Crazy how many folks can't scroll past something they aren't interested in. And not thoughtful critiques. Just whining really. Their delicate eyes witnessed it, thus they were compelled to come make a comment.
I don't think I'd ever find it appropriate to whine in the comments of a user's post, over a post breaking no rules. I have, and would... just scroll by.
I don't see "No Pizza Cake" in the rules... why would someone think it would just never show up?
-
I think it's basically internet law at this point, if Pizzacake is posted, cranky men must make it known that they find her (and her comics) cRinGe and mEdiOcRe and also she's a mAnHaTer (dontchaknow).
-
And yet they subscribe to her OF
-
-
i mean, the best punishment for bad art is lack of engagement.
I don't think pizzacake is a troll (as in makes bad comics so it gets negative engagement), but here we are.
People complaining about her in the comments actually helps her.
if you don't like it, just move along, don't give hold her in your head like that zen story about crossing the river with a girl.
-
I'll be honest, I kinda wanted lemmy to not have the same mentality as the audience of r/comics who just straight up hate all men. But it looks like these comments are kind of a warzone. I wonder if the mods from that sub have any power here? They defend her from even polite and constructive criticism.
-
-
This comic is neither funny nor thoughtful. I’d say it’s getting the critique it deserves.
-
I found d it funny. It's almost like funny is a subjective thing.
-
-
-
-
I think I saw three of them in the comments already!
-
Don’t know the artist besides what hits the front page here
Isn’t it kind of fucking awesome that douchebags are getting owned?
-
I'm happy to be honest, I agree with some of these (obv not the bitch slut or nazi ones). You need another square pointing out how the r/comics mods defend her to a kind of insane level, and definitely give her preferential treatment over other comic artists.
-
-
Turns out, lemmy has a massive misogyny problem going on ¯(ツ)/¯
-
Yep. Came to the comments and immediately saw they were out in force. I mod !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al and although the majority of men who've turned up have been great, we've had some misogynists mansplaining and being petty. Fortunately we're women only
-
Lol i saw over 300 comments and thought "the real comedy is gonna be all the tears"
And by gawd theres a whole evening's worth of laughs here.
Wooo! Keep em coming boys!

If you don't think my joke is funny you're a racist

What can you expect from a bunch of white dudes?

I feel like this is one of those conversations you make up in your head and it's kinda cringe to write it down.
-
From my experience men often underestimate how often women face weirdos. While the whole conversation might happen only in authors head the initial comment of the guy is quite a regular thing. It is a form of bullying. The rest of the conversation might happen in the authors head only, but it's sad that women have to face such behavior in the first place IMO. If you don't think such conversation happens at all, you might get enlightened by the everyday sexism project, the related (audio)book, or just ask a friendly woman around you if they ever faced it. https://everydaysexism.com/
-
Actually it is a regular thing among the asshole "manosphere" crowd (i.e. the pathetic fucking losersphere).
-
Just look at this thread. People are out in force acting superior to her and putting her down for having an only fans. Theyre providing unsolicited feedback, acting "high valued" without even realize theyre doing it. This comic is showing how she sees the unsolicited feedback from these people on the internet, and calls it out as it is, inconsequential to her life. And what do those very same people do? Get even more upset.
Frankly, i knew nothing about this lady before this thread happened. It's been a wild ride for me to follow
-
I didn't even realize she did nudes in her patreon until someone mentioned it. He of course totally hates it but periodically checks on it (to see if its still there and shes still doing it) using a website that skips the paywall.
-
-
Big shower-arguement energy for sure.
-
-
Who is pizzacake and why do so many commenters dislike them?
-
This dog shit comic being spammed on *eddit was a good reason to leave that shithole
-
You’re welcome to make your own comic if you think you can do better.
-
now now. that's just a stupid stance to take. you don't have to make media to be critical of it.
or do you have to make a podcast to say joe rogan's slop is toxic, diseased, and damaging to society?
-
It's just a cover for her... erm, alternative content.
-
-
Are you afraid spez is going to come to your house and lick your feet while you sleep if you say Reddit? Nothing more pathetic than self-censorship. Say the fucking word or pick another one.
-
It's for wh€n you hat€ someth*ng so much that you treat it as a sluπ. If you don't like it that's fine but as people who dislike pizzacake should do move on or block it.
-
-
Well something similar happened that haunts my childhood till this day.
-
-
-
The great thing about lemmy is that if you don't like a post, there is another one under it.
-
she's had some real shitty opinions but she's generally in the right ballpark.
-
Yeah, on this topic I feel like she’s in the ballpark. My girlfriend and I game in the same spaces but we don’t always announce that we are together IRL for privacy sake. And we are both very independent people.
The amount of weird dudes she’s ran into that have used “high value man” or “high value woman” is absolutely more than one. They’re pretty common to bump into in online spaces.
The last time she ran into a problem with a dude like this—she read me the chat as it was going down. The guy was clearly into her but couldn’t handle that she was taken and had no interest. So, this random dude proceeded to call me a cuck (hahaha), asked if I “knew what she was up to” (gaming? lol), and that no high value man would want her! He did this in a public gaming space too and about 50 people thankfully dog piled and ratioed him into oblivion.
Oh well! I guess she’s stuck with “her low value cuck man” who makes her coffee in bed every morning and with whom she raised a cute and healthy family with. She’s allowed to do whatever she wants and her male doesn’t even try to control her. How horrible! She’ll never recover!
These dudes are dangerous in numbers. Which is why they deserve and need to be mocked mercilessly until they fuck off or get therapy.
-
I generally agree with her opinions, but there's more to thinking a comic is good than pointing at it and going "wow i think that too." They always just seem like super generic "relatable" jokes, and it's crazy that they always get 50 billion upvotes.
-
Honestly, who didn't?
-
The only comic of hers that I've found morally objectionable was years ago now, and framed around complaining about her kids.
It had thousands of downvotes (on reddit) and all the comments were calling her out for being entierly responsible for her situation as a parent, and telling her to suck it up and step up because bitching out her kids like that was damaging them, unproductive and absolutely not funny.
Out of the thousands of comic panels of hers that I've seen, that's really not a bad track record at all.
-
-
-
I don't see what's dogshit about it. Maybe you just don't like it?
Fits the current comic btw.
-
Yeah, the virtue signaling is at an insane level, but the author never seems to take their own advice or take it well when anyone points out their blind spots.
-
Lol. Dog shit comments like this being posted on reddit was a good reason to leave that shithole.
I'm not a fan of her comics, I just don't find them very funny. But the level of unconstructive hate she gets is absurd. Just move on if you don't like the comics. If you really dislike them, just block the user or community. It's not hard. Grow up.
-
we don't want you here
-
-
Fun fact: no one is forcing you to read comics you dislike! If you don't like a post, you are allowed to scroll past it.
-
You sound decaffeinated.
-
I'd suggest 4chan as a more suitable alternative buuuuut...
-
-
This made me chuckle out loud thanks for sharing! Do you mind if I share it in !Witchesvspatriarchy@lemmy.ca
-
Honestly if someone is referring to themselves as "high value" anything then it's pretty clearly a low value thought. Doesn't really matter who they are.
-
-
If they have anything of high value, it may be their component parts. Lightly used kidneys are at a premium right now.
-
-
Why is it that everytime I see this artist nowadays it's just a preachy kill-a-strawman comic? I remember them being funny back in the day, what happened? Did they change, did I? Am I mistaking a shite copycat for an artist I remember fondly? Is this what senility feels like? How was your day?
-
Is it really a strawman when we see actual headlines about public figures acting this way?
-
A strawman? What the fuck are you talking about?
-
He apparently identified with the arrogant man in the comic.
-
Why would I answer a self-avowed big stupid idiot who poops their pants and kisses their sister???

