I think the establishment is actually quite sensitive to unemployment figures because people that are unemployed have time to demonstrate.
Sounds like a nice time for prison populations to increase and get back that labor for cheap.
Almost felt like they were gonna pull that one with the No Kings protests
Panama is on strike now for factory shutdowns
The pizzacake haters are proving this place is similar to reddit.
More like PCC's rabid fans are making this like reddit. It was reddit where she threatened to sue over parodies of her comics... I don't think we need toxic shit like PCC over here at lemmy
I don't even get it, it's not an offensive comic, the artist has a good sense of topical humor, nothing about it is edgy by today's standards.
I feel like it's the exact same thing that happened with figures like Greta Thunberg, where some chud got ahead of it by doing some "cringe reaction" bullshit and since then it's all people associate with the content because people broadly are easily swayed even by people they wouldn't normally agree with.
No, really, everyone needs to understand this: your opinions are not your own, the more you think they are, the more likely you've been influenced by someone, somewhere. Whenever you see a lot of people hating on something for no real reason, it's just mindless herd mentality.
I'm sure someone is now going to type up a reply explaining exactly why they hate it... after just now thinking about it for the first time.
Ooh, my opinion is my own here.
I was completely out of the loop with who this creator was when I one day scrolled through /r/comics/top, wasn't aware of the drama, the circlejerk, you name it.
Her comedy is bottom of the barrel, obvious, decades old takes, that appeal to an era of the internet when comedy was written by those who had the technical know-how to engage with the internet - i.e., unfunny people.
Panel 1: she's eating airline food, followed by 3 panels of silly "yucky food" faces. Final panel "you expect people to eat this stuff??".
Panel 1: "honey will you take out the trash" followed by 3 frames of a guy beating up trash. Final frame, pizza cake self insert looking exasperated at the mess.
Panel 1: she's excitedly buying stuff from the bargain bin, followed by 3 panels of all her purchases falling apart. Final panel - the "bargain" sticker falls off of "bargain bin". She has exasperated look with hair pointing out.
Panel 1: she's sleeping awkwardly, followed by three panels of different awkward sleeping poses. Final panel, husband is waking up refreshed, she says "maybe we need to swap pillows"
All of these are technically jokes and/or observations, but just know that if you think these are worth illustrating and sharing, what you consider good comedy is about 15-30 seconds of effort, or the absolute first thing that came to my mind.
People don't like PC because her comics sit amongst others who exert effort to - at the very least - add a second layer to their comedy. It's unearned accolades given to the undeserving.
I rarely even come across them.
Lord forbid there is comics in the comics community.
Where would we be without Pizzacake to state the blindingly obvious?
I guess i just don't get criticisms like this. They have been rerunning family circle for 50 years and Garfield as it turns out is better without Garfield, but this kind of banality is just too far?
Daily comics are mostly garbage with the occasional, possibly even accidental, brilliance.
Even Garfield took bigger risks than she does bud.
Oh boy! Another pizzacake to downvote!
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.
Blanket downvoting stuff just makes you a useless hater. Downvote the ones that are just saying things that aren't funny or parody. At least this one is using irony to be a comic, whether or not you care about it or the artist.
The sad part is... I'm living picture 1 right now, with the Microsoft outsourcing my team to be lead from india and reducing manpower from 12 to five and thinking the service will be as good as before... first they wanted the bakers do the work of a pastry chefs and the pastry chefs do the work of the bakers. Now they want the bakers and the pastry chefs to do the butchers job too.
Oh my Ford the drahmah
I think the people who actually want to work might be in the minority?
I guess most people want to contribute to society, or earn money, or both.
Truthfully, I want to work. I just don't like having to play the game because the game sucks and I'm terrible at it. Let me just do the work.
it's interesting to hear this!
i have very poor understanding of how many people in society actually want to work, and i'm currently trying to figure this out.
