"The fourth little pig's house was made of wolf skulls. They aren't very sturdy, but they send a message."
Maybe today, some could even talk, rarely... But soon, we may lack the comfort of mercy...
Do anyone think, I'm such psycho fuack I'd like to torture, kill, fight for own survival, instead just doing happy daily life. So far, I'm in middle europe, and just had few issues with haters, but in places, where haters do threat some life, it is only natural to defend self, with more and more brutal defense, do anything to survive. To be clear, wish we could just talk, maybe split, but that was not us who choose violence in the first time.
Ps. and i do NOT mean talks like they: "don't be gay and you be left alone", but now, it is me: "don't be nazi fuck, mind own business, and you survive"
It might be allowed here, but it is also literally illegal in many places, so it might not be wise to do it here, where there will be a permanent record of it.
I’m pretty sure that war was about fracturing international working class solidarity before something like the internet could be developed. There’s no war like a war for supremacy. The authors of our world knew as much 100+ years ago, how ethnic/cultural divisions/pride prove to be one of the most effective carrots for distracting the soldiers of our species towards serving the interests of the hierarchy (dictatorship of the incumbents). Hitler was probably as much of a pawn for the elites of his time as Trump has proven to be in the USA for the sadistic masters-behind-the-curtains of today
you can do both, I don't like this artist because they lazy and uninspired but and I don't like nazis for obvious reasons. you can do both and not be beholden to others self righteous nonsense.
edit: watching a number of you throw a shit fit over me saying both suck sort of reinforce the "Not be beholden to others self righteous nonsense" mindset quite a bit lul.
Well they are the subject of this convo, on this thread, a lot of people don't like the artist for many less obvious and specific reasons then the obvious violent and exclusionary reasons fascists and far right are disliked so I personally didn't feel like that needed explaining. But I don't like the artist all that much for the stated reasons.
I like comics. I like 4 panel comics on social media. I am not US citizen. I am not willing to see only policital comics. I don't want to see extrapolated political comics. I come in the comics sub to get away from politics.
Unfortunately, all pizzacake does is political comics. Or at the very least most popular ones that got pushed up the feed. Hence I don't enjoy her content.
There is a reason why many left non-political subs like r/pics, r/crazyfuckingvideos, r/publicfreakout or r/adviceanimals. These subs not supposed to be politically locked echo chambers. But now they are.
If I want to keep up with politics, I'll go to politics communities, subs and news outlets. Blasting US politics out of every corner gets annoying quite fast.
So you want an echo chamber? Or a circle jerk? I mean, if you want quiet you can put away the phone and just go outside and do stuff. That's typically not as contentious. Boring even.
Which I don't get. If they want something to constantly agree with them, and absolutely love the things they love then just chat at ChatGPT. It'll shine that bottom better than any human will.
We're particular and become disagreeable after a time.
So what made you stop? You're joining the circle jerk of praise, or you're furious that some of us aren't on board, and you're going to tell us all to go outside?
I stopped because I don't have a hatred of these comics, and I was interested in the comments.
I'm not doing either of those things. There's no way to read my comment and get to either of those two conclusions without making something up out of thin air.
Define "fury". I feel like I'm being relatively conversational, we just disagree on something. I'm not calling you slurs, or making assumptions of your character. I'm simply responding to people who are responding to me at this point, with a few minor exceptions.
If I were to make any kind of judgement it would be that a lot of you don't really know how this is supposed to work. For too many, and maybe you included, discourse in social media means you have to completely agree with something, or else remain silent. You've been swatting at trolls so long you don't know the difference. This has the unfortunate side effect of creating echo chambers, and these little praise parties.
Edit: actually, overlooking my comment to you, maybe I was 😬 oops. I'm probably getting a little swept up in this too -- anyway, you still stopped, the same as I did. Should I be obligated to say something nice about the content, or nothing at all? So the conclusion is still the same.
The art style is recognizable. Seems easier to me to recognize the art, not bother reading it, and scroll to the next post, than it would be to go into the post to tell everyone engaging with the political cartoon that you don't like political cartoons.
If I see a post about sports I don't go into the comments to tell everyone there I don't care for sorts, because the people in that comment section do not care.
OMG can you imagine if people did that though? ‘This person posted about the Dodgers! I hate the Dodgers! I demand that nobody post anything about them ever because I don’t want to see it!’
Is it more likely that a person is a Nazi, or that you're conventionally unattractive? 🤔
There are a lot of Nazis, but there are way WAY more ugly people before you get too smarmy about it.
I'm sure many people will think you are stunning and brave though and you should hang out with them instead, but the fact remains.
Edit:
Oh no! Some people are stupid, some people are ugly, and some people are Nazis. And on Lemmy you're way more likely to find the first two, that's just how it is. Shine up your personality and practice your multiplication tables.
Edit 2:
I didn't actually open and read the comic and sub comic of this comic until now, but the fact remains: ugly people exist and for some reason I can't escape the blandness of pizzacake..
The thing is, people don't blow up on other people for being ugly. People do blow up on other people for calling out their unacceptable behavior, though. This person's looks aren't what they're upset about, it's just a socially acceptable reason they can use to vent their frustration about being called out for something else.
That could well be. I find this comic style annoying and I tried to block it but it is inescapable. I'm not trying to scrutinize it because then I have to look at it.
This is objectively false because beauty/ugly is not a linear scale.
