Metahumour/inside jokes for a different website/community doesn’t work.
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.
Lots of outrageous accusations without any evidence, with a bit of misogynistic sex shaming to top it off. Methinks you’re full of shit.

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?

“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.
Do you know where I can see/read that they’re not telling the truth?
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.
Not a single word of this sounds good.
Not a single word of it was substantiated by them.
What of it is wrong? Genuine question.
You have links to those discussions? Love breaking out popcorn once in a while.
That’s a lot of drama around a rather unremarkable comic.
I love it
Oh yeah. And it had been going on for more than a year.
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.
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.
This is ironic considering the source. Didn’t she go crying to Reddit admins to stop people from sharing anything negative about her? I recall people being banned for simply saying they through her comics were low-hanging-fruit and generic.
Oh, PC is in no position to criticise Reddit for spreading snark and negativity.
Ya, she was one only of the few comic artists I blocked as the comics never had any humor, just snark.
No one said snark is bad, just some of the things snarky subreddits allow.
Anyone else had this bot sent to them as harassment in itself? Fucking disgusting
Many times. Interestingly enough, mostly after being critical towards the alt-right (Nazis, Fascists, MAGA).
The perfidious idea is to remind potential suicides about the possibility. Imagine being that hateful.
Got one for the same reasons.
Those shit comics is on here now too?
“now” is odd phrasing from an 8 day old account.
I think I’ve seen this artist’s work posted here for over a year.
I have only ever seen the “Harm prevention” report used exclusively for the purpose of harassment on Reddit. I’m talking like 99.99999% of the time. Everything about that: from the corporate flavored, performative bullshit to the superficially empathetic, and conspicuously caring, two-faced nature of the whole thing really pisses me off. I would prefer if they were just honest about not giving a fuck, frankly.
I think it’s because people know that those who really need that kind of help aren’t going to benefit from some corporate approved form “we care!” message.
So the people who use it are either the “wants to be helpful but is very bad at determining who needs help and how to help” type or the trolling type.
I’ve only ever seen this message sent to harass people
Agreed, I got many of these for being active in politics subs
I figured that was the intended purpose.
The same reddit that allowed to nuke my account based on false bot claims and then refused to roll it back even though the perpetrators conveniently deleted their accounts shortly afterwards? checks out
Reddit Admins hate user interactions. User interactions cost more money to oversee than passive readers.
Much of Reddit policy boils down to “get unsponsored users off our platform”. They don’t want your comments. They don’t want your posts. They don’t want your drama. They don’t want your input. They want you to show up, look at the sponsored links, maybe click a few, validate the advertisers’ spending on media influence, then keep fucking scrolling.
If you’re doing anything other than that, you’re a net lose to the company and you are uninvited from the platform.
Its a bit like going into a casino and winning money. Casinos don’t exist to pay you. Social Media doesn’t exist to platform you. You’re supposed to be a revenue generator, not a cost center. If you behave otherwise, the business will cut you just like they try to cut every other net-negative expense.
makes sense. too bad reddit turned out that way though. but then again - was there ever a platform that didn’t went to shit? Steve Hoffman’s forum is probably the only place that dodged the bullet mostly because it’s a bunch of nerds comparing high frequencies on Frank Zappa remasters
was there ever a platform that didn’t went to shit?
I guess you can argue that 4chan started out as shit and had nowhere better to go.
I might also note that platforms are, at their heart, reflections of the people who run them. And people get older, they leave certain platforms and join others, their tastes and interests change over time.
I think Reddit was doomed the day Aaron Swartz left way back in 2007. And I tend to see platforms and websites fumble the bag at the transition. No idea what’s going to happen to Wikipedia once Jimmy Wales is gone, for instance.
But new stuff comes in to fill the gaps. Its hard to see in hindsight, but there’s always green shoots on the horizon. You often simply don’t realize how nice a thing is until its gone.
yeah, i guess that’s the most sober response.
At least you had bots, I had an actual mod of a huge sub report me to admins because I asked why I was banned for quoting someone’s comment and then reporting them for hate, 12 years of good standing and a stint as a mod also just flushed because the site is managed by unpaid child labor.
sorry to hear that. reddit is a lost cause at this point.
If she’s so sick of it, and they’re not doing anything about it, why does she still stay on Reddit?
Also, why are you re-posting this Reddit-specific drama on Lemmy? Let her make an account and post her stuff if she wants
The act of complaining constantly while not doing anything about it is a huge part of what I dislike about the angry white conservative culture I grew up in. It’s such a widespread cultural issue, and while it fits my conservative family members like a glove, it is not unique to them.
Is Reddit-specific drama frowned upon here? I was hoping to make fun of reddit, I guess I’ll just die
Dead men click no ads
FU SPEZ
Couldn’t get banned from that cess pool fast enough. Sure, I’m blocked from the community spaces from some of my hobbies now, and it is quite isolating at times, but it’s so much better without that toxic shit in my life.
I can think of a few that got banned, don’t know any still up
They get clipped if they start generating bad press
Just here to say, fuck reddit.
I’m glad I never made an account on Reddit. The whole vibe of the site just throws me off completely. The snark subs were one of those reasons
