“Curse of The Author”, December 22, 2023: In this podcast episode, I talk about a comic I did…(he talks about this recent incident of being hated on by everyone on Twitter like halfway through, and mentions the Hesse X JoCat social media harassment incident) https://www.hausofdecline.com/episodes/1/1655962

      I don’t think bmf cares about or even reads tone critique given how they keep getting iced for sectarianism every few months

        That much is probably true, but it’s kind of wild how hexbear claims not to be ableist and then takes such a massively condescending tone to someone seemingly for their writing being so colored by their neurodivergence. You aren’t, to be clear, but it’s most of the thread every time.

        Idk, a huge amount of the website is an inch away from saying they just openly despise ASD (etc.) people who don’t conform to a very . . . particular idea of what that means.

        I expect most users who recognize my username at this point will tell me to go fuck myself for saying that, but that doesn’t mean I’m wrong

              I think you’re insinuating that BMF is neurodivergent and therefore us making them into a meme is ableism. Not sure I agree for two point.

              1: i don’t really see any clear indicators they’re neurodivergent. Neurotypical people can just be weird poster sometimes.

              2: we don’t know if this person actually is BMF, and not just someone doing a long bit.

              3: OG BMFs style was pretty in line with weirdo-counterculture-remnants-Maoism from the 70s-80s, I think their OG style is just a holdover of that no any sign of being on the spectrum or whatever. My theory is they’re just some dude who’s mom was in a weird Weather Underground splinter reading group in Ann Arbor.