If it were a linear scale then 50% of people would be ugly and 50% would be beautiful. If it's a scale with two axes, then 25% would be ugly, and 75% would be beautiful to somebody.
And beauty has way more than two scales. Some can be funny and be attractive, they can be pretty and be attractive, they could be caring and be attractive. The list goes on and on.
And what ends up being the case is that the vast majority of people are beautiful, to someone. Except for the dumb fucks that think that others are ugly. They're beautiful to nobody.
It's actually not. People who are brilliant in one topic could be easily stupid in another. Picasso couldn't do calculus. Fish can't climb trees.
It's very rare to find an actual stupid person. Uneducated, sure. Ignorant, you betcha. But to be actually stupid across the board, you either need to have a real genetic deficiency, or be stubborn in your ignorance.
And I found that people who think others are stupid very often do so because they are ignorant themselves about the multiple types of intelligence.
It's a reference to measures of intelligence sometimes being poorly thought out. Imagine if a monkey society came up with a basic competencies list. Among the list would probably be the ability to climb a tree. Now imagine if the monkey society tested a fish according to their competencies list. The fishwould be deemed lacking due to their inability to climb a tree.
It's the same thing with asking a painter to measure the stars or asking a manager to do middle school-level math.
Some people are stupid, some people are ugly, and some people are Nazis. And on Lemmy you’re way more likely to find the first two, that’s just how it is.
I have my suspicions that you might be 2/3 of these things...
You can think whatever you want, internet rando, so long as you aren't deluded about it. Though delusion seems to be a fairly common position.
Edit: Actually you're welcome to be deluded too. But it by no means makes you right or your opinion any more valuable 🤷. I suspect you're at least one.
OP please add credit to your post title or description per Rule 4. Thanks.
Edit: I’m actually incorrect here. Attribution includes watermarks, which is visible on this. It’s actually not required in title or description, I realize that’s just something I guess I do when I post. Disregard.
also sexist people saying, they are tired of "Seeing her comics" in the subs, but wont criticze any of the ones made by men that are often terrible or kinda racist/mysogynst, or bigoted. im sure its may or may not be intentionally, but the guy looks like dressed as hitler
Not really, enough people harass them about that fact that at this point acknowledging the haters doesn't come out as an ad.
They are exposing the reality that regardless what they post the haters just hate, even when it's fucking weird to do so like this one where the haters ends up looking like a Nazi in context.
From what I heard, she doesn’t have any nude content or a verified OF.
Unless that has changed, I guess. It doesn’t seem on-brand for her to even go toward lewd comics.
No she does. A few months back when we were adding names to the ban list, someone name dropped her stuff. Obviously she isnt on the ban list but I did research her stuff to make sure... and there is definitely nudes there.
She started out with the comic (regular on reddit), added kinky ideas to her protagonist (depicting herself), posted the occasional selfie, felt encouraged by results and decided to show some more on OF. At least that's the timeline I observed. She's a good gal, nothing wrong with bashing hypocrites and also being kinky and earning extra money :)
I don’t think the thin-skinned reactionary snowflakes who rage at her comics realize that they drive her engagement. Negative comments make content popular as much as positive ones. All she has to do is say “fascist bad” and the people she’s talking about clamor over themselves to let us know who they are. Can’t help it.
If they were silent, those of us who agree would say “Obviously? Not that funny.” and move on without blowing the post up.
You know that openly saying you want to be on a misandry list is a bad thing, right?
Even if you are trying to make an overly moralizing statement about overcorrection and overreaction, you're still a giant asshole, you know that, right?
Edit just to make sure I cover the bases but what I'm trying to say is you would be way more well off not commenting, I just need you to know that was always an option.
You know I want to say I earnestly want to give them the benefit of a doubt and that they need it pointed out that they're just saying shit and not even realizing what they're signing up for.
But also, like, I see a target I shoot at it. Maybe I'm not much better.
There was someone else in this thread who was complaining there were almost a hundred comments in the thread, but they could only see about thirty. If that's the type of user experience this person wants, let them have it.
Yeah it's been something people judge her for. Been a thing people bring up all the time.
She's a grown ass woman. What she does on the Internet, as long as it's not harmful to others or illegal, is her business. People need to chill TF out.
I think most of the criticism related to that has been about her using her comics as un-funny “hello, fellow libs” thirst trap advertising for her OF, which apparently isn’t working, so this one has to be more blunt.
She is damn funny and makes funny comics.
I can usually tolerate not agreeing 100% with artists and still like them. But if you side with Nazis we are on different sides.
I have no issues with OF
It really is. Very strong opinions, she lives rent free in a lot of heads.
There are plenty of comics and cartoons I don't overly care. But seeing the comments here I am now reminded of that CGPgrey video about content designed to make you angry.
Who am I to say this strip isn't rage bait? There are too many weirdos that can be offended by anything.
To me it was a bland comic - nothig worth writing home about it. But the amount of hate this generates really leaves me confused and fascinated.
I mean, I never engage when her content is posted because I just don't care, but it's really not good content either. She doesn't even try to make jokes anymore, I think the art style is pretty ugly, and while I agree with her messaging, that's because it's like the laziest, blandest possible way to communicate your political ideology. Yeah, Nazis are bad. I agree with that. I really don't need to see hundreds of nearly identical comics, drawn in almost exactly the same way, saying the exact same thing with no additional subtlety or nuance or thought put into it.
