Yeah I found it there too. I think I was there for the start of all the drama. I didn’t find the way she handled the the whole thing appealing either but I saw some of the initial harassment and the bans from the mods that followed. I think the bans were appropriate for the harassment. The thing I noticed that followed that was a bunch of sock puppet accounts that would show up and post the “not funny” comments. That was all they posted. Eventually people caught on to that and many of those got banned too but the pattern was carried on by others. I don’t fault her for not reacting gently to people who’s only contribution is to show up in her posts to tell her that she isn’t funny. What’s the point of an interaction like that? Also that it exactly echoed the sock puppet accounts always felt suspicious. It seemed to me that the normal reaction to a comic that doesn’t appeal is to be disinterested and scroll on. That is what I see for most comics that just don’t cut it, tumbleweeds in the comments. The compulsion to post about not liking it so consistently in her comics seems unique.
Well, as I mentioned, I don’t even open comic posts unless I notice comments already listed. Then I’ll add my $0.02. Since I don’t typically like it, my comment will be in the negative.
I just find it odd that some people are so compelled to comment or join in on the comments for just pizzacake comics.
I personally found this crap on Reddit and OP would make snide comments. Big turn off.
No, I have zero links as documentation. Just a memory of actually reading some dumb shit.

The fun of the bandwagon.
