    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.

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

          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.

              …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.

                  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.

                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.

                  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.