It is just really interesting how much haters - and I am not calling you one here - keep engaging over it.
There are cominc strips here that I really dislike, but I just skip over it. Sometimes even upvote them because lemmy needs the content and new posts. And upvote will encourage people to post more and better stuff.
I have a base, flat amount of respect for anyone who is willing to speak out and call nazis nazis. Right now there's a literal dark money fountain available to people who want to defend Israel, for instance, and anyone who isn't taking that and still willing to ragebait probably isn't 100% terrible. And real talk hatesubs are not real. That's some wild conspiracy stuff. If they are, then fuck it, get that bag. Flat respect who can get people to pay to say how much they hate your titties on a platform where you'll be instantly squuelched and still take your money.
They're pathetic losers, they hate it when people tell them they're pathetic losers, and yet, they go out of their way to prove that they are pathetic losers
She has never made a statement that has been incorrect, and the sad fucks who get upset because they feel like they need to defend themselves are the kind of guys who are part of the problem
I have never felt like any of her criticisms attack me, because I'm not a misogynist, a bigot, a nazi, an incel or any of the many other pathetic guys who find themselves challenged by her comics
It's not about her message but messaging. She's the embodiment of the homelander meme. Also, she can't take a wif of criticism and gets enormously bent out of shape if you don't praise her. She gets people banned left and right (political and directional)
Bruh you started off 2 hours ago complaining about not being able to block some harmless lameass internet comic and you're still here 2 hours later arguing and playing victim.
If they go outside how will they make sure that everyone knows how much they hate a specific content creator or type of content?!? They have to make sure people know otherwise they won't feel their life has any fulfillment in it.
I'm not playing victim, I just wanted to know how to block her crappy comics. You can look at them. I don't care what you do. And I was outside. There's these things called smart phones. It's like a big computer, but goes in your pocket.
You know, nevermind. I don't want to frustrate you further.
Or you're just an asshole, which where I'm from isn't illegal. Or, maybe you see the actual subtext of this comic and know what it's actually trying to do and find it particularly annoying.
Yes, we all hate Nazis. I also don't know any. I know a whole lot of mouthy, opinionated assholes though.
So.. no is the answer. Right wing people, maybe even centrists. Just people you generally dislike. Do you actually associate with them, or is it just perceived?
Wow, I don't think I've seen this type of reddit trolling here for long time, if ever. Hey Lemmy, leave one comment and then walk away. You're feeding the trolls (who are also sometimes Nazis). Resist!
Perhaps you have one of the top level commenters blocked, or maybe your instance blocks comments below a certain vote threshold. One thread has at least 50-60 comments in it and the top comment in the chain sits at -41 currently from what I see.
Recently I blocked like ten troll accounts and it has been hiding about 1/3 of the comments from me, leaving only the fairly nice ones. It does tell me the comments exist, though, so that might not be what you are seeing.
What I don't do, is comment on every Garfield comic that I see posted to whine that I don't like Garfield. I don't even feel a hint of desire to do that.
This is why people who see all the anti-Pizzacake comments on every one of her comics know that it's not really about the comics. It's people who are angry at seeing popular comic lady who self-inserts in many of her comics again and need to share that anger. It's just kinda pathetic.
it’s people who are angry at seeing popular comic lady who self-inserts in many of her comics again and need to share that anger.
It's solely this because it's self-aggrandising and there's no wit. She props up a weekly strawman who is attacking solely her on a position we're all against in the most banal manner possible and so to defend the position we have to defend her.
It'd be easy to ignore if the upvote brigade weren't so persistent, but they are and it raises worrying eyebrows.
Personally I think at the beginning thely were cute, funny, and at bare minimum I give bonus points to anyone starting out trying to do something rather than listen to di guses who think that there's a hard baseline for content.
But I do think she became some sort of Reddit beast that got stuck in a flattery eddie off to the side of the R/ALL tributary and stopped getting meaningful criticism and it hurt a lot of her output and growth.
And yet she still has more talent and entertainment value then a bunch of slackjawed comment troglydites with the most incredibly iroic sense of mediocre.
Eh, she was there before the big reddit change over, and true she seemed like she could roll with the punches but that ended pretty fast. If you're at all curious to look it up, it seems some of the artists in r/comics are getting a little tired of her, and are hesitantly more vocal about it.
I mean I'm not disagreeing. If anything I hate Reddit more for being a crushing echo chamber that takes people who might have a good thing going and turning them into steralized, nonfunctional content monsters.
I do think it's a time will tell kind of thing. Even SrGrapho just sort of fell into a hole where he was doing OC nudes and has yet to make a decent meme format in a decade.
Pizzacake could be better but I don't mind that she's taking on nazi's and right wing weirdos who can't help but lose their shit over titties and even the gentlest of criticisms. And refer to the first paragraph but there isn't a single reddit community I would take the word of at face value.
I get it. I don't know if I necessarily agree with your take on her work though. I don't think she's taking on Nazis or the right.. These particular comics can be read simply as is, but also as anyone who dares criticize her. In that case, you're not just an asshole but an actual goose stepping, swastika waving Nazi. Even those who would agree with her, who are on her side politically.
I really suspect this is all a strategy, and it probably shows some success, to drive traffic to her only fans and adult tier patreon who'll hate subscribe. I think that's how she's really making her money. The comics don't pay squat, as we all know.
