if you dropped mallorie like a rock for making a comic about shoplifting, you need to take a hard fucking look at yourself.

i am side-eyeing several specific people right now.

she did not deserve the mobbing she got, which was overwhelmingly right-wing chuds who don't give a fuck about cashiers, and a number of people I immensely respected decided to join in, or just to passively unfriend and unfollow her.

That is an incredibly shitty thing to do to someone being targeted by a gigantic mob. I cannot believe some of the people I know who did that.

People who have THEMSELVES been targeted like that. But I guess because nobody called it webcomicsgate it's fine.

It's all I can do not to call out people specifically. But that's not my fight to have.

Twitter mobs are bad. Full stop. I don't even give a fuck who you're mobbing anymore. Unless it's a person actively advocating hate crimes or something, you've got no excuse.

but nah, you gotta go give yourself the pleasure of Being Right even when no harm is being done. What a fun rush, dunking on someone who has no power to harm you back!

I'm done now.
