So You’ve Been Targeted By Alt-Right Comics Trolls: a thread.
1. You can totally get through this! There are very few of them and their tactics are pretty pathetic and transparent.
2. Mute or block, your choice. chrome.google.com/webstore/detai… is your friend - hit EvS or DnC and you’re good. Personally, I just mute (more fun to leave these losers whining into the void), but up to you
3. Adjust your twitter notification settings. My quality filter is on, and here are what my advanced settings are:
4. Kinds of trolls! First is the combative, “answer me right now” troll. Oh honey, I don’t even answer my mother right now. I don’t owe you shit. Mute.
5. The blackface troll: 5 followers, new account, “as a black / queer / latino person I...” uh-huh. Bye.
6. The “you’re racist” troll. As in, you’re racist against white people. Hmm, I think I’m going to do my nails. I like this red shade, it’s called The Blood of My Enemies. Or maybe this gold one, called All The Money I Earn In The Industry You Failed Out Of. Bye.
7. The Concern Troll. “As a longtime fan of yours I’m shocked to find out you’re an SJW / anti-white...” Baby, pull the other one, it’s got bells on. Seeya in mutesville, population: you
They will try as hard as they can to engage you in conversation for about a week, but presumably unlike them, you have pro deadlines and a life so they’re pretty easy to ignore. They’re kinda sad, really, but hey, you can hate or you can hustle and they made their choice
As a pro creator, the only thing you have to worry about is if they torpedo one of your projects by buying up all the copies from stores and burning them. That could injure me, badly. So let’s hope they don’t have the courage to wipe out Twisted Romance when it hits shelves
Popping back in to say two last things: 1. Screencap and save any hate speech as soon as you see it.2. All those different kinds of trolls I mentioned? They’re often the SAME PERSON w a bunch of sockpuppets. ISTG, all of “comicsgate” is four incels in San Bernadino.
