Linus decided to us AI on the kernel and decided to have an snappy attitude about it ( fork it or leave? Really man?)

Graf Zahl: "first time?"

Deathaster

no that's still being trans

Reminds me of the sequel to Charlie's Inferno, where the whole music video is made using AI because it's clowning on soulless cash grab sequels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01ecm4_EJNs

While their criticism could use some work (it's not very constructive, since they didn't offer advice nor say what *did* work), people don't need to specifically ask for criticism to receive it. Once you publish something for others to see, they're free to give their input. Whatever you do with that input is up to you, either listen and learn from it (if you think it applies), or just ignore it (if you think it doesn't).

I'm not saying you should have listened to them (because I feel they missed the point of your comic in the first place), but they were valid in offering their own opinion, even if it was unprompted.

She could just be German. And when have Germans ever been murderous psychos?

Deathaster

Girl... please have some standards and stop chasing after a guy that doesn't want you. You can do so much better than him. Like the devil! Just kill him and move on.

Deathaster

Why are you censoring the word "rape"? Isn't that kind of playing into the problem, that these things can't be publicly discussed?

Deathaster

you look like a wolf

She made him into a woman, she just didn't change his body. So he's experiencing dysphoria.

I'm aware that Alina would be into it, because she's an attention-starved, sex-crazed exhibitionist. But not the other one, who's portrayed as being just a regular woman.

Like, if Yosemite Sam blows up a train full of orphans, that's one thing. But it'd be another thing if Joe Average then went "Yeah no that's reasonable, go ahead".

Deathaster

"Harassed girls actually do like being harassed" sure is a take.

But considering the author's comic about "woman's self-defense class is turned into sex lesson because they'd rather have sex than defend themselves", I'm not surprised. These are pretty misogynistic sometimes.

Deathaster

What do we learn, kids? Always assume the worst in people and be as negative as humanly possible, because your insults can make someone realize their mistake!

No, but seriously, I wish people had been less extremely toxic about the whole thing, even if their points were justified. Still not a fan of the mods nuking the entire thread and banning everyone instead of just locking it down.

But I'm very glad you got the wake-up call. I just hope you can move on and learn from the whole thing. It seemed to have sucked for everybody involved, but it's in the past. The only thing left to do now is to try not to do the same mistakes again. Best of luck to you, OP.

Deathaster

Yup, reporting this one for noncon/feminization. Utterly disgusting post, OP. /j

This sub talks more about her than the Harry Potter one

cwcl users when they have to not talk about jkr for .0001 seconds:

She's not a bad person for voicing her dissatisfaction/concerns/worries, and at least she worded everything in the comic as "I think he's X" rather than "he's X" (which puts the emphasis more on her view of him rather than his personal qualities). If this had been a vent post on r/GirlDinnerDiaries, I doubt many people would have cared. Yeah, sometimes relationships suck, and it sucks to be in them, and it sucks to be aware of how much they suck but not knowing what to do.

However, people are justified in calling out just how toxic this sounds. He has a lot of expectations in him, while she herself admits she doesn't offer much. And yet, she continues making him out to be the bad guy. Again, this is HER perception, she doesn't claim this to be objective. But since this is only her perception, people are allowed to point out the double standards, because she might not be able to see them herself. So if commenters are going "From the way you make it sound, you should just break up for the sake of both of you", it should be a wake-up call for her.

I think it's also worth mentioning that this is only her side of the story, and we don't know how her boyfriend sees her. While I'm empathetic towards her struggles, I can't fully take her side. There are plenty of people that will downplay their own shortcomings, which happens all too often on Reddit. It's likely he's struggling with the relationship in a similar manner, and doesn't just "lub his girlfriemb". Depicting him as a chuddy little chud chud also feels very demeaning and further muddles her point. If this was just her venting her personal frustrations, then portraying him as an asocial loser makes it feel more like punching down.

I don't think this relationship (if it's even real and not just a fictitious story) is a healthy one. I'm not sure it can be fixed by a dialogue between the two. It seems more like she's projecting her own flaws onto him just so she doesn't need to deal with him. These are deeper issues that are going to ruin even the best of relationships if they're not tackled.

Half the comics on this sub are just lukewarm jokes or ideas with a porn panel as a bonus to lure people to their Patreon.

Deathaster

This comic creator has some of the most boomer ahh takes imaginable. A lot of it boils down to "technology bad" or straight-up misogyny lol

Taking someone else's art and running it through the AI slop filter should result in an immediate ban ngl

Guys, insinuating someone is trans after they've already specified they're cis ain't cool.