I'll take a stab at explaining myself. I like them OK. I've never followed her or been inclined to reshare her work on social media, but I would describe crossing her work as "generally enjoyable". I think a lot of her work, like the example here, is more of a slice-of-life anecdote about an experience she had, rendered in the medium of the comic strip. It doesn't strike me as a joke, more like "Hey world, here's a thing that happened and my brief reaction to it". And I like it because I recognize the pattern and I feel sympathy for her. Nazis... overreact to things. Being extreme is kinda their signature move, and they seem to feel an obligation to be as unpleasant as possible to anyone being critical of them.
But, they almost always find other excuses to be shitty than "You criticize nazis and it hurts my feelings / makes me feel threatened, because I'm a nazi". They find the easiest excuse they can to bother you with, except the actual reason they're interacting in the first place. If they are harassing a woman, they have a standard variety pack of insults they can pull from. You're a whore, you're ugly, you're shrill or some variant thereof, you're pretending to be a lesbian because no man wants you, etc. I think the strategy is quantity over quality because nazi hatespam is remarkably consistent both in its volume and its unoriginality. It really does happen, and it is hurtful in a kind of "I can't believe humans waste their short lives being this uncreatively shitty" sorta way as well as just being generally mentally taxing, and it's nice to be able to commiserate over it. It's not exactly "ha ha" funny, but it is relatable in a way I appreciate in art.
This one is structured rather like joke, in that the last panel could be interpreted as a punchline to the previous setup, but I didn't read it that way and I don't think the idea of reading it that way would have occurred to me if I weren't analyzing it now. I can see how the last panel could be interpreted as an unfunny joke if that is what was being looked for. That's my hypothesis about why this comic is being received poorly by some, but not all, of the people in this thread. Let me know if I'm right 🙂 or wrong lol.
Was it meant to be funny or meant to lampshade a problem?
IMO it was meant to lampshade
But again: not all comics are meant to be funny. Webcomics or otherwise. There's a MASSIVE swathe of genres in all forms of media and creators are free to dance all over the genres as they wish.
"0/5 - Not funny. This is a COMIC therefore it is supposed to be comedic in nature." It's what you (and many others in this comment section) sound like right now.
To lampshade (or lampshading) as a verb means to intentionally call attention to an improbable, clichéd, or absurd element in a story to neutralize audience disbelief.
Most users on Reddit agree that the term comes from the metaphor of "hanging a lampshade" on something—making an awkward or glaring object even more conspicuous rather than trying to hide it.
The term has existed for a long long time and the concept behind the term even longer
If you wanna read more about the concept and see a nice list of examples in fiction over the years here's a link to the TVTropes page on lampshading. Be warned though, TVTropes is a rabbit hole of learning about media tropes that can be like getting trapped in the gravity well of a star. Great adventures can be had, but your sleep schedule is likely to fall victim to it.
The birds will be chirping to the dawn and you'll be wondering why you're on a page about a show that you've never heard of learning the tropes it shares in common with works of fiction older than the country you live in.
10/10 - bring a warm drink, a soft blanket, and some cozy socks. It's gonna be a wild ride.
Read it again. It means everyone who disagrees with you or doesn't like your look isn't a Nazi, you can also be wrong and bad looking with probably equal or better probability. Especially if Lemmy is your barometer.
What makes you think I'm commenting on anyone's appearance?
Some people get worked up about dumb things, and some people absolutely ARE Nazis. At the same time "everyone and everything I don't like is a Nazi" and "ugly people don't exist" are dumb positions to hold.
My straight up position in all these comments is that, purely by statistics, someone calling you out for your looks (while being absolutely assholish behavior) is less likely to be a Nazi on the face of things than for you to not being a good looking fella or lady.
I don't know the history of the comic and I can barely read the sub comic that one or the other is holding, but someone calling you ugly on only fans does not equate to naziism. Simultaneously, a person can be ugly and karma farm one topic (naziism here) without adding anything to the quality of general discourse. Some people are Nazis, some people are assholes, and some people are ugly bastards on OF that say "AI bad" and obviously anyone who is an asshole to me for any reason has a mom who's a clanker.
I see your point very clearly. Do you see mine? Everyone is beautiful and everyone who is mean on the Internet is a Nazi are both false statements even when it is inconvenient to say so? OBVIOUSLY the point of this comic is Nazis are bad (I agree) and that they fire up for no reason (I have no experience to know if that's true), but as feel-good as that is, it is a vapid response to reality.
The person who is being called a Nazi, is not being called a Nazi because they said someone else was ugly. They're calling her ugly because she made a comic disparaging Nazi/fascist behavior and their response to said comic was to call her ugly. You have this backwards.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say there's some weird projection happening here because there is no way whatsoever that has anything to do with unattractive entitled people. Words mean things, and you need to review what it is you're trying to cpmmunicate here.
I really don't get the fascination with these comics. They are like these lazy ass right wing comics, bur for the left. That elon musk is a jerk, i am very smart. Nazis are bad am i right? I am calm and cool. Thag's literally it. If you don't like them, you hate women.
I don't understand what you mean. I don't have to click on anything to have it show up in my feed, and because I'm not subscribed to too many things here, just comics and a few other places, this hits my "feed" and stays there. I don't have to click anything.
If you hadn't clicked on it we wouldn't be talking. So next time I suggest you follow your own advice and not click on things you don't want to engage in.
I agree, it's very stupid to think the world needs to cater to you and your tastes. It's very stupid to bitch about other people liking things that you don't and not just moving on with your life.
