dottiness ([info]dottiness) wrote in [info]unfunny_fandom,
Um, I can't find any lings, but in summary! Some dudes made vaguely creepy compliments to Kate Beaton
(like "You're sexy and I would like to marry you, we would have sexy genius children together"), she ranted about how such compliments were disingenuous on Twitter, and immediately all the privileged dudebro guys on the entire internet turned out in force to tell her about how she had no reason to be offended. Shit like "you're taking it too seriously" and "if I ever got a compliment like that, I'd be flattered." You know, the stuff they routinely say about women who complain about getting catcalled.

This comic is the one that got made about it and it's a pretty fair summary.
