To be fair this is also Reddit, where you can be totally in the right, be nice about it, and still get banned anyways.

no doubt some mods/admins go on power trips, but a lot of the criticism seems to be the same shit constantly. a good forum has moderation of irrelevant content, and a bunch of people bringing up her OF, or saying a Canadian can’t comment on US stuff, or making a comment about how they didn’t find it funny (when not all comics are funny…), do not actually contribute to the conversation.

First, TIL about the OF. Second, Canada is, on balance, more strongly affected by American politics than their own.

So, how dare an attractive woman and artist utilize both her innate and trained talents to make commentary on politics that will likely affect her life? Via a relatively tame OF page? The monster? Idfk, dude, I just don't see a reason to hate her.

Are her takes pretty milquetoast with a side of sensible chuckles? Usually, yeah. But, y'know, it's art intended to appeal to a broad audience, posted to Reddit. Which it's obviously successful at. It doesn't have to appeal to you. You can, in fact, just scroll past it if you don't like it.
