        Yep. I’m a patron of Elk and it’s always disheartening to see them ask everyone to boost it on reddit. I understand it’s their best platform, but it’d be nice for other platforms to also be utilized. I mostly just don’t see Pizzacake anymore unless I open instagram.

        In general having more original creators here posting their own work consistently is a good thing if we want to grow the platform.

        Showing that it can be good to post here for creators will make more creators want to post here leading to an overall improvement in this community.

            Comic artists have a big interest in creating consistent quality content Because it’s like their whole job

            While not everyone has the same tastes, so some comics (like this one for example) aren’t something everyone wants to see, it’s better for the creator to be here posting it so the individual user can just block her and never see them again. With the creator posting them they all come from the same source vs with random people posting where you have to stamp out each individual one.

            One of the big problems people have with Lemmy atm is the lack of content. Convincing people that posting here is a good thing will pretty much entirely remove that. Plus comic makers very much have an interest in keeping the content QUALITY high as well so it won’t just be more posts It’ll be more high quality posts.

              This is a link aggregation website. It doesn’t matter who posts the content. You’re thinking of OnlyFans.

                  It really isn’t. Self promotion is pretty terrible for a link aggregation site. You used to be limited in the ratio of what you could post between yours and other content. Then The Other Site decided it was social media. Now you want here to be social media too. No thanks 👍

        If she joined Lemmy then I could block her account and I wouldn’t have to see her comics (as I did on Reddit). As it stands I don’t really want to block OPs account since they post and comment lots of different stuff. It’s nice to be able to block a specific creator from their own account rather than play whack-a-mole with freebooters.

        And before people start saying I’m misogynist or something, I’m not. There are plenty of women webcomic artists I like. Extraordinary Comics and War and Peas just to name a couple. I just find pizzacake to be incredibly boring, low hanging fruit and barely even funny at all. Not trying to hurt feelings, I just don’t like her stuff and prefer to block it from my feed.

          Wow. I’m pleasantly surprised there is someone else here who shares a similar opinion in those comics. There just incredibly cringy. It’s hard to put a fine point on it, but you nailed it.

          Low hanging fruit.

          Not everything needs to be complicated, but this is lowest common denominator or obvious pandering for likes. It’s borderline embarrassing.

            Yes exactly. And to be fair I actually kinda like her art style. It’s just that her jokes are so incredibly bland. It’s been a while since I saw them regularly, by my recollection is that they’re all either DAE have unhealthy habits? or “lol wardrobe malfunction amiright?

            Same. There isn’t a single pizzacake comic in my folders and never will be. They’re just not good. Every single one is painfully low hanging fruit. Like this “joke” would be used in a half second throwaway gag on a sitcom. It’s not strong enough for a comic. But that’s like Every comic Pizzacake makes. That or half of her comics are just her complaining about something.

            Fucking pass.

          Upvote because you’re just sharing an opinion and it isn’t wrong.

          I like pizza cake, there are plenty of comics I don’t like, why does anyone care who you don’t like when all you’re asking for is better curation tools.

              You could use an app that has a keyword filter like Boost. I use it to reduce the number of posts I see about certain topics or politicians. It isn’t perfect, like if OP used the punchline as the title as so many like to do.

          As the OP, I appreciate not being blocked. I’m definitely not trying to freeboot or anything. My main goal with my entire account is to just boost the engagement on Lemmy in general and pizzacake is a creator a lot of people enjoy despite the comics being fine (generally the easiest option with every punchline).

          More people using Lemmy consistently means we’re more likely to grow as a platform which will in turn improve other areas and so on and so forth. Especially with this being an open source project, more users means more people willing/able to help on the codebase itself so the entire platform improves as a result.

          Ultimately I agree with you that her joining herself would be better because you can just block her and be done with it. Her popularity would also probably bring engagement and yada yada as previously said.

          Realistically I’ll probably just not post her comics in the future since I hadn’t heard about the annoying critic bashing stuff she did and I don’t care enough about her work to try and hold on past annoying stuff.

                I bet you would have assumed I am a misogynist if I hadn’t mentioned it at all in my initial comment above. Something about this comic artist specifically just brings out the most rabid mental gymnastics in people. As I said, I know that she encourages this behaviour too. Before I blocked her on Reddit I remember seeing a few of her comics where the “joke” was literally just “haha look at how dumb and sexist my haters are”

                  I wouldn’t have thought twice if you didn’t make that point. IDGAF if you’re a fan of the comic artist or style. I’m not a huge fan of this comic but it’s cute and her ability to create as much as she does makes me respect her. I am a fan of the newspaper style comic strip format, she does it very well.

                  People get rapid about her because they like her and her product.

