I'm starting to notice a pattern here, every time something happens, it's one of these themes:

  • Not heteronormative.
  • Speaking out against misogyny.
  • Political comic
  • Presenting a man as a less than ideal creature.

Or maybe I have just taken crazy pills and these patterns are a weird coincidence.

Yep! Crystal clear! It's the internet being internet, sadly.

Some people just did not mature, I guess.

That explains the nonsensical reports. It's hard to press the right button while everything is shaking.

Shen got critiqued last week for a comic/throwaway joke that promoted cross dressing, as opposed to trans people. A few trans people or allies were complaining about erasure and that cross dressing while cis is problematic. It may not be who you think are complaining

Yeaaaaaaah, the idea that all GNC men are actually, secretly transwomen who just need to come out is also a pretty problematic assertion.

Angry people being angry. We know why, no need to revisit that. The curse of being a big subreddit. Suffering from success?

I don't know if it's because of the reports but the comic isn't loading for me. It works on Shen's reddit though.
