Artcow JDR / Jennifer Diane Reitz / Chatoyance - The Original Crazy Tranny

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
JDR is only marginally a lolcow in that there have been some (*cough*) amusing incidents.

The rest of the time, her stuff comes across as delightfully weird yet at the same time mildly uninteresting. When I run across her creations I just keep staring and staring and staring and wondering what the hell is going on. After maybe 15 minutes I just mutter "you know what, this isn't really my cup of tea" and wander off. Doesn't cause rage, but doesn't inspire much either. All I can usually offer is a tip of a hat and "hey, keep weirding on".

The only thing that really worries me is her site about transgender issues, which has been shot down many times. She has conceded that the COGIATI test she has up is seriously flawed, yet she hasn't done the right thing and retracted it or even put up any warnings to that effect on the website.
 
It seems like the people she lives with are all clones of each other. Fat and long haired.

I remember her. This picture looks like its from an ep of Tim and Eric.

JDR (here's a good primer) is an aging nerdy transwoman who draws comics. she has a lot in common with cwc because of her misandry, entitlement complex, desire to live in a fantasy world over the real world, many self-insert comic characters, probably some other stuff i'm missing. but she has a lot less autism and a lot more undiagnosed, untreated crazy

that part is best explained with quotes directly out of her keyboard
I am a game designer, an artist, a web designer, and a great many other, reasonably exotic, things. I lead a singularly unusual life. I live with my three spouses in a polyamory, or group marriage. I am very childlike, and I love toys and games very much. I am an Eternal Child! My nicknames are Giniko-chan, Gini-chan, Jen-Jen-Chan and Jenny Plenny (Plenty).

The Unicorn was my personal emblem long before the creature became fashionable, then unfashionable. I care nothing for social fads. I love what I love, forever.

Unicorn Jelly ran MoonDay through FreyasDay, Five days a week, from September 5th, 2000 to April 14, 2003

I have spent my entire conscious life trying to reign in my muse, and I have not been successful. It is as powerful as god to me. I finally admit I am it's slave, I cannot win against it, even as the frustration of it's unfulfillment slowly kills me.

[Stephen, her programmer husband] never really believed in me, regrets that now, and most likely failed me ultimately because he was jealous of my creativity. Swell.

[Stephen] interrupts the one shining bit of true fun I have had in ages, because it is distracting from his little attempt to be 'creative'. This creativity coming at the cost of 20 years of denial of the very real and uber-powerful, genius-level creativity I possess, which we both could have milked to the point of living in a mansion by now, instead of a rented house.

my reaction to her is less revulsion and lols and more pity and concern, but i do think it's funny when people claim they are creative geniuses, and there is some pretty gross shit on her website

did anybody else read her comics back in the day? i read unicorn jelly around 2004 and lost interest quickly. pastel defender heliotrope was boring as tar and the art was actually worse than in unicorn jelly somehow. i actually kind of liked to save her until i noticed how mean-spirited it was
 
That "Kokoro Wish" comic is like the single most passive-aggressive thing ever committed to paper (or tablet); it always makes me cry with laughter because it is so self-righteous*.

Her recent My Little Pony transformation comics are nauseating.

*Also, I know about ten poly triads composed of unpleasant-looking aging hippies, half of which include at least one trans partner. Her "singularly unusual life" is standard fare for self-consciously "alternative" types.
