      It would be nice if we didn’t bring reddits controversies over here. We got real stuff to talk about. Not some he said / she said deal.

      Especially when it’s in response to the recent discussions about how she bots her posts to reach the front page everytime, has arrangements with the mods of the sub to remove any negative comments, tried to sue another sub for making parodies of her comics(and getting mods to ban anyone who mentions that sub in comics), makes ridiculous strawman arguments constantly(like this one), and how she uses her comic as a front for her OnlyFans.

      She’s a parasite on the comics community and she’s finally starting to be called out for it, which is why you’re seeing comics like this to try and get ahead of it. She’s just trying to shift the drama to something besides her actions. She’s hoping reframe all of her criticisms as just a bunch of maga/incel harassment instead of actually addressing any of it.

        I wouldn’t go that far.

        Every comic is a back and forth with a mental strawman. If you want to appeal to a bunch of self-righteous people on their soapboxes, daring the world to prove them wrong, well… guess what you’re drawing?

        If I had to wager, she knows full well and is sick of this format but has locked in to a point of no return.

        She should unironically go all-in with it and make a Straw Man character for her comic identity to constantly wage war with, like a Robbie Rotten.

        I can’t find any information on this aside from Reddit threads and youtube vids based on reddit threads.

        she uses her comic as a front for her OnlyFans.

        I haven’t really decided how I feel about this. Is it legit? I could see either opinion. It certainly drives her to make whatever comics that appeal to the masses. They function as an advertisement, and I know how I feel about advertisements.

        If I’m curating something that I’d publish, there’s no way in hell I’d include her stuff. Banning it from a platform is a number of steps farther than that, though.

        Artists need to make money, and there are certainly projects I appreciate where I’d encourage the artist’s method of making money. Where to find the line between the art as advertising for money and the money as funding for the art is an interesting discussion. You can absolutely tell in her case, but she shows that the line is blurry.

        Lots of outrageous accusations without any evidence, with a bit of misogynistic sex shaming to top it off. Methinks you’re full of shit.

          nah, not misogyny. Using r/comics for profit and advertising. Something we used to shame people for. I don’t give a fuck if she’s showing off her butthole. Power to her. But don’t manipulate your position in the subreddit for your own gains and then act like an innocent angel when called out and get people banned for bringing it up.

            Still nothing but your word that she’s “manipulating” anyone or anything.

            And, breaking news, everyone uses that sub for advertising. Do you also get this self-righteous when creators link their patreon or other socials? How exactly is OF different?

              You seem to want to laser focus on one part of this instead of the whole thing. You’re not trying to discuss in good faith. Just argue. As such, fuck you, I’m not engaging. Go look it up if you actually care.

                I looked it up. I can’t find anything except people furiously agreeing in some hate-filled reddit ouroborus without a beginning. Can you link to something substantial, that isn’t reddit comments or videos about reddit comments?

                From what I’ve seen, she posts crowd-pleasing media, seems to like online attention, has been cool with people reworking her comics, lost her shit for a week or so at one point, and has an onlyfans.

                How do you know she has bots?

                    Does that mean the only proof of the bots and unfair moderation is people saying stuff? No screenshots of messages from the chick asking mods to take down mean comments, or IP addresses for different accounts boosting her posts?

                “Laser focus”, lol. You tried to justify the OF accusation and I explained why that’s bs.

                As for the “whole thing”, your word doesn’t prove anything and your outright refusal to provide even an ounce of evidence for your deluge of accusations suggests I’m not the one acting in bad faith here.

                  You don’t have to be a full blown redditor, just not be blind. Most of these accusations are easy to verify just by looking at her posts.
                  She regularly make self pity posts because “people are mean” (aka they don’t lick her boots), where she explicitly advertised her only fan. Last such post had 17k karma within 2 hours. Seems fishy no ?
                  She even boasted about gaining lots of follower after making rage bait and having her OF boosted by the engagement.
                  Comics moderators are known to be simp, and will remove any criticism of her comics, valid or not.
                  Investigate it yourself and you’ll see what’s going on. Instead you scream because we didn’t provide a ready to eat summary of what’s going on…

                  If you’re going the misogyny call-out route again, just know I held the exact same view of the blind guy that draws his wife nude. Same energy and they both defend each others because they have the exact same tactic to sell porn to teenagers on Reddit.

        It’s annoying because everyone seems to agree that reddit is shit (even people who use it addictively) [yeah that used to be me lol] But people decide it’s sh*t for different reasons… I’m assuming what you say is true, as it rings true, and that means she’s basically pretending to be pissed off at it for “based” reasons when she’s actually annoyed people point out her manipulating the site for profit - one of the main gripes people have with reddit.
