I like her comic. It's satire. She doesn't agree with the misandry in the comic, you're supposed to think the women's opinions are wrong. She's on the men's side.

Yes, the comic is satire. The satire is "men getting treated the way female r*pe victims get treated". Implying that male sexual assault doesn't happen or that when it does, people actually believe them, when in reality men who are victims of this often just don't speak up at all because when they are, they're either not believed, called "gay" for not enjoying it, or it ends up reported with a headline like "female teacher has sex with male student".

The fact she posted this comic on men's mental health awareness day and proceeded to engage in arguments with male victims of SA in the comments - who were then banned without a chance to appeal - as well as her past of seeking out her critics to argue with even in other subreddits heavily indicates that this was inflammatory on purpose.

when in reality men who are victims of this often just don’t speak up at all because when they are, they’re either not believed, called “gay” for not enjoying it, or it ends up reported with a headline like “female teacher has sex with male student”.

Yes, that's how the real world treats male rape victims. This comic is about how fictional misandrists would treat a male robbery victims. Those are two different things. This fiction doesn't make implications about the situation you described.

Reading the responses of the women in the comic you seriously think this situation isnt a metaphor for sexual assault?

In your other thread of replies to me you're stating that it is but we're supposed to disagree with them. I'm not sure why you feel the need to defend her so strongly that you're simultaneously making 2 conflicting arguments and completely ignoring the other behavior I mentioned but I'm not really interested in continuing this discussion with you because I've presented the facts and it's clear you're personally unwilling to consider that this comic was made in bad faith

yes, she's a "bitch" because she...posted a comic about the double standards between men and women. irony so thick it could kill you if your skull was any thinner.

I mean, what she posted isn't even that bad. incels and simps get upset about it because they feel personally attacked, and they should.

if you get upset over her comics then you're telling on yourself.

...did you respond to the wrong person or are you just making shit up to be mad at because you don't have an argument?
