Ah. So

Comic author is generally flippant
Author writes about loss still felt for the death of a potential child years before.
Author flamed for - checks notes - karma whoring for empathy and reflection because that's not the kind of dancing they want their monkey to do.

Are we seriously penalizing an author for the first time he gets serious about something and reaches out with feelings? What kind of "mama is it time to build the wall?" kind of 'men-bad' persecution is this? How DARE he show a moment's emotional development in his writing?!? It can ONLY be selfish and exploitative because #kneejerk.

We can be better, people.