No idea. I use Mlem for iOS, which does have it. But it’s something to consider. Otherwise, I would suggest just grumbling under your breath and scrolling past (I do that too sometimes). 🤷♂️
As I said, I don't have the same algorithmic scroll that reddit has. It simply doesn't work that way. If nothing else is coming up, I just get the last post.. which for an hour happened to be this crappy comic.
You’re missing my point. Coming into the comments to complain about a perfectly legit comic, regardless of your feelings for a poster or the posted, does nobody any good. You can:
Block the poster,
Block the community,
Hide it (if you use an app that supports it),
Filter out specific keywords (assuming the poster is thoughtful enough to provide them),
Downvote and move on, or
Do nothing and live with it.
I was hoping to avoid the list, but here we are. 😊
Block, not ban, but that sounds like exactly what you're looking for. If seeing these comics is that big a deal to you, you can block everyone who posts them and eventually you'll almost never see them. The only alternative I can think of is just putting up with seeing things you don't like, which is what I do and it seems to work pretty well. Occasionally I even start to like things I didn't like before. But based on the conversation downthread that doesn't seem like a viable path for you so I thought I'd offer an alternative.
Yes, why would you want to block someone posting content you don't like when you can just whine about the content showing up in your feed in the comments of the content you don't like instead?
Some people post her comics with her name in the title. You can block keywords, so I'd at least add her name to that. It's not perfect, some posts like this one would slip through
Listen, I get it. I kicked the wasp's nest of fans. That doesn't take away from the fact that she's about as Narcissistic as Trump, and almost half as vengeance seeking.
Maybe just stop paying so much attention to her. I read her comics and that's about it. I don't need to know her personal business and you should know that anyone who makes it to a certain place in the Internet popularity contest is going to have baggage. Nobody is a saint. And even saints have blood on their hands (usually). Not everyone is a Francis.
I would gladly not look at any of her comics again, which is why I asked the original question. Tag her comics, tell me how I filter for that tag. Presto! Instant ignore.
However, I know plenty of the drama from r/comics and can tell anyone who asks. Sue me.
That's more a matter of art vs artist. Plenty of people will upvote the art because comic with having no idea who the artist is.
For everyone else we do understand the artist is a vindictive bitch.
But most of us just sorta ignore that fact and move on with our day.
The smaller remaining part want a way to block her art because she is infact. A vindictive bitch. Which is entirely fair and there should be a tagging and credit requirement so people can block what they don't want to see.
Unless you think we need to start posting graphic gore and violence all over the place to prove a fucking point about having a functional blacklist of some description.
Nobody is making you participate in the c/comic strips. If you don't like it just downvote it, block the people who posted it and move on. All you are doing is being a troll
there may very well be "some good videos" but what comes up in a search is a shitton of seemingly bad-faith ones, using caricatures and unattributed quotes in the thumbnails.
"Hey, why don't you go do your own research on this platform full of shit head misogynists who will be ranting about something a woman did, there's some good videos there"
I'd rather get my teeth drilled without novacaine than search YouTube for videos about fragile men whining about a woman who is more talented than they are and are super butthurt about it
Not sure about the nationalist part, but yes, he is right-wing/conservative. I didn’t want to suggest that I believe what they are saying about pizzacake, as I didn’t like the tone and personal attacks. Like, since when does the looks have to do something with what they do online?
I am just surprised that there are videos online about criticizing pizzacake. She seems to piss off certain user groups very much.
Nothing on the surface other than these low effort rage-bait comics that get crazy amounts of reddit karma and absolutely game the system. It's still undetermined exactly how. My personal belief is that people just like crap like this that they can use as a weapon against people on other social media platforms, but the algorithm loves her apparently. The comics are particularly baity though when she's getting low on enthusiasm or maybe engagement. That's when her and the mods of her personal comics subreddit r/comics really have their fun, permanently banning anyone who even hints at criticism of any kind. If not there, then anywhere on reddit. This has gotten particularly worse the last couple of years.
Yes, she has an XXX onlyfans. My guess is more than half the guys who she'd call Nazis like subscribe. That's really where she makes her money.
And many people think the world is flat, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a stupid conclusion made by ignorant people who crave negative attention
She isn't. Neither are the mods. They're just internet losers. I honestly think her stuff is just favorable to the algorithm and she's gathered a robust, absolutely devout and aggressive fan base. She's their darling, and they don't want to lose her.
Well, I'm convinced. That's absolutely conclusive. It just doesn't make sense! I mean, it's not like there's any kind of immediately available evidence that your opinion of her isn't anywhere close to the majority opinion or anything....
I did say that I suspect people just like her rage bait comics. That's most likely the answer. Which makes sense because all you guys really want out of comics is something to bash the other side over the head with. But, I reserve a little space for skepticism. I'm allowed to do that, right?
That’s when her and the mods of her personal comics subreddit r/comics really have their fun, permanently banning anyone who even hints at criticism of any kind
I was once permabanned from there due to a meta thread discussing pizzacake related mass bans, where literally all I said in my comment was to point out the existence of a tool to see what comments have been removed and evaluate for yourself what is happening. Had previously blocked pizzacake in an effort to avoid all the drama in the comments under her comics but it wasn't enough. Fortunately I am now banned from reddit entirely and no longer have to worry about these things, at least lemmy has modlogs.

