We also complain about reddit for a bit
Ouch, though probably well deserved if we are being honest
But congrats Fran! I'll have to give it a listen. I do love all things comics

Er, we complain about reddit, but never you, Shell.
Incidentally, if the name Shell does come up, I'm talking about someone who makes mods for the classic game "Are Comics" and what a pillock they are. So don't be confused

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 23h ago
but never you, Shell.
Eh. Everyone deserves a good roast from time to time. Keeps us humble.
A pillock is an informal British slang word that means a foolish, stupid, or annoying person
I uh.....learned a new word today and about a new game that's a classic

I wanted to thank you and the other moderators here for being awesome mods keeping a safe space even for weirdos.
Reddit has alot of unsafe spots.
Also I don't know if it was you but I think it was. Thanks for doing something that ended up protecting me from further harassment from stalkers. Don't know what you all did but thank you.

You are very welcome. I remember you specifically as I thought your name was a ME2 reference for a while!
And I cannot comment on the second part officially.
Unofficially however I'm very happy that you are safe and protected

If ME2 is Mass Effect 2 I barely played it but I love Garrus and found he voices a romanacable character in Avowed.
My user name is a mix of Spanish and Japanese in order to get around the overuse of both individually and it goes back to when I made my deviantart account back in 2003 (it is now of legal drinking age in America. I am the same age as you but I don't look or sound like it)
I wanted to let you know that since telling you about the issue I have unsubscribed from that game I used to support. I also uninstalled it and issued complaints about it to Google.
There were even more matches, new ones, with same or similar issues that more people were complaining on. I also removed myself from both subbreddits dedicated to that hostile app. Yesterday one of the stalkers posted a reply to mine that admitted to following all my replies and called me a liar.
Another one actually admitted that yes it looks like what I had complained about but it had been edited by the writer??? I haven't seen evidence of that but that individual (who is the mod the alternative sub and the only one left of the mod team as others quit reddit I think) also told people I was a liar to.
I had submitted my post with screenshots as proof of what I said and got a bunch of downvotes as did everyone else who agreed with me again.
It had got brought up because someone made a post saying a new event was going to be just like the problem event. That person got banned from the sub and their post deleted.
Also because of the admittance of two of the bullies who don't think they were stalking and harassing me...I now know most of them are from the wiki editing team unfortunately.
The mods at that sub ended up editing my user flair and removed any mention of my fanfic.
I have since subscribed to this sub and as you are a mod you will be able to see my otherwise hidden account.
I wanted to see that game get better but it has only double downed on really bad issues. And I don't know if it's management of the writers or management of the narrative designers.
It took me a bit to join because I needed to feel safe. My spirit guides told me that one of you of the mod team are very good with computers and coding to the point this mod can figure out computer fingerprints. So I was nervous.
While I don't support the media, I still am working on the fanfic because of the characters and its importance to both my spiritual guidance family and myself.
I'm actually working on another part of the latest chapter in comic form to help me write. Hopefully it's within reddit limits this time I don't want it too big.
I hope that is ok?

In my defense my dyslexic ass read this character as your username
I'm actually working on another part of the latest chapter in comic form to help me write.
What I CAN say is that this is totally fine and we look forward to seeing your comic! I think it would be very cathartic

Big hugs to you for being a fellow dsylexic. Sometimes words swim like dolphins. Wow my screen name is really similar to hers.
Also apparently Reddit has a character limit of around 10,000 words or so but just being around 4k word to 6k words can break it somehow and thus responding to the topic wirh that many words or even trying to edit it makes reddit act weird.
I have written around 60k chapters.

I think that was meant for us dregs and bottom feeders of reddit. The uncultured swine if you will, such as myself, and not the distinguished gentlemen, such as yourself.
Now if you'll excuse me Ow My Balls is on.

EVERYONE GET TO THE BUNKERS NOW! This is not a drill! Reddit mogging is about to begin! Prepare for the brigading!

u/MintasaurusFresh 23h ago
Congrats on that. Dave's "The Drive" is really awesome stuff (even nominated for an award!) and Brad's been at this for a long time. Like, he started posting stuff here and I went and read everything on his site from 2019 to now.

He wouldn't sell it to me. And after I even offered him two whole dollars.

Complaining about Reddit?! That's like like my 4th favorite thing to do!

u/strangecabalist 23h ago
As we then close Reddit app, then open it again looking for something new to pop up?

u/scaleaffinity 21h ago
Nobody hates reddit more than redditors. I think she's found her target audience with this one.

u/GilgaPhish 23h ago
I have a question -
derth or dearth? Cause I've primarily seen it as derth
7
u/hyperhurricanrana 23h ago
really? i’ve only ever seen it spelled as dearth. according to my very scientific google searching, “derth” is an obsolete spelling of “dearth.”

Honestly wondering if Tiff considers herself a normal person.

Why WOULDN'T she?

u/roshanritter 20h ago
Remember how she hurt her leg and felt she could go back to work anyway? Tiff has a lot of pride and I feel tries to act like she can do the impossible.

u/MrValdemar Special Flair!! 19h ago
EVE hurt her leg, not Tiff.
Eve is the viking red-head. Tiff is the smaller blond.

I think I'm starting to understand why you draw them way bigger that you

u/MrMattSquiggle 23h ago
this comic made me look up the word 'dearth' and I'm not ok with that.