                  You bringing up misogyny says everything about YOU.

            Yeah. There’s a reason that I have never posted her comics and never will. Beyond the fact that her comics have never once made me laugh (I do not understand how this comic is supposed to be funny), she would get really antagonistic towards people and throw entire fits. That’s not the type of behavior I am a huge fan of and certainly not the behavior I want to see on lemmy.

            Let her stay on reddit.

              Yeah. She accuses anyone that doesn’t like her comics of being sexists. As if it’s impossible to just not like her shit because it’s boring and cringy.

                No. I am not. You simply need to look harder, or really just look at all. If you’re claiming that you cannot find any evidence then you simply didn’t look. Merely googling her name and the word controversy brings up more than enough examples.

      Pizzacake is a popular comic artist over on Reddit. She gained popularity mostly because she is extremely active in the comments of all of her posts. She is constantly chatting and attempting to make friends.

      As for why she is disliked, there’s a few reasons.

      The one she sites the most is sexism though there isn’t actually a lot of evidence of this outside of her own testimony.

      Another is that she won’t stop talking about how people who don’t like her are sexist. She’s made multiple comics about how her critics don’t read her comics and just dislike them due to woman.

      Her jokes also tend to be the easiest possible punchline for every joke. this has a kinda weird double effect because it means that her comics are extremely applicable to most people because they are generic enough that you can fit most of them into most situations. On the flip side, if you don’t like one the comics You probably won’t like any of them They’re all similar enough to be mostly indistinguishable other than the topic itself. along that same train of thought, if you like one You’ll probably like them all.

      As for my own opinion, I don’t really care one way or the other. She’s fine. I’ve heard accusations of her paying for likes on Reddit for promoting her own comics and so on but honestly I haven’t seen any proof myself so I can’t confirm or deny any of those.

        The one she sites the most is sexism though there isn’t actually a lot of evidence of this outside of her own testimony.

        Sexism is so rampant on Reddit that saying “I’m a woman” and getting bombarded by creeps and freaks is trivial. Less a commentary on her, specifically, and more on the degenerate nature of the community.

        She’s made multiple comics about how her critics don’t read her comics and just dislike them due to woman.

        She’s producing liberal political comics, and she’s a woman, so the chuds will be out in full force screaming at her.

        At a certain point, though, its just

        https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/b730938a-3865-45ec-848d-72b2ff508f7e.jpeg

        She’s fine.

        She’s very clearly low effort. The art is flat, the comedy is mid, the political edginess is ten years out of date.

        I wonder if Netflix will be signing her any time soon.

          The art being flat as a way of saying it’s low effort is an argument I genuinely don’t understand. Comics are all low effort art wise That’s part of the whole thing.

          Comics historically have been the lowest quality you can get away with since they have to be put out every day for the newspaper. I know XKCD does more than 1 thing but the art style is literally stick figures and they’re one of the most popular web comics.

          You may not like the art but I would call it a mediocre art style more than a low effort one.

          Everything else I fully agree with. She gets the (unfortunately) normal amount of hate a woman gets online for being a woman. Which is why I made sure to do italics for it when I said lot. She tends to get significantly more support than hate in pretty much everything she does either way.

            Comics are all low effort art wise

            I strongly disagree. Plenty of comics have some very high quality and detailed art. Other comics really evolve over time, from the more basic sketches to these fully realized complex images, as the artists themselves improve. Still others are sloppy-but-ambitious, with these poorly conceived but legitimately daring efforts at capturing visuals.

            I know XKCD does more than 1 thing but the art style is literally stick figures and they’re one of the most popular web comics.

            XKCD is a great example of raw ambition in art. They routinely do shit with flash or with clever perspective tricks or panel gags that leverage a relatively simple style into something more. Case in point:

            https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/784466b7-c59b-4835-bbf9-30d97c60ab07.png

            Perspective, emotion, action, comedy, a very well-established cast of characters from simplistic visuals. All from stick-figures. There was some real thought put into this.

              Oh I’m definitely not saying anything negative about XKCD. I LOVE those comics. My point is simply that even stick figures can make good comics.

              It’s fine if you don’t like the art as art tends to be subjective. I just don’t think her art is any lower than any other average web/newspaper comic.

      She loves antagonizing those who don’t like her comics and often doubles down for extra Reddit upvotes.

      From my casual observations, she seems like a messed up person who could use a lot of self care. But to be fair, I don’t think anyone taking nude photos on only fans is in a good mental state.

            I think it can be rather empowering when you’re the one in charge of your own commodification. Sex work really can be a sticky wicket, people being taken advantage of and whatnot. Onlyfans is probably the easiest way for someone to sell their own image without being directly taken advantage of, and whether it suits your tastes or not I think that’s really positive.

