Plebcomics
Plebcomics is a webcomic blog on Tumblr run by a female artist known only as AbbySucks. For reasons that will become apparently, it is unclear when the blog itself first went up; the earlier known references to her work date back to February-March 2014.
Unlike the common cliche of many Tumblr users, Plebcomics is largely known for satirical commentaries on various stereotypes and rhetorics associated with the social justice activist community on Tumblr and elsewhere. This, unfortunately, quickly drew the ire of said ideologues and social justice warriors. This reached a nadir in December 2014, when the blog's owner was doxxed by critics who posted her personally identifiable information and generally attempted to discredit her altogether; even going so far as to contact her employer into firing her. This resulted in many of her posts removed and her personal life almost ruined. In more recent times however, she's not only gotten back up on her feet but also gone back to form in her sharp commentary, attracting more popularity in the process.
The blog can be found here.
- Big Name Fan: Of sorts to Gamergate, as she's expressed pro-GG support.
- Political Correctness Gone Mad: She was a victim of this thanks to the doxxing and attempts by her critics to discredit her. Ultimately defied however in that she was able to get back up on her feet with the help of supporters. Her work meanwhile is very much about satirizing this trope in Tumblr and elsewhere.
- Portmanteau: The blog's name is a combination of "plebeian" and "comics."
- Reality Subtext: Many of the comics tend to be based on actual social justice warriors, "activists" and ideologues in action.
- Satire: Many of her comics are these.
- Straw Feminist: One criticism thrown against her is how she's doing this in her comics. Though it doesn't help that said comics aren't too far from actual examples.
- Unfortunate Implications: Not her work in particular, but rather the material she satirizes comes across as rife with these. As this demonstrates.