How to find a nazi:

Do anyone think, I'm such psycho fuack I'd like to torture, kill, fight for own survival, instead just doing happy daily life. So far, I'm in middle europe, and just had few issues with haters, but in places, where haters do threat some life, it is only natural to defend self, with more and more brutal defense, do anything to survive. To be clear, wish we could just talk, maybe split, but that was not us who choose violence in the first time.

Sending a message is fine. Mutilation of the corpses and burning of the houses is one way to do this without torture.

I’m pretty sure that war was about fracturing international working class solidarity before something like the internet could be developed. There’s no war like a war for supremacy. The authors of our world knew as much 100+ years ago, how ethnic/cultural divisions/pride prove to be one of the most effective carrots for distracting the soldiers of our species towards serving the interests of the hierarchy (dictatorship of the incumbents). Hitler was probably as much of a pawn for the elites of his time as Trump has proven to be in the USA for the sadistic masters-behind-the-curtains of today

I like comics. I like 4 panel comics on social media. I am not US citizen. I am not willing to see only policital comics. I don't want to see extrapolated political comics. I come in the comics sub to get away from politics.
Unfortunately, all pizzacake does is political comics. Or at the very least most popular ones that got pushed up the feed. Hence I don't enjoy her content.
There is a reason why many left non-political subs like r/pics, r/crazyfuckingvideos, r/publicfreakout or r/adviceanimals. These subs not supposed to be politically locked echo chambers. But now they are.
If I want to keep up with politics, I'll go to politics communities, subs and news outlets. Blasting US politics out of every corner gets annoying quite fast.

I stopped because I don't have a hatred of these comics, and I was interested in the comments.

Define "fury". I feel like I'm being relatively conversational, we just disagree on something. I'm not calling you slurs, or making assumptions of your character. I'm simply responding to people who are responding to me at this point, with a few minor exceptions.
If I were to make any kind of judgement it would be that a lot of you don't really know how this is supposed to work. For too many, and maybe you included, discourse in social media means you have to completely agree with something, or else remain silent. You've been swatting at trolls so long you don't know the difference. This has the unfortunate side effect of creating echo chambers, and these little praise parties.
Edit: actually, overlooking my comment to you, maybe I was 😬 oops. I'm probably getting a little swept up in this too -- anyway, you still stopped, the same as I did. Should I be obligated to say something nice about the content, or nothing at all? So the conclusion is still the same.
CileTheSane@lemmy.ca · 7 pts · 2d
The art style is recognizable. Seems easier to me to recognize the art, not bother reading it, and scroll to the next post, than it would be to go into the post to tell everyone engaging with the political cartoon that you don't like political cartoons.
If I see a post about sports I don't go into the comments to tell everyone there I don't care for sorts, because the people in that comment section do not care.

There are a lot of Nazis, but there are way WAY more ugly people before you get too smarmy about it.
I'm sure many people will think you are stunning and brave though and you should hang out with them instead, but the fact remains.
Edit:
Oh no! Some people are stupid, some people are ugly, and some people are Nazis. And on Lemmy you're way more likely to find the first two, that's just how it is. Shine up your personality and practice your multiplication tables.
Edit 2:
I didn't actually open and read the comic and sub comic of this comic until now, but the fact remains: ugly people exist and for some reason I can't escape the blandness of pizzacake..Actually I'd rather just leave it; still true.

The thing is, people don't blow up on other people for being ugly. People do blow up on other people for calling out their unacceptable behavior, though.

This is objectively false because beauty/ugly is not a linear scale.
If it were a linear scale then 50% of people would be ugly and 50% would be beautiful. If it's a scale with two axes, then 25% would be ugly, and 75% would be beautiful to somebody.
And beauty has way more than two scales. Some can be funny and be attractive, they can be pretty and be attractive, they could be caring and be attractive. The list goes on and on.
And what ends up being the case is that the vast majority of people are beautiful, to someone. Except for the dumb fucks that think that others are ugly. They're beautiful to nobody.

It's very rare to find an actual stupid person. Uneducated, sure. Ignorant, you betcha. But to be actually stupid across the board, you either need to have a real genetic deficiency, or be stubborn in your ignorance.
And I found that people who think others are stupid very often do so because they are ignorant themselves about the multiple types of intelligence.

It's a reference to measures of intelligence sometimes being poorly thought out. Imagine if a monkey society came up with a basic competencies list. Among the list would probably be the ability to climb a tree. Now imagine if the monkey society tested a fish according to their competencies list. The fishwould be deemed lacking due to their inability to climb a tree.

I don't like Garfield comics.
What I don't do, is comment on every Garfield comic that I see posted to whine that I don't like Garfield. I don't even feel a hint of desire to do that.
This is why people who see all the anti-Pizzacake comments on every one of her comics know that it's not really about the comics. It's people who are angry at seeing popular comic lady who self-inserts in many of her comics again and need to share that anger. It's just kinda pathetic.
tetris11@feddit.uk · 5 pts · 2d
It's solely this because it's self-aggrandising and there's no wit. She props up a weekly strawman who is attacking solely her on a position we're all against in the most banal manner possible and so to defend the position we have to defend her.

