And that's ignoring the attempt at libel towards her ex-wife. Honestly, from a certain perspective, said ex-wife is the most sympathetic, heroic character in the entire comic, and we never even see her. The only time she's described at all, it's mostly by the incredibly manipulative, Unintentionally Unsympathetic G.

To be fair I\'m only doing it from the story perspective vs her real-life stuff added in because I somewhat fear her fanbase

All hurt no comfort
Poke Madhouse is an odd beast to tackle . Most of the panels seem to be inoffensive fluff and a basic wacky shenanigans by mismatched roommates story . But behind this exterior is a messed up badly handled story of toxic friendships/relationships, half baked metaphors and bleak world building. The best and most interesting characters (like the Sassy foil to G Mismagius) barely get enough time to shine and have to make room for more "G is Sad feel bad for her !!! " pandering . G is unlikeable and predatory, C Lily is too permissive of G's abuse and C Mikaila is waaay too forgiving of G treating her fiance bad . Bonnie is just a generic cute quirky kid character and Marah is a non entity. The author badly handles serious topics and doesn't help by adding joke posts that make light of creepy situations like sex assault and coercion (doesn't matter if the perp is female Lily). If you want a wholesome Pokemon comic stick to Lil Char and the Gang and avoid this exercise in emotional masochism.
As a side note I'm not against tackling dark subjects just bad/excusing execution of them
