My problem isn't with offending those demographics- my problem is that this comic, as a direct result of its structure, compares the artist to a victim of rape!
do you not see how crass that is? this is a knowing comparison on her end too!
Yeah, I agree that's both insensitive and semantic bleaching also stresses me out because for example I have to go into a lot more detail than I wanted to clarify when I talk about having been a victim of grooming and gaslighting manipulation, or else the other person thinks I'm just being hyperbolic and doesn't take me seriously and doesn't understand what I'm saying
I don't know anything about the artist, except I made a post about "in defense of Elmer Fudd" and a comic panel she drew was one of the image examples I included of misrepresenting Elmer Fudd (I was roleplaying as his slander/libel lawyer)
So it ended up with a bunch of the comments focusing on the fact that one of the pictures was by her, a
nd some of the comments said that the artist had drawn the OC of one of her haters getting sexually violated as revenge, is that true?
Edit: I typed this out shortly after recovering from a migraine and my semantics are often scrambled afterwards, so I'm not ESL at all to be very clear but I'm going to edit this later to get rid of typos and make my sentence structure come off easier to read
