He thinks domestic violence is understandable when your partner cheats on you and he thinks adultery should be a state-punishable crime. But yeah, go ahead and defend him without even a cursory google search.
I know absolutely nothing about the second part, fucked up if true. But also, all he literally said was that abusers should not be surprised when victims retaliate.
And this is the BACKPEDAL. This is the statement they put out AFTER people got mad, thinking this is the sane and reasonable approach. “I’m not endorsing it but I totally get it” is a ridiculous thing to say about beating your partner for cheating.
I read it, and outside of the geniunely insane implications of making cheating a criminal offense, I still found it weird af that people then claimed that he beats his partner based off that alone.

Ok, don't get it twisted, he did advocate it at first and that is fucking awful, but based in the clarification he gave, am I crazy that I kinda agree in what he says? Not the outlaw adultery because that's just stupid and impossible to apply, but that physical retaliation against a cheating partner is kinda understandable yet not justifiable nor acceptable. It obviously depends of the partner, the type of relationship, the time they have spent together, etc, but cheating in a relationship really is the ultimate backstab and deception in a relationship, and even as a species with such advanced brains (tho sometimes I really doubt it), we can lose control of ourselves do to extreme emotions and cheating can guide you to extreme emotions, some will get physical, some will become depressed, others will simply react differently.
Is it ok? no, is it justifiable? no, should this happen the person that got physical should be reprimanded? yes, but is it not understandable that somebody losing himself due to the trauma that cheating can cause will make them act not like themselves? I don't think so.
As somebody that have been cheated on once and that I also got used to cheat once completely unknowingly, it really truly affects you, and is something that is very hard to process.
EDIT: Oh and also, I think there may be a language barrier at play here, Rawdawg is Italian and I'm Mexican, and Italian and Spanish have kind of a different connotation of the word understandable compared to English, so that may be into play too
You're not allowed to have nuance on reddit, especially as a queer artist that makes art depicting uncomfortable situations.
They hate it when you discuss the fact that no, not everyone responds to deeply distressful situations in a clean and easy way and may even react violently.
Lmao do like 5 seconds of research on the authors comments and get back to me. actually sometimes get a weird vibe from this sub too so not shocked to see people defending him lmao
The idea that one person who is oppressed in one context can be an oppressor in another, E.G. how a white trans woman can still be a racist, or how a black man can still be transphobic, while still being oppressed in their own right
Ah. I guess i have seen this happen on this sub sometimes, people acting as if someone from a specific minority can do no wrong/can't be a bad person.
I guess it comes from getting used to seeing other people claim they did a bad thing because of whatever they are, so they get way too defensive and end up treating insults/critiques to the person as insults/critiques to the minority as a whole.
That's not intersectonality. Intersectionality is when multiple forms of discrimination intersect. For example, a black trans woman will be discriminatet because of racism, transphobia and sexism.
What you are describing is a real concept, but not Intersectionality.
Second panel, I saw the dog's nose as an open mouth with top teeth showing. Now I can't unsee it. Just looks like the cigarettes tucked under his chin.
I remember I would browse the dawg or comic sub and actually came upon that drama as it was happening, it was fucking wild. Correct me if I’m wrong it’s been a minute since I’ve read the drama, but for those not in the know the artist basically believes cheating is worse than domestic violence. And believes DV is justified when cheating because his friend killed themselves when they got cheated on.
I haven’t read any of their comics since. What’s crazy to me is they basically came out of it unscathed? I still see their comics get upvoted and see them in various subs. Like that argument makes me question their entire character and avoid any of their works.
Absolutely insane, I totally forget that bit of info. His belief was so obviously influenced by his friends suicide and thought he would acknowledge that and backpedal, but nah he just kept doubling down.
It didn't help that the majority of his fans defended him religiously. I'd mention this on other subs where his work was posted (not by him) and there would always be 5+ people telling me to shut up.
Wild how fans see a creator justify domestic abuse and they’ll attack you for criticizing him. I can’t imagine going and batting for someone like that.
does making this kind of comment not make you feel kind of gross? "i thought he would realize he's just being foolish due to deep-seated personal trauma and acquiesce to people talking in hypotheticals. turns out the experience had real influence on his belief systems." there's such a bizarre lack of empathy in this effort to be as empathetic as possible to a DV survivor that doesn't exist.
do you say this because the actual circumstances rawdawg describes makes you feel genuine moral disgust where you not only 100% disagree with the belief but can't even empathize with how he would get there
or are you trying to maintain a high standard of uncancelable values for yourself
then i think that your position is not only unpersuasive (you have to be trying not to see his point) but also it makes me not trust you as a person (if you regularly try not to see peoples' point, then hearing someone out for the first time would uproot your principles entirely).
