Even ignoring whatever side you want to take on this issue, this was one of your least funny articles yet. It's just lacking in humor straight up.

The article mentions the misconception her employers only now found out she’s quitting.
One last thing: I keep seeing this take floating around, and as her employee and collaborator, I am going to say a couple of things. 1) we are not fired. The post literally spells out that we are still getting paid. 2) This news was not news to us. You can stop speculating. ✌️

On her own accord after being bullied off the internet so hard she can't even stomach to do what she's known for anymore.

“Satire is meant to ridicule power. If you are laughing at people who are hurting, it's not satire, it's bullying.” ― Terry Pratchett What even is the joke here? That "she should have grown a thicker skin, something-something-bootstraps"? That internet hate mobs don't exist?

I'm not sure how you can get through that harrowing, absolutely heartbreaking post she made on Patreon, and end up with "this will make for a good satire on futility of cancel culture". Huge miss, all you did is feed the crowd rejoicing after she left.

Ha ha, person quits because she cannot endure the stress of working for an audience that regularly attacks her for practically nothing. Laugh at the tired resignation of a person who has been abused by internet psychos for months because she compared two things. Lol, lmao, rofl.
