She did a kickstarter for a book, had a mental break and supposedly burned the book copies, demanded everyone delete her content off the internet and never mention it again, called everyone who continued to share her webcomic awful and IIRC even said it was harassment to keep sharing her stuff, then a couple years later said it was all just a bit and she just did everything as a troll (A lot of people still did not get the book they paid her for)
We’ll treat it as a case of
Truly the worst crime of all: a trans woman having a mental breakdown and keeping some nerds from having their treats (a physical copy of a webcomic they've already read) (which they did actually later receive)
(Not everyone received their books that they paid for) (She said she faked the mental break)
Why are you this way? Faking a mental health episode for trolling purposes isn't a thing we just expect trans people to do, it's a messed up thing to do. Beyond the people who got mad, a bunch of people were worried she would hurt herself and she did it for a fucking joke.
Because it's incredibly obvious that she wasn't faking a mental health break and everyone with a modicum of empathy should be able to tell?
If you think a Blogpost titled "I faked having depression for profit on the internet" and a second Blogpost titled "I faked having faked depression for profit on the internet" should be taken at face value you are an idiot (not to mention the actual content of the Blogposts themselves make that even more clear)
OK except I'm not talking about her "I'm faking depression", "I'm faking faking depression" posts, but the whole kickstarter being a troll, the whole thing including burning the books deleting her website and pretending to have a mental health episode was pre planned.

This is frankly embarrassing on your part.
