He's just tired of people telling him how shit he is at writing characters.

I sometimes wonder if this guy is really a lolcow and then stupidity like this.
A woman invented the term "Mary Sue." In 1973.
From an otherwise terrible Wikipedia article I'm not linking.

Diaz, you could at least try making a rebuttal or, if that's beneath you, just ignore her altogether.
I mean saying "Mary Sue" is sexist is demeaning to women writers, because somehow Diaz doesn't expect much out of female storytellers.

Not like the people most critical of Mary Sues are other women or anything.

I guess Aaron's a misogynist, judging by Kimiko's lack of flaws and personality.

Also the term is basically applied to any autistic superpowered self-insert male or female, though some use a term like "Gary Stu" for males.
(I'm mildly annoyed with the use of it to refer to any supposedly OP character, which would make Superman a Mary Sue.)

The difference between Superman and a Mary Sue is simple- Superman has actual conflicts, flaws and doesn't always come out on top (and has even died several times). Sues are personality-less, have superficial (at best) flaws and wins every time unless some contrivance is pulled out of the author's ass.

It astonishes me how this man seems to have so much contempt for what is essentially his audience. He has absolutely no respect for the people who are putting a roof over his head, and food on his table. This blows my god damn mind.
What astonishes me even more is that they just bend over, take it, and pay him his 5Gs.
And I still can't get over how he never appears to be anything remotely close to happy in any picture he appears in. Just look at his latest Twitter avatar! I'm not sure this man is formally acquainted with the concept of a smile.

It is apparently neither fun nor satisfying to spend every waking moment practicing to win the gold medal in the Being a Gigantic Pussy Olympic event.

I think he's just trying so obnoxiously hard to look posh and sophisticated that he ends up looking like an insufferable asswipe, and nothing more.
Quite fitting for a guy who'd shove his head up Anita's ass if she made even the most vague of suggestions to do so.

That's not even a posh expression on his face, though. That's a straight up pissed off brow furrow.

Emotions like happiness and joy are for evil privileged white men, and Aaron's gotta stay in the SJW's good graces.

He seems to have pissed a number of fans off lately, because his Patreon went down from 5G+ to around 4800 US$.

Patreon recently changed the way they display the money made, though. Now the cut Patreon gets is deducted from the displayed total, so we see something closer to what the person is actually getting paid.

That wouldn't surprise me if the drop in his Patreon monies and his comments were related.He seems to have pissed a number of fans off lately, because his Patreon went down from 5G+ to around 4800 US$.

Kimiko has a knack for gift-giving.
EDIT.
...that said gf is this Yuko person.
The first official collaboration between Yuko Ota and myself. I made the mistake of sitting her in front of my computer last night to doodle and she started drawing this amazingly trashy romance cover. Instead of moving on with our lives, however, together we put together this picture. I apologize to all of humanity for it.
Most of the line art is Yuko and most of the colors are mine. Also, the contorted spine is very much intentional.
