There was really only one: https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/1dpptkk/talk/ The comic received a lot of hateful, abusive comments, like people saying they hope the artist is raped… … and some reasonable responses pointing out that re panel 3 that is exactly how people (men and women) often react to men trying to share about their mental health And re panel 2 (rape/robbery metaphor aside) male rape survivors are often not believed, told they should have been able to defend themselves, and in the case of female-on-male rape told they are lucky and should be grateful, that getting sex is always a good thing for a man. She responded to these comments badly, in particular belittling several male SA survivors who shared about their experiences. The reasonable comments were kinda lost in a sea of abuse, so I understand her overreacting to an extent And she more or less made an apology comic next week, where I appreciate the sentiment even if the dialogue is quite on-the-nose: https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/1dqhrhg/strong/ My verdict, she doesn’t hate men, she just made a mistake on one occasion.

    Thanks for sharing her followup comic. I agree with your verdict. The whole topic is tough to approach. Trying to tackle it with a comic probably wasn’t a great idea.