Personally I think at the beginning thely were cute, funny, and at bare minimum I give bonus points to anyone starting out trying to do something rather than listen to di guses who think that there's a hard baseline for content.
But I do think she became some sort of Reddit beast that got stuck in a flattery eddie off to the side of the R/ALL tributary and stopped getting meaningful criticism and it hurt a lot of her output and growth.
And yet she still has more talent and entertainment value then a bunch of slackjawed comment troglydites with the most incredibly iroic sense of mediocre.
Dr_pepper_spray@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 3d
Eh, she was there before the big reddit change over, and true she seemed like she could roll with the punches but that ended pretty fast. If you're at all curious to look it up, it seems some of the artists in r/comics are getting a little tired of her, and are hesitantly more vocal about it.
CardboardDecoy@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 3d
I mean I'm not disagreeing. If anything I hate Reddit more for being a crushing echo chamber that takes people who might have a good thing going and turning them into steralized, nonfunctional content monsters.
I do think it's a time will tell kind of thing. Even SrGrapho just sort of fell into a hole where he was doing OC nudes and has yet to make a decent meme format in a decade.
Pizzacake could be better but I don't mind that she's taking on nazi's and right wing weirdos who can't help but lose their shit over titties and even the gentlest of criticisms. And refer to the first paragraph but there isn't a single reddit community I would take the word of at face value.
Dr_pepper_spray@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3d
I get it. I don't know if I necessarily agree with your take on her work though. I don't think she's taking on Nazis or the right.. These particular comics can be read simply as is, but also as anyone who dares criticize her. In that case, you're not just an asshole but an actual goose stepping, swastika waving Nazi. Even those who would agree with her, who are on her side politically.
I really suspect this is all a strategy, and it probably shows some success, to drive traffic to her only fans and adult tier patreon who'll hate subscribe. I think that's how she's really making her money. The comics don't pay squat, as we all know.

queerlilhayseed@piefed.blahaj.zone · 13 pts · 3d
I'll take a stab at explaining myself. I like them OK. I've never followed her or been inclined to reshare her work on social media, but I would describe crossing her work as "generally enjoyable". I think a lot of her work, like the example here, is more of a slice-of-life anecdote about an experience she had, rendered in the medium of the comic strip. It doesn't strike me as a joke, more like "Hey world, here's a thing that happened and my brief reaction to it". And I like it because I recognize the pattern and I feel sympathy for her. Nazis... overreact to things. Being extreme is kinda their signature move, and they seem to feel an obligation to be as unpleasant as possible to anyone being critical of them.
But, they almost always find other excuses to be shitty than "You criticize nazis and it hurts my feelings / makes me feel threatened, because I'm a nazi". They find the easiest excuse they can to bother you with, except the actual reason they're interacting in the first place. If they are harassing a woman, they have a standard variety pack of insults they can pull from. You're a whore, you're ugly, you're shrill or some variant thereof, you're pretending to be a lesbian because no man wants you, etc. I think the strategy is quantity over quality because nazi hatespam is remarkably consistent both in its volume and its unoriginality. It really does happen, and it is hurtful in a kind of "I can't believe humans waste their short lives being this uncreatively shitty" sorta way as well as just being generally mentally taxing, and it's nice to be able to commiserate over it. It's not exactly "ha ha" funny, but it is relatable in a way I appreciate in art.
This one is structured rather like joke, in that the last panel could be interpreted as a punchline to the previous setup, but I didn't read it that way and I don't think the idea of reading it that way would have occurred to me if I weren't analyzing it now. I can see how the last panel could be interpreted as an unfunny joke if that is what was being looked for. That's my hypothesis about why this comic is being received poorly by some, but not all, of the people in this thread. Let me know if I'm right 🙂 or wrong lol.

dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works · 0 pts · 2d
What makes you think I'm commenting on anyone's appearance?
Some people get worked up about dumb things, and some people absolutely ARE Nazis. At the same time "everyone and everything I don't like is a Nazi" and "ugly people don't exist" are dumb positions to hold.
My straight up position in all these comments is that, purely by statistics, someone calling you out for your looks (while being absolutely assholish behavior) is less likely to be a Nazi on the face of things than for you to not being a good looking fella or lady.
I don't know the history of the comic and I can barely read the sub comic that one or the other is holding, but someone calling you ugly on only fans does not equate to naziism. Simultaneously, a person can be ugly and karma farm one topic (naziism here) without adding anything to the quality of general discourse. Some people are Nazis, some people are assholes, and some people are ugly bastards on OF that say "AI bad" and obviously anyone who is an asshole to me for any reason has a mom who's a clanker.
I see your point very clearly. Do you see mine? Everyone is beautiful and everyone who is mean on the Internet is a Nazi are both false statements even when it is inconvenient to say so? OBVIOUSLY the point of this comic is Nazis are bad (I agree) and that they fire up for no reason (I have no experience to know if that's true), but as feel-good as that is, it is a vapid response to reality.
Jyek@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 2d
The person who is being called a Nazi, is not being called a Nazi because they said someone else was ugly. They're calling her ugly because she made a comic disparaging Nazi/fascist behavior and their response to said comic was to call her ugly. You have this backwards.

