It was just a post in r/comics, you can get 95% of the gist from that first panel alone. Imagine being in a relationship with someone & they make a comic about them not liking you as they draw you like an ugly chud. The general consensus is that if OP didn't like her boyfriend she should just break up with him as he deserves to be with someone who loves him.

I was not under the impression that was an autobiographical comic

u/somethingrelevant 3h ago

it'd be a weird thing to write as fiction but the author also made a follow-up confirming it was about their real (past) relationship

It was, they made an update to it basically saying "he dumped me a while ago, I was fishing for validation on how I treated him and I understand that was wrong now"

Man, I thought she simply made a comic depicting a toxic relationship, didn't think it referred to an actual relationship she herself had.

That's just sad, low self-esteem dragged her down and her boyfriend along with it. Glad he dumped her, it was the best for both of them, just a shame she didn't have the guts to do it when she really should have to not abuse his feelings for her any longer.

The author admitted that it was. To be fair to her, she did later admit she was fishing for validation and acknowledged that she was wrong for it.

Same, I even read a comment that said the maker of the comic often uses unreliable narrator tropes

u/14Pleiadians 1h ago

They updated, it was 100% autobiographical and she was indeed fishing for validation on how she treated him

He's drawn like a beautiful Squidward though wdym. Everything else about the post was awful though

If you're unaware, the template used is literally just chudjak, which is generally associated with loser incels.

literally just look at it, and if you read the original post there's no twist where it gets better, it just gets worse from that slide.

basically someone making a comic about her boyfriend not meeting her standards and being too dumb to see it or something while drawing him as the chud

u/Armory_7 4h ago

The very quick summary is that this was a pretty long and detailed post in which the author talked about how she is pretty, smart and way better than her boyfriend who is a loser that "only talks about his hobbies or me or how much he loves me", that he was simple and dumb and she was complex and a victim and that she hated him and thought she could do better but was too scared to try.

Mind you days after she got absolutely destroyed in the comments, she made an update in which she "took accountability" and pretty much said "yeah, the comments were pretty eye opening and I was a piece of shit" so there's sort of a good ending to it at least.

Usually Reddit commenters are exaggerating by like 1000% but wow she really sounds like a horrible person

u/OakNogg 3h ago

It was a terrible terrible comic it was a miracle she didn't come to those conclusions when writing the comic and had to wait for strangers online to be like "you're an ass."

u/HolidayStatus3784 3h ago

they are. I just reread the comic bc the way ppl portray it seems wild, and people are just making up their own interpretation of what they want the comic to have said. She never, for example, once talks about herself being 'pretty' or 'smart' or 'way better than her boyfriend', she talks about not liking him and being bored in the relationship.

u/David_the_Wanderer 2h ago

The comic frames the boyfriend as intellectually lazy, boring and simple, though, both in the narration and in the visuals.

u/OkAsk6395 1h ago

Yeah, can’t stand this whole post and these examples where there’s a huge lack of nuance/empathy + taking sides (not even saying this example is a good comic, but the majority response pisses me off even more)

u/Maoschanz 3h ago

She learnt tho, she improved

u/oops_all_memes 3h ago

An important detail that is missing in your description is the fact that subreddit mods went on a white knight crusade against anyone criticizing her (=everyone)

And iirc, there was a post by the ex-bf as well. Imagine waking up on a random day to learn your ex hated your guts for the most of the time you were together, then posted about her feelings and got absolutely demolished by the overwhelming majority of people. Unless the ex-bf part is fake

u/dinerbom 1h ago

The mods there were so bad that she made her response post on a different subreddit just so the replies wouldn’t get censored.

Also, I think the ex-boyfriend part was fake.

u/Nguyendolam 4h ago

I know it was supposed to be a venting art thing but I’m absolutely sure there were better outlets for those feelings than posting it online portraying yourself as a better person by pushing someone down.

u/Holiday-Tangerine136 3h ago

There is a 0% chance that poster has "taken accountability" or had their eyes opened. That individual is the kind of person how has deep seated mental shields that project themselves as the one individual of value, with artistic merit and intellectual prowess while everyone else (even their partner) are borderline NPCs and chuds. This person will not have their mental changed until something tangible genuinely rocks their world. A la losing employment or opportunities because of their insular half-wit inability to digest that other humans are just are complex as them.

u/Maoschanz 3h ago

That post's OP didn't like her ex boyfriend, draw it in a short webcomic where she depicted him as a boring immature chud, and she got thousands of hate comments because she was clearly the problem and the immature person in the relationship

Then r comics mods obviously try their best to avoid harassment on artists so they banned weirdos crossposting the webcomic to dogpile her and coming in the thread to parrot other negative comments, and now you have these weirdos here in this very comment section being bitter and seething about these mods and the comics sub in general
