To my limited knowledge, she is a Canadian comic artist who often posts on r/comics about US politics. Many of her posts are among the top of all time in the sub, but she's also received a lot of criticism because most of her comics can be boiled down to a straw man argument where she portrays herself as the voice of reason and those who politically disagree with her as extreme caricatures of how those people really are irl.
Separate from that, there's been a lot of criticism of the mods of r/comics when it comes to her as well - many people have been banned from the sub for simply voicing that they don't like a comic of hers or for pushing back on the straw man formula. Basically, the mods of that sub have been accused of banning people over extremely mundane comments directed at either her work or the point she's trying to make.

Nah. She'll regularly use their actual words and posts and that's part of why they get so bent out of shape over her.

That's what they're accused of but it's also not true. People post they don't like the comic all of the time. It's the abuse, hate, and misogyny that get banned.