Don't gaslight people lol
-
-
you see, when somebody says something mean to you online, spending your time on 4-panel is the best way to prove how not mad you are, consult some Dobson webcomics if you need examples.
-
-
At first, I thought people were exaggerating by calling her comics a strawman, as the situation mentioned in the comic above happens too commonly.
I did a little digging and found this deleted thread.
To my surprise she turned out exactly like people she seems to be calling out.
Edit: added url
Edit 2: She didn't respond and went radio silent on people who shared their experience and called her out.
Edit 3 : Found this in the same thread
lol, this feels like the convo in a nutshell…
Alice: “Bob, I’ll bet you could never imagine what it would feel like if X happened to you.”
Bob: “Actually X has happened to me.”
Alice: “Jesus fucking Christ, Bob! Not everything’s about you!”

Literally undressing you with her eyes.
Edit: i guess the old "literally" jokes died off.

I’ve seen the worst from both sides. Everyone with either a testicle or an ovary can sit right the fuck down.
But that's just it, right? Your experience is an outlier in the typical male experience. I myself have never experienced those kinds of things, but I am sorry you have.
The problem is, that women experience these types of things far more than men do. It is wrong that it happens to males as well, but that type of sentiment (hey, guys have it bad too!) is exactly why the slogans "All Lives Matter" versus "Black Lives Matter" is a huge deflection on a problematic issue.
Sure, all lives matter, but when there is a disproportionate amount of black people having actions happen that put their lives in danger, re-framing the argument only serves to obscure that reality even further.
I think it's important to realize there is a time and place for grievance, and when it is someone trying to relate their struggle, it isn't helpful to mention "well yeah, I have it bad too". Imagine saying that to a widower: "you lost your wife? I lost my husband and my son!" Comparing burdens does nothing to address the suffering of another, and it doesn't bring to light the scope of the issue when it is a group that experiences more adversity than another.
The fact of the matter is, we live in a male-dominated society, and as such we experience a much, much different reality than women do. Same with minority ethnic groups. And to marginalize those already marginalized groups even further by bringing up our (very real at times) struggles feels like a slight to them.
I do believe that there is a very real need to talk about toxic attitudes held towards things that happen towards men, which is important because it is mainly due to our status, these issues are all too often swept under the rug or minimized because those things "don't happen to men". That is wrong, and is a very real problem.
-
Any chance you’d be willing to dm me a selfie? Your stories are fascinatingly fucked up and I’d like to calibrate the level of attractiveness needed for women to become rapey savages.

