kicked it off, linked at the top, yes. I don't know what your threshold for "obvious" or "much more offensive" is, but the rest of the links are people who obviously found it objectionable, as well as her (and the mod's) reaction to having objections.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 4 points 2 days ago

I might have been a bit too diplomatic. Looks like a load of shit-stirrers stirring shit.

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Likewise. And it is. It's just that pizzacake is one of them.

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 3 days ago

she made a comic about her sexually harassing men,

Where is the proof of this?

[-] Aqarius@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

It's linked in the thread.

If your intention is to do the Ben Shapiro "prove to my criterion" thing, I'm not interested.

[-] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 4 points 3 days ago

You are the one saying that she made a comic about her sexually harassing men but can't even proof that comic exist, so stop lying.

This one linked doesn't it.

Sorry, buddy. I can lead a horse to water, but I can't make you drink.
