    She made a comic on reddit about “if women talked to men the way men talk to women”

    A bunch of people commented that they had personally heard women say one or more of those things

    Everyone who made those comments was banned and muted

    People made posts on other subreddits explaining what happened and were banned and muted from /r/comics even without having posted or commented in it

    She and the mods of /r/comics doubled down on future posts

    There are a number of Reddit refugees on Lemmy.

        Or you’re burying your head in the sand. How are people manufacturing drama when it’s the comic creator who’s threatening people with legal action over parodies of her comics?

          I have a really hard time believing anyone cares about any of that or even has a source for truth. People are broadly taking cues from everyone else and enjoying hating a thing because it’s fun to hate.

              I literally do not care if artists have scuffles about permission or whatever, every online artist has some tangled backstory because people are shitty and being online is a fight, that said we have so many ACTUAL fucking EVIL people out there trying to do ACTUAL bad things, it feels like this site is just full of people who can’t access actual fascists and nazis so everyone piles onto the nearest “problematic ally” just because it’s easier to tear someone down than go fight a real fight.

                  Also, you’re blocked, you’re not even remotely equipped to have a real discussion if you call any of what what said here “pivoting” just keep letting herd-mentality guide you, I’m sure it will always serve you well.

                  If you call that “keeps pivoting” you’re really short on attention span, and maybe you need entertainment that doesn’t require you to pay attention for more than three panels. That’s probably where this cartoon lost you.

      Then she threatened a subreddit with legal action for making fun of and parodying her comics. All around a toxic person
