Curse seasonal colour analysis and all of its surprising accuracy! I don’t want to be a bright spring, I want to be goth!
You live your best life in that blue dress kid and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Great these terrible comics have made their way here, too
I would pay at least a bit to never have to see these again. I’m not even some crazy hater, I just find them super low effort and the loyalty they have to be very very strange.
I blocked pizzacake on Reddit because the comics are terrible and now I have to look at them here.
I feel like if you’re on a comic strip community you should expect to see various comic strips even from artists you don’t like, no? Just block the community or filter the word from titles
It displays it on all and I don’t mind seeing comics just not this creator because of how toxic she is.
I don’t know anything about this artist, could you tell what toxic stuff she’s done?
no but i want to be madddd
how dare you enjoy and spread this thing that i dont follow >:((((((
entire day. ruined. i downvoted your comment to let you know how much i dont care.
I guess I’m fine with pizzacake’s awful zero-punchline comics being here on Lemmy, I just hope her stupid cult doesn’t follow and this community doesn’t turn into some pizzacake safe fan space where you literally aren’t allowed to say anything that isn’t directly kissing her ass, like /r/comics.
Uhhh what is going on in the comments? Who is Pizzacakecomic? And why almost everyone here hate them?
Pizzacake is a popular comic artist over on Reddit. She gained popularity mostly because she is extremely active in the comments of all of her posts. She is constantly chatting and attempting to make friends.
As for why she is disliked, there’s a few reasons.
The one she sites the most is sexism though there isn’t actually a lot of evidence of this outside of her own testimony.
Another is that she won’t stop talking about how people who don’t like her are sexist. She’s made multiple comics about how her critics don’t read her comics and just dislike them due to woman.
Her jokes also tend to be the easiest possible punchline for every joke. this has a kinda weird double effect because it means that her comics are extremely applicable to most people because they are generic enough that you can fit most of them into most situations. On the flip side, if you don’t like one the comics… You probably won’t like any of them… They’re all similar enough to be mostly indistinguishable other than the topic itself. along that same train of thought, if you like one… You’ll probably like them all.
As for my own opinion, I don’t really care one way or the other. She’s fine. I’ve heard accusations of her paying for likes on Reddit for promoting her own comics and so on but honestly I haven’t seen any proof myself so I can’t confirm or deny any of those.
The one she sites the most is sexism though there isn’t actually a lot of evidence of this outside of her own testimony.
Sexism is so rampant on Reddit that saying “I’m a woman” and getting bombarded by creeps and freaks is trivial. Less a commentary on her, specifically, and more on the degenerate nature of the community.
She’s made multiple comics about how her critics don’t read her comics and just dislike them due to woman.
She’s producing liberal political comics, and she’s a woman, so the chuds will be out in full force screaming at her.
At a certain point, though, its just…
She’s fine.
She’s very clearly low effort. The art is flat, the comedy is mid, the political edginess is ten years out of date.
I wonder if Netflix will be signing her any time soon.
The art being flat as a way of saying it’s low effort is an argument I genuinely don’t understand. Comics are all low effort art wise… That’s part of the whole thing.
Comics historically have been the lowest quality you can get away with since they have to be put out every day for the newspaper. I know XKCD does more than 1 thing but the art style is literally stick figures and they’re one of the most popular web comics.
You may not like the art but I would call it a mediocre art style more than a low effort one.
Everything else I fully agree with. She gets the (unfortunately) normal amount of hate a woman gets online for being a woman. Which is why I made sure to do italics for it when I said lot. She tends to get significantly more support than hate in pretty much everything she does either way.