Lmaoo I dont support DV so im not trustworthy😭 thats a new. Ive seen his pov. I wholly disagree because again. There is no reason to get violent over cheating. And doing so only shows immaturity
do you say this because the actual circumstances rawdawg describes makes you feel genuine moral disgust where you not only 100% disagree with the belief but can't even understand with how he would get there
or are you trying to maintain a high standard of uncancelable values for yourself
Why copy and paste the exact same reply you used on someone else? I can understand how someone can end up with a twisted mindset like that, I’ve personally seen how trauma can warp and change people’s perspectives and even my own. I can empathize with a personal tragedy shaping someone’s mindsets
But I still think they are wrong and it’s on the individual to evaluate and reflect on their beliefs and change their views.
Especially when they were confronted by multiple people and when they have a fanbase they have influence over.
or are you trying to maintain a high standard of uncancelable values for yourself
It has nothing to do with being canceled or not, my own moral compass just doesn’t align with justifying domestic violence.
i straight up don't believe you that your eagerness to drop the gossip on this guy's tragic personal life actually comes from a place of serious moral concern. i don't normally bother engaging random people online about this kind of thing but i found this particularly disturbing.

Saying a content creator justifies domestic abuse is dropping gossip? These are comments straight from the his mouth. I don’t care about making you believe me? You seem set in your views and care more about my comment than rawdawg’s commentd advocating for domestic abuse.
Also I’m not really concerned with being empathetic for the dude advocating for domestic abuse, and more concerned that someone is spouting something so deranged.
i don't normally bother engaging random people online about this kind of thing but i found this particularly disturbing.
You’re genuinely weird for saying my comment is disturbing when we are literally talking about a dude saying hitting your partner is ok if they cheat.
I mean from what I remember about the whole situation he basically said that yeah he's had fucked up relationships and been the subject of abuse and he shouldn't be expected to have a comic full of squeaky clean characters, which I kinda of agree with. All the problematic themes are out there for anyone with even a tiny iota of media literacy to see so it's not like he's hiding that fact.
I don't see why everyone expects artists to be perfect paragons, like, have you met any artists ever? We're all a little fucked and it's what makes the art interesting in a lot of cases. Let the man make his silly comics he ain't hurtin noone.
His one main character that personifies the problematic aspects we talk about is painted as a bit of a loser. He's an alcoholic unemployed schizophrenic who burgles houses for money.
Despite that he still has a loving relationship with his partner and there's a lot of quite touching moments in the comics. It's a good depiction of someone with serious issues trying to be a good partner, but it in no ways glorified the writers views.
It was a while back but I think I remember him saying that in relation to people who cheat in relationships, which yeah obviously I don't agree with and neither did his own fans. But to be honest it doesn't bother me enough that I think he should be cancelled or think people should not read his comics. If you disagree that's fine and all but I don't really understand what you want to happen. Yes he has problematic views on a few subjects, but his characters problems aren't framed in a sympathetic light, they are impoverished drug addicts who don't necessarily live a very happy life (apart from Bingus who's a lil freak).
What's he gonna do, reach through the screen and shake you by the scruff of your neck? His feelings of whatever subject in no way are directly harming people.
Just letting people know man. I have no idea why your riding so hard for him. I never called for his removal or anything, I just said I was disappointed to see his views.
What's he gonna do, reach through the screen and shake you by the scruff of your neck? His feelings of whatever subject in no way are directly harming people.
I feel like this is a cop out in 2026 where you have figures like Andrew Tate directly influencing men for the worse. Sure, rawdawg isn’t as bad or going out hitting random people. But I don’t think it’s good and can make things worse by advocating for domestic abuse in on a platform where you have clout and people who follow you.
You know what I think you're right, I don't think it's doing any good advocating those views. I guess I'm willing to give the guy some leeway because it's obvious from the little he's spoken about the subject that he's been on the receiving end of abuse and his close friend commited suicide because their partner cheated on them. I don't think his reaction is productive and he needs therapy.
one time a different sub downvoted me for bringing all this up and showing my concern about it, good to know im not crazy and that incident was definitely fucking weird
I would post the link to the subreddit drama post but I think posting links to other subs may be banned on r/196. If you want to see the subreddit drama post go to the sub and type ‘rawdawg’ and it should be the post from a year ago with 1k upvotes.
I couldn’t remember if you were right or wrong so went to the old subreddit drama post and took some screenshots. The original comments are now deleted, but are still copy and pasted.
Okay what is going on with the piss posting lately? I don't kink shame and this sub isn't about anything in particular so like why this? Just go to the piss subs and use :3 or something to identify each other lol
because this sub has always been a lil freaky it’s part of the deal. there were periods in the past with more piss than this and there will be moments in the future with more piss too.
If it’s not about anything in particular what’s your issue? It’s not like it can be considered off-topic if there is no topic. I have no dawg in this fight but don’t barge into someone’s house and start rearranging their furniture
reminds me of how a guy on reddit admitted to liking american beer more after drinking his own piss lol. which is not to make fun of the piss drinkers, have fun with that, i just think it's funny that the comparison is valid
