What webcomic, can I ask?

Dumbing of Age! There’s been a storyline running about how (my fave character) Sarah ended up on the outs with her former friend group after she catalyzed her roommate leaving the school. All that had been revealed going in was that Dana (the roommate) had been a pothead, and for the last like two weeks, the comments have been filled with people talking about how SARAH IS THE WORST PERSON OMFG HOW DARE SHE GET DANA KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL AND RUIN HER LIIIIFE NO WONDER THEY HATE HER SUCH A JUDGMENTAL SELFISH BITCH!11 And every reveal (Dana introduced Sarah to said friend group; Dana took a turn for the worst after her mom died; Sarah couldn’t study and was worried about losing her scholarship) resulted in them only crowing that louder.

Until today and yesterday when SURPRISE, it was revealed that Sarah — as her roommate — was the only one who recognized that Dana was completely spiraling out of control in her drug use and deeply depressed whilst the friend group all just went OH SHE’LL SNAP OUT OF IT NO BIG! So, after Dana got worse and worse, and Sarah’s grades dropped because she was Dana’s sole support system, Sarah got in contact with Dana’s dad who took her out of school. Then the friend group — one girl in particular — called Sarah a terrible monster for SNITCHING and dumped her.

SO IN A SHOCKING TWIST SARAH ISN’T THE DEVIL!11

Cue a bunch of people going, “Oh…” and then some determined few still acting like there’s going to be some reveal of the “other side of the story” where Sarah is in fact still the evil horrible worst somehow… because of… reasons…

MORAL OF THE STORY: NEVER READ THE COMMENTS!!
