I'm unfamiliar, this is the first thing of hers I've encountered and I thought it fun enough to post here. Is there one of those Reasons people don't like her?

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 29 points 1 month ago (3 children)

There's a long story involving her threatening legal action against a subreddit over people parodying her work, overall she seems to be a very thin skinned individual that doesn't take criticism well.

Her work also just isn't very good, in my view. Her art style is incredibly bland, and her positions on various topics are just the biggest "no shit" moments you can imagine.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

To be fair, if the biggest critiques of an internet celeb was that they were thin-skinned and their takes aren't very spicy then I take that as a win in today's environment. Hell even being "sort of an asshole" is pretty good by today's standards.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

It could be worse, but then again, people wouldn't be posting her work all the time if she'd done something truly awful.

Instead she makes bland dross that confirms people's opinions, and people think she's actually creative as a result.

She does, however, sell nude pictures on her patron.

[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Lol of course it would be satansmaggotycumfart to share this tidbit

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Gentlemen, I think I've found my next job. Now, if only I was good looking...

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You could always paint your toenails and sell foot pics.

I mean.....I wouldn't know......

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'd have to shave my feet and get a pedicure as well, since I don't think there is much of a market for male hobbit feet

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

What? No! What are you doing man??? Hobbit feet are big market money makers! Do you know how popular Lord of the Rings is, and how many of their fans have foot fetishes??? Gotta be some crossover there, right?

Be you!

Thanks, SatansMaggotyCumFart. You've shown us the audience that shits on artists

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I honestly don’t think she’s into that.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world -5 points 1 month ago

We won't know unless we ask though

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's not like the community here shits on all artists regularly, it's just the one.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world -5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Bullying someone because everyone else does it still doesn't make it cool dude

[–] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There is a difference between criticism and bullying. Given that the complaints I've seen here are all entirely justified and true, calling it 'bullying' is pretty ridiculous.

[–] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

Also PC isn't even here to see these comments, we can insulting someone who's not in the room mockery

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Which is very weird, but whatever.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world -5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

She's an example of a normal person becoming famous and having to navigate those waters without a team.

You're a wonderful example of an outside critic without consideration. I'm thankful I'm just a nobody like you, because these critiques upset me even when I'm not involved whatsoever.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I wasn't aware I had to be an artist to criticise Pizzacake.

And even without the drama on Reddit, which I don't particularly care about, her work is extremely bland and unimaginative.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lots of posts on Lemmy are bland and unimaginative. I don't feel the need to comment as such in each and every one of them.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee -1 points 1 month ago

You do you, I guess.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You don't have to be an artist to criticize her, just like I don't have to be a critic to recognize bandwagoning. People shit on her because it's popular, not because of good reasons.

Continue to manifest reddit drama here, and argue for shitting on people. I'll take my downvotes for standing up for artists. There are literally hundreds of bigger problems we should be speaking up about, this comic artist is not one of them.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Have you considered the possibility everyone is criticising her because she genuinely sucks?

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I thought she was just "bland and unimaginative"

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee -2 points 1 month ago

Most people would consider those to mean similar things.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

The great thing about lemmy is that if you don't like a post, there's another one under it.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Explain the difference between bandwagoning and the majoroty of people sharing the same opinion.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

posts nude photos of Nurse_Robot punting a basket of puppies

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

You swore you'd never post that photo, I only kicked that basket because you said it was the only way you could get off
