"The alt right organized trolls attack everything I do," Schumer wrote. "They organize to get my ratings down... and
I want to thank them. It makes me feel so powerful and dangerous and brave. It reminds me what I'm saying is effective and bring more interest to my work and their obsession with me keeps me going."
Schumer's post came after Splitsider reported that her special had been the target of a coordinated online campaign, with alt-right Reddit users giving the special negative reviews in order to bring down its overall rating. Yes, this is genuinely how some people choose to spend their time.
"Anyone who reported that "viewers aren't happy" with my special, it would have been cool if you did a moment of research before posting," Schumer continued, taking aim at the outlets who published articles with headlines like this. "I am only alarmed by the people printing their organized trolling as
'news' this is what the current administration wants."
"I thank you trolls so much. It fills me with hope and power to see you all furiously posting so as always accuse me of whatever lies you want.
Call me a whale. Call me a thief and I will continue to rise and fight and lead."
