        Some people don’t like her because she makes a lot of comics that are like, “Haha, I have portrayed myself as the chad and you as the wojak, therefore I am superior!” Without having any actual comedic value. Example 1, Example 2 (both are reddit links, you have been warned).

        She also threatened r/bonehurtingjuice with legal action to make them ban remixes of her comics, something not even Stonetoss (the Nazi comic everyone hates) has done.

          Don’t forget about the comic she made downplaying the seriousness of male r*pe on mens mental health awareness day, and the arguments she participated in under her own post with male victims of SA.

          So dine people don’t like her because she tells them to piss off? Not a bad reason for me.

            She used to be pretty funny years ago, before she started focusing on hating her haters instead of making actual funny stuff. She started doing things like making a comic she knew would piss off some bigots in the comments, then making another comic (or a few) making fun of the people that hated on her to farm karma from the people who saw the original comic. Some people like that. It’s just a bit too toxic for me. I blocked her account a long time ago, so idk what she’s making these days.

          What is this shit? Every single time I see this uninspired bullshit-ass half-cocked nonsense it’s absolutely nothing. There is no joke here. There is no subtext. There is no comedy. This is just a series of vignettes showing things that wouldn’t be interesting if they happened to me. I wouldn’t find this engaging if I witnessed it occurring from across the room, and yet this artist has decided it deserved to be committed to MS Paint so that we could all witness their mundane life in perpetuity.

          I mean, seriously, is this an NFT-type scam or something? Are they using their Patreon to launder money, and driving upvotes here in order to create the illusion that they could realistically be receiving that much? I just cannot fathom that something so “haha relatable” without the “haha” bit could be generating THOUSANDS of positive interactions.

          That was pretty funny.

          I found both examples kinda marginally funny.

          Nothing nowhere near anything that would be reason to downvote some other piece of her work, like the one in the OP.

          Beyond that, call me old fashioned, but copyright is copyright.

            Yep, if they’re funny to you, then good for you. I’m not trying to claim that she’s objectively bad or anything like that. I’m just explaining why a lot of people don’t like her.

          those examples are terrible. does she not get to respond to all the hate she gets because she’s an artist or because she’s a woman?

          either way you answer you’re wrong because anyone has the ability to respond to the hate and vitriol they receive.

          I don’t know what’s more pathetic Example 1, Example 2 ; that fact that people are so butthurt over her they have to go out of their way to make her sound shitty, or the fact that people go out of their way to mention how much they hate her.

          don’t like her? just ignore her, she can’t hurt you. just move on man…it’s just making you look sad and pathetic.

              cool story bro.

              it’s not what you said, it’s that you said anything at all.

              did you guys ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, the reason why she makes fun of you is because you keep coming back with more hate? that she gains far more impressions and traffic on pointing out the hate and engaging with it instead of allowing it to steamroll her? that she somehow feels empowered when she calls out the sexist and vile shit people say to her–online–in public–for everyone to see?

              of course not. why would you? you see pizzacake and you just get filled with so much raw emotion you can’t control yourself and lash out like a child only to be driven to attack…a comic artist…

              stop acting like a petulant child.

                This shit is exactly why I don’t what pizzacake’s bullshit here. For some fucking reason if you dare say anything short of “great comic” you are immediately lambasted as some kind of social miscreant who must be motivated by anti-women rhetoric.

                You are not allowed to dislike pizzacake comics.

                “You don’t have to comment, you can just scroll!”

                We’re fucking allowed to discuss content online, even critically.

                But not pizzacake. For some reason pizzacake is fucking sacred and if you aren’t actively licking the shit out of her asshole you’re literally the devil.

                This is exactly the fucking problem.

                I haven’t spoken about PCC in, possibly, multiple years. I only posted because I was answering someone’s question.

                did you guys ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, the reason why she makes fun of you is because you keep coming back with more hate?

                Well, she’s not making fun of me because I don’t leave those kinds of comments on her posts, but yeah, this is literally what I just said she was doing. It’s called rage-baiting and it’s going really well for her because the popularity she gains from it translates to Patreon memberships.

                you see pizzacake and you just get filled with so much raw emotion you can’t control yourself and lash out like a child only to be driven to attack…a comic artist…

                If by raw emotion you mean mild disappointment at the lack of a punchline, sure.

                Just spitballing here, but it seems like you’re trying to turn me into something I’m not so that you have a target to spew hatred on. I’m not one of those people raging in the comments about “trans bad, me angry!11!” that I’m sure you love to hurl insults at on Reddit. I’m just someone that doesn’t like comics that I don’t find humorous.

                  just so I can get the message clear from you.

                  1. you don’t want to interact with PCC at all
                  2. you have zero intention of hurling insults
                  3. you aren’t a rage baiting troll.

                  if that’s true then why did you;

                  • click on a post about a PCC comic
                  • read through the comments and pick the one comment that was rage bait to respond to
                  • provide a low effort “explanation” about why anyone should hate PCC with examples of the artist “retaliating” against her outspoken critics

                  I’m going to be honest with you, I’m having a really hard time understanding the logic you used to get here. so help me out.

                  you say you don’t like comics you don’t find humorous, yet you go out of your way to waste your time and effort to post a comment supporting a narrative that the artist is a terrible person for…defending themselves? not only that, you continue to return again and again to defend your position on an artist you claim you don’t care about…

                  from my perspective, it seems like you’re either a rage-baiting troll or you’re an enraged simp that’s upset because you feel personally attacked by a woman and now that your views are getting called out you’re too embarrassed and emotional to take a step back and evaluate your opinion.

                  give me a third option here, I’m not seeing a lot of other ways to view you right now.

                    click on a post about a PCC comic

                    Because they’re not all bad comics and I thought this one was kinda funny, so I wanted to read the comments.

                    read through the comments and pick the one comment that was rage bait to respond to

                    You mean the really highly downvoted person saying they downvoted the post? I didn’t reply to them. I replied to the person asking a simple question.

                    provide a low effort “explanation” about why anyone should hate PCC with examples of the artist “retaliating” against her outspoken critics

                    What, did you expect me to write an essay on the subject?

                    not only that, you continue to return again and again to defend your position on an artist you claim you don’t care about

                    I wouldn’t be on forums like this at all if I wasn’t bored. Are you frustrated that by continuing to reply, I’ve prevented you from getting the last word in?

                    give me a third option here, I’m not seeing a lot of other ways to view you right now.

                    I’m someone that used to like Pizzacake’s comics and gradually went from excited when I recognized the art style in my feed to annoyed that it was probably going to be another comic without a real punchline, eventually just blocking her account entirely to stop it from showing up.

                    What exactly are you hoping to achieve here? I know why I’m here (boredom), but what are you trying to get me to say that would satisfy you? From my perspective, you seem to be attempting to manufacture bigotry where there is none so you can feel righteous indignation and have an enemy to tear down.

                She’s not actually making fun of them, though, she’s making fun of a stereotype which she imagines her “haters” to be.

                The two linked examples are pretty much the definition of a strawman argument.

        If you look at the subject matter she covers, it’s typically very safe, middle of the road stuff, at least considering her fan base, see MAGA BAD here as an example.

        As a result, her comics are very middle of the road, bland and unimaginative.

              Right, so when Bernie Sanders says socialism is good, that’s a bland “middle of the road” take given his fan base?

              If so, what even is the criticism supposed to mean?

          It’s annoying how often political comics aren’t funny at all. They’re just bile. I guess some people find it affirming? I always just roll my eyes when I see this stuff, even when I agree with the message.