            Full disclosure, I’m pretty heavily biased for this site specifically. I helped a past SO run an onlyfans and we split the income, it was really wild being a young couple who could afford things. As a side hustle it’s amazing supplemental income, as long as you’re not the jealous/narcissist type.

      Famous Redditor for being a girl, every comic will be on the front page of Reddit despite never being exceptional

      Also makes a ton of comics about how any criticism around her comics is made because she’s a woman in a man’s world

    I don’t know anything about this Pizzacake person, but I don’t think this specific comic is any worse than the average newspaper gag strip, except they wouldn’t tackle a subject like this. It didn’t make me laugh, but I also wouldn’t call it awful. I’d definitely read this over literally any Dilbert strip ever.

        I’m talking about the creator, relevant, and specifically referring to this particular comic (as well as their others) as awful and without a punchline, so that doesn’t feel like nothing about the topic to me.

            There really isn’t. The “punchline” here is predicated on the idea that the reader will assume the character will react with transphobia, as if transphobia is the default reaction, but if you don’t assume that reaction either because that’s not your worldview or you’re familiar enough with the creator to understand the context of their work, then there is nothing left to serve as a punchline. I won’t say “virtue signaling” because that’s a stupid phrase and frankly there is legitimately some value to the signaling of virtue in the first place anyway (especially when said signal is one of welcoming to a disenfranchised community like our trans brothers and sisters), but the only “joke” here is pandering. It’s “hey you expected me to be awful but I’m actually incredible!!,” and that’s not a punchline.

              It is really a punchline. Also it isn’t predicated on the reader’s reaction being transphobia. The reader could simply be aware that transphobia exists and is a common reaction to the familiar situation she depicted. You don’t need to self insert as literally one of the characters in the comics you read. She isn’t saying that you are transphobe or that she is incredible. She is making a comment about how parents and society’s reaction to a trope situation is changing.

                I didn’t say the reader, I said the character. She isn’t making any “comment” about anything here; acknowledging a situation exists is not inherently making commentary on it nor injecting humor into it. This is at best pandering, at worst pandering with an appetizer of rage-baiting.

                Do I hate this? No. Is it evil? No. Do I hate pizzacake? No. Do I even object to this awful non-punchline comic being posted here? No. The only thing I object to is the bullshit special treatment and kid gloves certain creators on the other site received for no worthwhile reasons, and am preemptively sounding the alarm that we should be wary that such behavior does not seep over here too.

                Point being, if you enjoy this comic, punchline or not, that is okay. I’m not really interested in further spending time arguing the merits or non-merits of the work of somebody I’m not interested in with you, so if you still wish to argue that there is some deep commentary or punchline to be found here, I hope we simply land on agreeing to disagree on the topic.

                  That doesn’t ring true. It is clearly a punch line, easily identified by both of us. You just don’t like it. You find it weak and bland like you do most of her work.

      They do that on Reddit? I definitely remember seeing criticism of her unfunny comics practically every time.

      I would pay at least a bit to never have to see these again. I’m not even some crazy hater, I just find them super low effort and the loyalty they have to be very very strange.

        Same. I’ll admit a few overall have made me nose laugh but most are just “yep, that’s a joke/statement I see online 20 times a week put to picture”. It’s not that I inherently dislike them, but they’re not my cup of tea and I preferred when I could just not see them.

          I wouldn’t be near as weirded out if they didn’t get the attention they do! They seem to have rabid fans and ofthis? I just don’t get it. Hell, maybe I‘m the crazy one. At this point, I’m willing to entertain this thought

    I blocked pizzacake on Reddit because the comics are terrible and now I have to look at them here.

      I feel like if you’re on a comic strip community you should expect to see various comic strips even from artists you don’t like, no? Just block the community or filter the word from titles

          Man I hate “bad take roleplay” comments.

          “How dare you [insert opposing reasonable take].

          They’re so low effort and Reddit.

            I always wanted a nice snappy title for this kind of weird trash, bad take roleplay is pretty good

        It displays it on all and I don’t mind seeing comics just not this creator because of how toxic she is.

      If you’re taking the time to whine about it in the comments then you clearly don’t care that much

      I see posts I don’t like all the time so I just scroll past them like a normal person

    “you’re a dark autumn” is the edgiest I’ve ever heard someone talk to anyone else, unless they were literally discussing with an actual season. What the fuck?

      “Dark Autumn” is just one of 12 color palettes designed to look good with certain eye/hair/skin colors. Seasonal Color Analysis is like a whole thing. It’s not supposed to be edgy.