Damn this comic has L A Y E R S
-
I'm only reading one layer. What are others?
-
Its a call out the her haters. Look at this thread and how many people think theyre better than her for what ever reason. Shes telling them she doesnt give a shit about their opinion
-
She's probably not even married, among others, but is still playing into the prescribed gender role to troll the masc even harder. OR, she is married, but probably her relationship has some elements that are still considered "niche" or "deviant" by society at large. Or, maybe NONE of that is true, either, which is yet another layer relating to assumptions people make based on the behavior and self-expression of others

a misogyny onion

-
The fox has many clever tricks, but the hedgehog has one big trick.
-
-
Whats the joke here?
-
There's no joke. People seem to enjoy feeling either superior or outraged or both and the name of the game is user engagement. That's how you end up with this type of thing.
-
-
Can we please not bring pizza cake comics over from reddit? They're so mid they aren't even funny. Strawman comics that show off the author's frustrations.
-
Or we bring all content and you can just skip the crap you don't like. You know, like most of us do with other things.
-
I agree that skipping content is the way to go, Lemmy is federated and all that, but I don't think it works with a post like this.
This post somehow got 1.2k likes but there's no real discussion in the comments (mainly about the author like we are discussing right now) and it doesn't contribute anything of value to the site. It's a post that most people probably scroll past without giving it any thought, like, and immediately forget - the worst type of social media content for which I don't see a reason to exist here.
I like Lemmy because it has a kind of "people using a website" feel instead of a "generic content slop feed" vibe like reddit, tiktok, ect. I think Lemmy, as a community, should encourage high quality OC content on the platform instead of accepting generic and forgettable posts like this and just saying "ignore it".
-
I'm with you on this one.
-
-
It makes the normies feel like their virtues are being validated, let them have it.
-
-
Wow, some folks need to remember that online life isn't real life...
Please, go touch some grass before you scare some normie by talking about your favorite/most-hated web comic.

Blocking this community for pizzacake spam lately
-
-
This ain't an airport, we don't care about your departure.
-
Cool story bro
-
Okay, and?
-
-
🌝 in this meme I portray myself as the chad and you as the wojak
-
-
comparing it to the best comics
Indeed, it's not The Family Circus nor The Lockhorns...
-
-
I don't know why political comics are so annoying. It's like even if I agree with the creator's political views, I still don't find them funny.
Political memes are usually funny, though. You'd think it would be the other way around, because comics take more effort to make.

💯
-
Getting a great blocklist from the comments, i'll tell ya that
-
-
-
You can block the person or sub-lemmy. Yay federation!
-
I think comm or /c is the proper nomenclature.
-
-
-
-
-
Or has Situs Inversus
-
-
lemmy users when they see a lukewarm webcomic (they can just block the community)
-
Are these Questionable Content characters?
-
No. Different comics, different artists, different themes. - But some similarity in visual style.
-
It does look a little similar, but I don't think it's related.
-
Questionable Content is a worlds better artist, this "artist" routinely recycles old art into new slop targeted at r/all
-
-
-
Lemmy got a bit worse lately sadly
Truth to be said Lemmy has negative resistance to bad actors due to its nature and implementation.
If we treat social media like stock market then fundamental analysis of Lemmy does not bode well for long term investment so to speak.
Or to put it yet another way. Lemmy is less shitty than reddit and that says a lot about how enshittified and unusable Reddit is in 2025
-
Probably just because she's constantly on the front page of Reddit. I had blocked her there which solved the problem for me. But if she starts getting reposted a lot here there's no escaping it.
Not to downplay the fact that there are some loud mysogynists. But there are legitimate artistic crituques that shouldn't be lumped in with them.
-
Instead of becoming an incel, you should first consider acting like the woman in this comic when somebody doesn't want to date you.
-
i enjoy pizzacake! glad to still see her work here

What kind of narcissistic fuck refers to himself as "high value man"
It’s taking the piss out of Andrew Tate and the gullible guys that he’s convinced are superior to women.
From all the trending news articles, ten year old boys who got access to tik tok
it's definitely not just the ten year olds that think this shit.
I still have both kidneys, so I'd say I'm pretty "high-value"
Same vibes when guys call themselves kings, or girls call themselves queens.
Just look at this thread. How many people in this thread are acting superior to her because she has an only fans or because of some other stupid reddit reason. The people are acting "high valued" and superior even if they dont say it. She's literally using this comment to tell readers that these peoples opinions have no influence on her life, and all its doing is making them more upset. To me, that's why this comic is funny
Yea, it's kind of a shit show. When I posted there were no other comments yet.
A manosphere twat, that's who.
Leon Musk, for example.
Let me guess, someone who’s such an egregious self-important A-hole that they are unfuckable? But I’m just guessing.
The kind made of straw
Narcissus was always trying to dodge annoying suitors, so I don't think he'd want to call himself high value in that context.
