Solutions have been floated in the comics community that would allow us to "tag" content by placing the author of the comic in the title so that people could filter out content they don't want by using the filters Lemmy does have.

I understand why it wasn't adopted but it would solve this problem as well as the problem of indexing and prevent reposts of the same content.

Either way, people are allowed to like things. They're allowed to dislike things. But messing it up for everyone over the trivial and subjective idea that someone doesn't like something that doesn't hurt anyone is I think what a lot of the comments are calling out.

There are actualities where artists are doing real harm and those have valid criticism (looking at you JKR). But the dislike this artist often seems to get can be equated to the hate that Nickelback get. Like. I'm not presenting them as the best band to ever have lived. Not by a longshot. But they aren't like... Terrible? And music taste is subjective so what are people dunking on them hardcore for?

That is to say it seems like hating pizza cake is trending and that's why so many people have to tell you they're vegan they hate her art.

Sorry to the vegans for the joke. Y'all are alright. I just don't share your distaste for meat and milk.
