pizzacake is a woman with opinions. misogynists hate her for that. One time, she didn’t handle that very well. Lots of people got banned on reddit. Now people here mostly bitch about her comics being “low effort” and such, which mostly just reveals “I don’t have a legit argument to hate this person so I’m going to pointlessly criticise her work instead.”
As I’ve said in another comment, if some rando did the same scenario in ragemaker and posted it, everyone would be all over how relatable it is.
That said, it is possibly to simply not like the artstyle, or to not find the scenario relatable, or whatever criticism a person might have. Divorced of context, those criticisms sound valid. With context though, it becomes obvious that it is popular to persecute pizzacake.
I should clarify, I’m not claiming that everyone who is criticizing pizzacake is a misogynist. I am however saying that it is popular among misogynists to bully women artists and call it “criticism”, thus, the presence of certain kinds of criticism indicates an increased likelihood that the “critic” is actually a misogynist, even if the criticisms at face value are legitimate.
I shouldn’t need to have a law degree to write a comment in a comics forum.
The parallels are stark indeed. Divorced of context, it’s perfectly reasonable to accept the argument that Rey is a poorly written character (because she is). Normal, well adjusted people were able to accept that the sequel trilogy sucks for numerous reasons, Rey being a poorly written character being one of them, and then move on. The problem with this criticism isn’t the criticism itself, but rather the people who bang on and on and on about it reveal that they didn’t have a problem with the writing, they had a problem with a female character having agency.
“Mind what people do, not just what they say, for deeds will betray a lie.”
For some reason PCC:s supporters never mention that she threatened to sue a subreddit for making fun of her comics. “One time she didn’t handle that very well” that’s putting it very mildly. PC is just toxic
My dude, are you calling me a simp? I didn’t know she had a patreon before today, and I wouldn’t be a subscriber even if I did. There’s infinite porn available for free. Everything I know about pizzacake is from the comment sections (and included links) of the last 3 times one of her comics made it into my feed. I have some basic reading and comprehension skills, so it’s not hard for me to quickly see exactly what’s going on here.
That’s her biggest platform by far, so I think what they said is fair game. Does Mastodon never talk about what happens on Twitter or BlueSky? The fact Reddit is a cesspool doesn’t mean we should pretend it doesn’t exist.
But we’re not…? Someone just asked “what’s the drama?” and someone matter-of-factly said what the drama is. What makes you think anything here is imitating Reddit?
I’m not making prescriptions, man, I’m just telling you how people use the word. You have to think about how people use hyperbole.
Mid is often used in reference to things that are culturally popular, and so is a way to denigrate them. In that way, the person is saying “actually, Marvel’s not that good,” or “eh, it’s not really worth your time,” or “you seem kinda stupid for liking trash media so much.”
In other contexts, ‘mid’ can mean ‘average’ just fine: “Not good, not bad. Worth one go around, maybe.” That’s why I said it does and it doesn’t.
I fail to understand why posting a pair of tits is such a controversial thing to do
Pizzacake makes a lot of feminist leaning comics which heavily criticize the patriarchy, male objectification of women and “creepy” men who comment sexual things towards women.
In light of that, a lot of people find it hypocritical that she’d sell pictures of herself online for dudes to jerk off to when that’s the exact opposite audience her comics tries to appeal to.
When the leak first happened, she presented the narrative as though her consent was violated and she was being sexually harassed by having private nudes released. When people found out that she was selling the photos publicy for money, suddenly it became aparent we werent talking about sexual abuse we were talking about piracy. It got a lot of people irritated for having been mislead, and then they started asking why the photos were there in the first place.
If she knows that she is the target of harassment campaigns, a lot of people are confused as to why she would post her nudes in a public space and not expect them to leak.
Given the fact she is a public figure who regularly makes comics out of her children, regularly gets doxxed and is targetted by hate, you would expect her to be a bit smarter about what she puts online. She’s been online for years but seeks to lack basic understanding of cause and effect online (or else she understands it all too well and plays the victim perfectly to promote herself by baiting outrage incredibly effectively).
The part of it that bothers me personally is that there are kids involved and there is a 100% chance that all the kids at her son’s school know and have looked up these nudes and her son probably gets bullied about it.
She is a proud misandrist and a camgirl. Also the punchline of most of her comics is that impotent rage allows her to yell louder than any opinions she disagrees with.
I’m out of the loop, what’s the pizza cake drama?

Ah, I remember having these arguments about whether Star Wars 7 should have let Rey be a woman. Uh, I mean, a Mary Sue.

Is that what the narrative is now? I think the critics would have mentioned it last time, they were very thorough and even cited sources.
Which tier of her patron do you subscribe to?

I’m not your dude, guy.
My apologies for calling you a dude against your will.
Also, Guy is my father, but that’s besides the point.
The rest of my comment still stands.
Is it pronounced Guy or Gee?
Guy, kinda like Hai, but with the G from Gif.
Jai?

She has an only fans??! o.O zomg
Thanks lemmy566567 for letting me know! I’ll check it out right now!
I didn’t know who she was or her gender when I said I hate her art style is almost as much as Ben Garrison’s.
her comics are
midmediocre and you will catch a ban if you say that in r/comicsI wasn’t aware we’re bringing Reddit dramas to fester on Lemmy
That’s her biggest platform by far, so I think what they said is fair game. Does Mastodon never talk about what happens on Twitter or BlueSky? The fact Reddit is a cesspool doesn’t mean we should pretend it doesn’t exist.
It doesn’t mean we should imitate them either
But we’re not…? Someone just asked “what’s the drama?” and someone matter-of-factly said what the drama is. What makes you think anything here is imitating Reddit?
The rest of the comments under the post? Like half of them are recreating the same drama all over
Calling her comics mid as fuck? I mean they are, but that isn’t “drama”.

I’ll try not to let it happen again.
To be fair “your comic sucks” is kind of a dickish thing to comment.
Excuse me, I thought mid meant something along the lines of mediocre, not suck.
I’m being hyperbolic.
OK. I’m not being hyperbolic.
And you were correct
It does.
It does and doesn’t.
It means ‘middle’, but to be ‘middle’ in a world of greats is to be lame and worth very little.
Think about it this way: when someone says something sucks, no one ever corrects them “nah, it’s mid,” like in a positive way.
It wasn’t intended to be either a slight or a compliment.
If you ain’t first, you’re last? Nah. That don’t make no sense.

People are reading something into it that I didn’t intend, so I changed it. I’m not arguing about how other people use it or saying you are wrong.
Its kind of a dick move to start writing hate comments under a comic that you find mildy displeasing.
Yeah, if you have like… actual constructive feedback go for it, but “this is mid/low effort” really isn’t helpful
Yeah, I agree.

Like the green knight, for example.
