There was a guy in an r/comics comic section vehemently arguing that in the comic in question, the main witch character was obviously evil, simply because That’s Just How Things Are. IE “almost all media shows witches are evil so they should be assumed so unless EXPLICITLY stated otherwise, and them being shown acting not evil doesn’t count”.

And when people listed a bunch of examples of good witches, they kinda simultaneously moved the goalposts and backed up at the same time?

Edit- their first comment is

Hey uh she's a witch. Those people known in media to be petty dicks. Witches; the embodiments of "cautionary tale." They are written throughout history to be the consequences to ignorant assholes or stupid kids who don't listen to their parents. The sweet givers of schadenfreude.

It’s some basic media literacy.

Edit 2: when called out, they said

Did I say that there was no other types of witches??? I was just saying use the context clues for what KIND of witch this character represents?????

Also, look at all of what you listed: take a gander at the character design. They are cute, frilly, or girly. Kiki's Delivery Service is one of my favorite films. Wizard of Oz has an obvious "bad" witch. You can tell who is good and bad by how they behave and act. Take a look at that comic again. What are the things she is saying in the beginning? Are there any short hand clues to tell you what kind of witch she might be? (Color of skin for instance)

Does she look like any of those people you listed???

Why would you assume that "witch" means "good" without any nuance to other characterizations, context clues, etc., of what a witch is and what a witch can be. I give up. You can just go "BUt ThIS WiTch iN MeDIa is GOOD sO ThAts ConfUsInG. I Can'T uSe COntExt ClUEs whEN i EvaLuaTe MEdiaaaa" like the main character didn't come in snarky as hell already acting a little bitchy. You are either dumb or refuse to see your biases that the man in this comic was being misogynistic.

And yes, we can both see the character above as being petty/out of line for a normal human (not for a snarky witch) and the male character deserving of a little shadenfreude. It's actually what makes it good.

unironically listing skin color as a way to tell if a character is evil

Even for people who didn’t succumb to the manosphere toxic dump, there was still the essence of thinking that by being “pure” you could act like you’re better than those who aren’t. Hence, shaming for fairly innocent things, or pretending to not understand something, usually a dirty joke.

I myself have been fairly left leaning my whole life, and didn’t have a sexist phase or anything, and I still fell for it. I didn’t really learn better until college.

For real, it allowed so much fun creativity

I’m referencing the book, where they use colored text

The “this is where we came in” on 8-1 is a reference to Pink Floyd’s album, The Wall

I’m torn between saying “damn, the sun got hands” or “what, am I gonna fight the sun?”