Block, not ban, but that sounds like exactly what you're looking for. If seeing these comics is that big a deal to you, you can block everyone who posts them and eventually you'll almost never see them. The only alternative I can think of is just putting up with seeing things you don't like, which is what I do and it seems to work pretty well. Occasionally I even start to like things I didn't like before. But based on the conversation downthread that doesn't seem like a viable path for you so I thought I'd offer an alternative.

For everyone else we do understand the artist is a vindictive bitch.
But most of us just sorta ignore that fact and move on with our day.
The smaller remaining part want a way to block her art because she is infact. A vindictive bitch. Which is entirely fair and there should be a tagging and credit requirement so people can block what they don't want to see.
Unless you think we need to start posting graphic gore and violence all over the place to prove a fucking point about having a functional blacklist of some description.

Yeah hasan piker is getting upvoted lately too, what's your point? A lot of people on lemmy are not the brightest

Nobody is making you participate in the c/comic strips. If you don't like it just downvote it, block the people who posted it and move on. All you are doing is being a troll

Imagine comparing Pizzacake to someone who treats their own supporters like shit. This take is squeakier than clown shoes.

Some good videos on youtube about her crashouts and overall hypocrisy if you really wanna waste time and get into it
She's like the definitive example of why reddit sucks
lime@feddit.nu · 23 pts · 3d
there may very well be "some good videos" but what comes up in a search is a shitton of seemingly bad-faith ones, using caricatures and unattributed quotes in the thumbnails.
also, why are you talking about reddit?
Holytimes@sh.itjust.works · 0 pts · 2d
Because that's her main platform. You can't really remove reddit from the conversation if your going to talk about her in good faith to start with.
lime@feddit.nu · 1 pts · 2d
oh like anyone here was arguing in good faith to begin with. also, no?

"What is wrong with this person"
"Hey, why don't you go do your own research on this platform full of shit head misogynists who will be ranting about something a woman did, there's some good videos there"
I'd rather get my teeth drilled without novacaine than search YouTube for videos about fragile men whining about a woman who is more talented than they are and are super butthurt about it

Ngl I did not expect her to be this kind of a problematic person and I enjoyed her comics in the past.
Just watched this here: https://youtu.be/RqiuOJhNlCA

That vid is from a right wing nationalist. You've been had.
evidences@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 3d
That channel has a book review for Man in the High Castle with a thumbnail captioned "The Good Timeline". Yeah it seems problematic.
antianarchist@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 3d
Not sure about the nationalist part, but yes, he is right-wing/conservative. I didn’t want to suggest that I believe what they are saying about pizzacake, as I didn’t like the tone and personal attacks. Like, since when does the looks have to do something with what they do online?
I am just surprised that there are videos online about criticizing pizzacake. She seems to piss off certain user groups very much.

Nothing on the surface other than these low effort rage-bait comics that get crazy amounts of reddit karma and absolutely game the system. It's still undetermined exactly how. My personal belief is that people just like crap like this that they can use as a weapon against people on other social media platforms, but the algorithm loves her apparently. The comics are particularly baity though when she's getting low on enthusiasm or maybe engagement. That's when her and the mods of her personal comics subreddit r/comics really have their fun, permanently banning anyone who even hints at criticism of any kind. If not there, then anywhere on reddit. This has gotten particularly worse the last couple of years.
Yes, she has an XXX onlyfans. My guess is more than half the guys who she'd call Nazis like subscribe. That's really where she makes her money.
lime@feddit.nu · 22 pts · 3d
why are you talking about reddit?
Dr_pepper_spray@lemmy.world · -15 pts · 3d
Because this is reposted from reddit. She's a reddit comic artist.
What? She is. That's her stomping grounds.
lime@feddit.nu · 4 pts · 3d
it could also be from her insta or her bsky or her patreon?
Dr_pepper_spray@lemmy.world · -5 pts · 2d
Could be...but it's where she spends the most time.
rabber@lemmy.ca · -10 pts · 3d
Many people think she is even a reddit employee

And many people think the world is flat, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a stupid conclusion made by ignorant people who crave negative attention
Dr_pepper_spray@lemmy.world · -7 pts · 3d
She isn't. Neither are the mods. They're just internet losers. I honestly think her stuff is just favorable to the algorithm and she's gathered a robust, absolutely devout and aggressive fan base. She's their darling, and they don't want to lose her.
Warl0k3@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 3d
Well, I'm convinced. That's absolutely conclusive. It just doesn't make sense! I mean, it's not like there's any kind of immediately available evidence that your opinion of her isn't anywhere close to the majority opinion or anything....
Dr_pepper_spray@lemmy.world · -8 pts · 3d
I did say that I suspect people just like her rage bait comics. That's most likely the answer. Which makes sense because all you guys really want out of comics is something to bash the other side over the head with. But, I reserve a little space for skepticism. I'm allowed to do that, right?

I was once permabanned from there due to a meta thread discussing pizzacake related mass bans, where literally all I said in my comment was to point out the existence of a tool to see what comments have been removed and evaluate for yourself what is happening. Had previously blocked pizzacake in an effort to avoid all the drama in the comments under her comics but it wasn't enough. Fortunately I am now banned from reddit entirely and no longer have to worry about these things, at least lemmy has modlogs.
