- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

I'm new here in the fediverse... why she is hated here? I'm out of the loop on something?
She made a comic on reddit about “if women talked to men the way men talk to women”
A bunch of people commented that they had personally heard women say one or more of those things
Everyone who made those comments was banned and muted
People made posts on other subreddits explaining what happened and were banned and muted from /r/comics even without having posted or commented in it
She and the mods of /r/comics doubled down on future posts
There are a number of Reddit refugees on Lemmy.
Then she threatened a subreddit with legal action for making fun of and parodying her comics. All around a toxic person
I was an artist online for years and eventually quit because of all the drama, and you don't escape it, if you're not constantly, aggressively preserving your IP, it WILL get used by others for whatever they want. I can dump boatloads of stories and links to artists who had their work used by everyone from other artists who painted over their art and claimed it, all the way to major corporations just plain stealing designs and characters.
Out of all the "toxic" creators, maybe we should bandwagon against actual shitty people and shitty artists. Ya'll have Stonetoss's twitter and socials, why not focus some of this smarmy better-than-thou armchair art-snobbery on an actual toxic nazi? Literally, the same site here broadly, Lemmy, that has on it's top trending posts, a "punching nazis" meme, does almost NOTHING to actually challenge real threats to our way of life when it's as easy as a targeted social media campaign. I guess that takes scaaary organizing though.
You're all manufacturing drama around this.
Or you're burying your head in the sand. How are people manufacturing drama when it's the comic creator who's threatening people with legal action over parodies of her comics?
I have a really hard time believing anyone cares about any of that or even has a source for truth. People are broadly taking cues from everyone else and enjoying hating a thing because it's fun to hate.
A simple google search would have shown you the receipts lol
I literally do not care if artists have scuffles about permission or whatever, every online artist has some tangled backstory because people are shitty and being online is a fight, that said we have so many ACTUAL fucking EVIL people out there trying to do ACTUAL bad things, it feels like this site is just full of people who can't access actual fascists and nazis so everyone piles onto the nearest "problematic ally" just because it's easier to tear someone down than go fight a real fight.
You keep pivoting lol, just say you enjoy garbage web comics that's fine
Also, you're blocked, you're not even remotely equipped to have a real discussion if you call any of what what said here "pivoting" just keep letting herd-mentality guide you, I'm sure it will always serve you well.
If you call that "keeps pivoting" you're really short on attention span, and maybe you need entertainment that doesn't require you to pay attention for more than three panels. That's probably where this cartoon lost you.
Your unhinged slew of comments all over here speaks volumes, thanks for blocking me?
Her comics are utterly devoid of humour, her art style is bland, and she states the blindingly obvious.
Just an incredibly mediocre artist that people are weirdly supportive of.
"A non-offensive, easily-read thing that people broadly like isn't refined or edgy enough for me personally, so it's weird that it gets supported by so many people who aren't me."
Her comics are painfully unfunny
Then ignore them in your scroll and keep your performative bitching to yourself.
Why dont you ignore my "performative bitching" and keep your performative bitching to yourself. I was answering the question to why she gets hate.
I could say the same about your nasty attitude, people are allowed to not like things.
Sure, but don't be an ass about it.
And people are allowed to think inflated performance of that dislike is cringe, i suggest the two if you make up fot boring the rest of us with a duel.
A duel fought by robots controlled by core functions of their operating systems-both arch based, controlled only in terminal.
Left turns are eazy, you just need to reset sound and get audio playing-will you use alsa or pulse?
Right turns are a little harder.
I'm not an ambiturner
You answered your own question
????? because she is a woman? or any other reason? really curious
I'm sure they don't think of it like that.
Doesn't stop Lemmy, as a Reddit clone, from proving it's been selecting for misogynists every time a woman dares to have an opinion on women's issues.
Sorry bud, but you don't get to just write everyone's opinion off like that.
Pizzacake has some absolutely trash takes, and we're allowed to criticise her for that.
Why did you delete this?
I don't think making it personal is worth doing even if it's true.
Or did you realise how idiotic you sound?
If that helps you in your very sad life, go for it.
I really don't think you're in a position to criticise there.
What are your specific criticisms?
In this particular instance, stating the blindingly obvious. There's no nuance here, no clever satire, nobody's views will be changed, just a pointless comic with bland art and a strawman argument.
Do you outspokenly apply this criticism to other creators in the comments sections, as that is a very standard criticism in this genre of creators, even amongst the most celebrated of them, or just Pizzacake?
No other artist has the weirdly obsessive fan base she does, to keep posting and vehemently defending her mediocre slop.
Sure.
You could have just said no.
Nazis and their likes hate it when their idiotic world view is being exposed.
So if you don't like pizzacake because it's bland suddenly youre a nazi? Seems legit bro
Your kind of rabid fans are what I tried to get away from by leaving reddit. Nope, PCC simps are everywhere it seems
What on earth are you on about?
