    I can see that people don’t always know how to word their critique. But the point is simple: This is a toxic way to deal with that type of annoyance in your life. It’s a comic, indeed, maybe not meant to be taken seriously, but I would much better see comics about interesting, or fun things. This type of ordinary, sarcastic social commentary you present as a comic does not help your cause nor make the sub a better place. Let’s not perpetrate the “owning” culture so prevalent in social media. Shall you?

    At first, I thought people were exaggerating by calling her comics a strawman, as the situation mentioned in the comic above happens too commonly.

    I did a little digging and found this deleted thread.

    To my surprise she turned out exactly like people she seems to be calling out.

    Edit: added url

    Edit 2: She didn’t respond and went radio silent on people who shared their experience and called her out.

    Edit 3 : Found this in the same thread

    lol, this feels like the convo in a nutshell…

    Alice: “Bob, I’ll bet you could never imagine what it would feel like if X happened to you.”

    Bob: “Actually X has happened to me.”

    Alice: “Jesus fucking Christ, Bob! Not everything’s about you!”

    Yup. This checks all of the “that is definitely how people talk”-boxes. It’s like an invented dialogue meets a fantasy answer.

    Can we not have AIop being upvoted to the top? Thanks.

    Why is it that everytime I see this artist nowadays it’s just a preachy kill-a-strawman comic? I remember them being funny back in the day, what happened? Did they change, did I? Am I mistaking a shite copycat for an artist I remember fondly? Is this what senility feels like? How was your day?

    Instead of becoming an incel, you should first consider acting like the woman in this comic when somebody doesn’t want to date you.

    Honestly if someone is referring to themselves as “high value” anything then it’s pretty clearly a low value thought. Doesn’t really matter who they are.

    I feel like this is one of those conversations you make up in your head and it’s kinda cringe to write it down.

      Just look at this thread. People are out in force acting superior to her and putting her down for having an only fans. Theyre providing unsolicited feedback, acting “high valued” without even realize theyre doing it. This comic is showing how she sees the unsolicited feedback from these people on the internet, and calls it out as it is, inconsequential to her life. And what do those very same people do? Get even more upset.

      Frankly, i knew nothing about this lady before this thread happened. It’s been a wild ride for me to follow
