Nobody is safe from me
A furry webcomic with a little lesbian jackalope on the phone, the jackalope is the artist of this comic's fursona. This is me.

Jackalope: Hey! I wanted to call and ask if it's alright for me to draw you in one of my comicsA slipt screen woth the jackalope and the woman she is talking with 

Woman: sure, that's okay, but one question...Woman: you're not going to draw me as a furry, are you?

The jackalope is silent, and pleased with herself 

Woman: ...Enery?Now we see the woman from the front, and she is a cat girl. She also may or may not be based off the comic artist shaveyoureyebrows 

Woman: Am I going to be a furry?!

Strawman: you furries are even wrong with modern society. Anyone back in the day would be disgusted by youNarration says "thousands of years ago..." and now we are in ancient Egypt, two women stand in front of a depiction of anubis

Woman 1: is it just me or is anubis kinda...

Woman 2: Yeah I'd fuck that

Executioner: emery wardin, you are to be executed for crimes against lesbians, do you have any final remarks?Close up on the jackalope in the guillotine, Emery Wardin, who looks annoyed

Emery: I'm literally a lesbian who makes comics about being lesbian! What's could I have possibly done to deserve this?!The executioner holds up a folder full of paper, titled "Emerys yaoi folder"

Executioner: Girl. We found the Yaoi. By the way, why is this folder so bigThe jackalope now looks done

Executioner: Oh my God, there is so much Batman x Superman in here. And is this-
Enery: drop the blade already, my parents read these comics

Now that there's the essay that debunked Cleves' claims, I'd like to emphasize the point I made previously about the Tillie Walden situation I've NEVER seen someone accuse such a prominent artist of plagiarism and NOT provide specific examples. No examples, little believability imo

I'm going to spoil the Final Weirdness because I don't expect anyone to read that far. I wasn't sure I should put this in the post at first, but every friend I mentioned it to put their jaw on the floor; Cleves, who is trying to torpedo a lesbian artist's career, is married to a tech VP guy.
Several commenters were annoyed by the focus on Walden's personal life, and pushed back to say that, well, wasn’t Cleves a queer person too? D&Q weren't directly arguing that Walden, a married lesbian in Vermont, had a particular identity-based right to tell this story that wasn't shared by the tenured Canadian, but they also weren't not arguing that.

It wasn't until I’d read both books cover-to-cover that I got a hunch as to why D&Q tossed out all these personal identity comments. Walden's book is suffused with elements drawn from her own life in Vermont with her family. She dedicates her book to her wife, Emma. In the afterword, she calls Emma "the Charity to my Sylvia."

Cleves, at the end of her book, gives a crowning acknowledgement to her husband, Timothy Cleves. She says "His excellence as a husband is a great argument for why marriage should be an equal right for all people."

I'm nosy, so I found his LinkedIn. There's a 'Timothy Cleves' profile with a location in the same town where Cleves works as an academic. He is the VP of Business Development at a communications tech company. Perhaps this is why D&Q leaned into both Walden's lesbian identity and her status as a family breadwinner living on a marginal and unpredictable income.

When I mentioned this to a friend, they reminded me that Cleves had tagged her original callout post with #pride.

out it goes: my long post about Rachel Hope Cleves's claim that Tillie Walden plagiarised her book. It's long because Cleves's claim is much, much more bizarre than it looked on first reading. I'm not going to bury the lede here. Cleves's claim does not hold up. buttondown.com/thene/archiv...
stick a pin in this metaphor

…because these covers are a microcosm of the entire conflict; Walden's book is mostly built on writing and other objects left by Sylvia Drake, Charity Bryant, and others. Her work includes many elements from these records that Cleves does not refer to in her book, and many of her interpretations of those records are different from Cleves's interpretations, often intentionally so. In addition to her historical basis, Walden's book includes fictional dialogue and story elements that are original to her work, some of which are inspired by Walden's own life.

This is the closest thing to vent art I'm willing to make lmao
A furry comic where there is a little lesbian jackalope, she takes a swig of beer and slams the bottle back on the bar counter, she is clearly a bit tired

Jackalope: I need a rich lesbian to treat me as her purse dog and let me draw funny pictures for her while I reap the rewards of her wealth The camera zooms out, she is sitting next to her friend who is a golden retriever girl, the friend looks concerned

Dog girl: I thought you hated rich people

The jackalope's head thunks down against the counter, possibly in exhaustion

A furry webcomic where a little lesbian jackalope is smiling and holding a comic that says "Man who is Super" the jackalope is a stand-in for the creator of this comic, yes saying this is relevant 

Jackalope: Wow! The artist for this comic is so good!

The jackalope pulls out her phone, excited 

Jackalope: I want to see more of his art! I'm totally going to follow his socials!She pulls up the most recent post of the artist for "Man Who is Super" he's absolutely jacked. The caption on his post reads:

"Just finished 100 reps in the gym, time to get back to the studio and work on the next "Man who is Super" issue"The jackalope looks forlorn at the reader, at YOU! 

Jackalope: I wonder how it feels to be God's favorite

I haven't read either books so I won't weigh in on the credibility of whether or not the whole Tillie Walden situation is legally speaking, plagiarism, but I will say that I've never seen someone accuse plagiarism against a prominent artist and NOT provide specific examples

Everyone drop your most despised (for purely petty reasons) video game character below
A comic with a little lesbian jackalope angrily playing a game on a Nintendo switch, the back of the console says "Nyantendo Switch" though. Also, the switch is drawn properly proportioned. She is yelling at the game

Jackalope: I HATE YOU. I fucking HATE YOU. WHY ARE YOU IN THIS GAME. WHY DO YOU EXIST.They show her screen, it's from a mario bros game, the character Toad is on the screen, he seems happy and full of whimsy 

Toad: Hi! <3

The jackalope looks down at her switch in pure contempt

I think this is what's called "falling upward"
A comic of two sapphic / lesbian furry or anthro women, one a jackalope, one a cat, are dancing together 

The jackalope thinks, "we just started randomly dancing together, she's so cute, I should probably introduce myself, that's the move here, right?"The jackalope says "hey I'm Em, by the way!"

Cat: "Hi, Im-"

Jackalope interrupts her, holding a stack of papers and clearly nervous: "and this is my CV, credit score, rental history-"

Narration box at the bottom says, "Dear readers, this is not what actually happened, but it is what it felt like in hindsight"Cat grabs the jackalope's shoulder and says "you are so fucking cute"Jackalope is happily stunned, with their thoughts of AHHHHHHHHHHH in the background and the narration box says "*task failed successfully*"
