    The arrogance of “I’m being downvoted because people who disagree with me are groyper chuds” is precisely why such sanctimonious virtue-signaling nonsense gets downvoted in the first place.

    I downvote Pizza Cake because it sucks. Sometimes you just have to stop looking for deeper meaning.

        It’s no better or worse than similar comics

        Yes, that’s what I said. It sucks.

        you just hate the creator

        No, I hate the comic. Stop projecting your identity politics horseshit. It’s possible to just think something is unfunny cliched garbage.

          Okay so you just have no sense of humor, if you think most popular comics are humorless.

          Given how froth at the mouth angry you seem to be about this, while your stated position is certainly possible for someone to have, it’s way more likely you’re simply lying.

          Just look at how you’ve straw manned my position by bringing up identity politics. You’re either arguing in bad faith because you’re very angry or because you never had a good faith opinion about her comics in the first place.

        I hated this comic well before I knew anything about the creator. Care to explain how I still have a pile of shit after separating the art from the artist?

          I know it’s fun to use hyperbole on the internet when points are at stake, but in no universe is this a “pile of shit.”

          It’s mediocre at worst, and you should check your feelings at the door.

            I understand your need to be the opinion police. You have “reddit” right there in your username so it is pretty obvious.

            I am not obligated to changing my opinion here or leaving it at the door. I am not here to mince words either. It is a bad comic and the rabid fans go to embarrassing lengths to defend it.

            If it was a mediocre comic it would not have been spammed as much as it was over on reddit. I would settle for calling it mediocre if its presence over there was also mediocre. It has grown over there like a cancerous tumor throbbing on the neck of reddit feeding off of the blood supply to the brain.

            The only good thing the comic did was make leaving reddit easier. If only it and the fans of it would have stayed there.

        Eh, “suck” is very objective.

        I personally find her art to be simplistic, and the messaging is very much “mainstream common sense”, with frequent additions of quite opinionated bits.

        Again, I don’t mind it, but I can see why for someone who expects at least a level of debate instead of having opinions force fed to them, would find her comics to “suck”.

          So… every popular comic then?

          Also how are you going into comics expecting a “debate?” It’s a one way visual medium. Do you expect to debate a movie when you watch one?

            There can be debate in a comic. As in, characters bringing up talking points and the winner argument winning based on logic.

            Do you see that in this comic? Or in most of PizzaCake’s work?

            Also, “every popular comic”? Fuck no. Most actually get you to think. You can state the obvious AND make it a thought exercise. The latter is completely missing here.
