From what I gather, there are a bunch of different groups that dislike her for different reasons. Some people are just misogynists with fragile egos who can’t take a joke. Some are prudes who think less of anyone who does sex work. Some dislike her political comics for being “low effort”. Some think her comics are unfairly boosted (bots or something I guess??) to be more prominent than they should be. Some are upset over her apparent misandry in one particular comic (and the doubling down defense of it). And lastly some dislike how much “power” she has to quash all criticism/critique/parody of her comics.
It’s messy because the ones in the last couple of groups get lumped in with the ones in the first groups and it gets vitriolic/toxic pretty quickly. You know, like the internet tends to do.
comes across like she got picked as a target/meme, responded badly, and now every random cat comic from her will have someone randomly insult her and you’re left wondering what catagory of hater they belong to.
Yeah that’s pretty accurate. It doesn’t help that the current internet structure thrives on any sort of engagement so getting some haters means you’re more visible and it becomes a feedback loop.
Both her art style and her takes are bottom of the barrel, and despite that, her supporters are fucking rabid, and will throw every insult they can think of at you.
I’ll try and answer this but it’s complicated…
