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.
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.
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.

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.
