Will I get sued if I say pizzacake comics are shit? Because that’s what she was threatening to do to a subreddit
Please no vitriolic PCC here, her fans are so toxic
You seem to know a lot of lore here I’ve never heard of this person.
Leftists are the only one trying to fix the boat. The liberal will say we must compromise with the shooter, and try to vote him out of the boat in four years.
“Fixing the boat” implies they are successfully doing anything other than complain. Leftists are sitting in the boat yelling at the Liberal for not fixing the boat.

So you’re saying they’re yelling at the liberal to fix the boat and then the guy with the gun throws them off the boat? Doesn’t sound like you’re disagreeing with me.

I’m not the hypocrite here…neither of us are doing anything that would protect the American population from a rapist insurrectionist corrupted by Russia, I’m just admitting it while you’re pretending your impotent wails are doing anything so you can look down on everyone else.

Psh, as a leftist I’ll have you know we’ve done a lot more than complain. We went to a few protests, wrote a couple emails, and boycott stores we hardly shopped at in the first place.
I can’t speak to your town, but the leftist orgs in my area are organizing a number of efforts to help feed & house people, along with any number of events to improve the area for the people living in it. They’re also working on the political side to push for ranked-choice voting, challenging voter suppression efforts, etc.
Just because you’re not paying attention doesn’t mean they aren’t putting in the work.
We need to stop using ambiguous terms like “leftist”. It’s way too broad and doesn’t help anyone. I identify as liberal (also too broad), and I likely believe in 90% of the policies you advocate for.
Liberals are reactionaries who wish to return to a previous status quo. Leftists wish to dismantle the existing systems, and establish a socialist system. Two goals in absolute opposition to each other.
Yeah, that’s not the definition of “liberal”
This should be good. Let’s hear your version.
In political terms, “liberal” typically refers to a political and moral philosophy based on ideas of liberty, consent of the governed, and equality before the law. However, the meaning of “liberal” varies somewhat depending on context and location.
In the United States, liberalism generally refers to:
- Support for civil liberties and individual rights
- Advocacy for social equality and justice
- Belief in government intervention to address social and economic inequalities
- Support for progressive taxation and social welfare programs
- Emphasis on regulatory oversight of business and industry
In the broader international and historical context, liberalism is associated with:
- Support for democratic systems of government
- Protection of civil liberties and human rights
- Free markets with some government regulation
- Separation of church and state
- Rule of law and legal equality
K. Not talking about liberals in theory. I’m speaking of the self-identifying liberals as they exist in the world today. An absolute menace.
“self-identifying liberals as they exist in the world today”
The world is a big place. Not sure if you mean “liberal” in the US context, “Liberal” as in the Canadian political party. “Neo-liberal” as in Economic position of Friedman economics, etc…
Leftist is also a relative term and isn’t very useful. You likely believe in important structural reforms surrounding minimum wage (perhaps UBI), environmental protection, universal affordable/accessible healthcare, strict banking regulation, drastic progressive taxation, harsh penalties for white collar crime, etc… But “left” of what, I doubt youre pushing for authoritarianism or communism?
My point is there are literally Nazis we are fighting right now. Maybe stop with the infighting as a result of ambiguous labels.
which they will immediately fail by trying to appeal to his cult that will never stop voting for him at the clear and undeniable cost of alienating their own voters. maybe a dick chaney endorsement!!
Look, there’s room for both sinking and floating here, we just need to give everyone a chance to try it out their own way!
Please don’t start with the pizzacake shit here, too 😭
Such a thin-skinned creator with weirdly obsessive fans. Everything about her online presence makes me uncomfortable.
I know nothing about pizzacake but this particular comic strip is good
It’s also just not good art. The style is extremely bland, and the humour just… Isn’t humorous.
Some people love the “Every panel is the punchline” kind of material. It’s very CTRL+ALT+DEL coded. Maybe give them another few years and we’ll get a new Loss out of it.
I said it elsewhere, but they all feel like they’ve been AI generated, but made by a real person. They’re wildly uninteresting to look at and painfully unfunny.
Yeah, that’s exactly the vibe I get.
Those weird little smiles she draws really freak me out.
gonna be honest, I’d rather have not known about the drama. Separate the art from the artist.

Weird to say that when the artist has made the art the key point in the drama. The ‘art’ kind of is the drama. Especially the debate on if roughly drawn comics that don’t have punch lines even are art. The way I feel about them is as if they’re AI slop, but done by a person. Most of them don’t even make sense, but get so much attention.
i still don’t care about the drama.
Good for you I guess

Oh look, here’s one now.
It managed to describe how Trump fans and tankies act towards progressives at the same time.

🎶 One of these things 🎵
🎵 Is not like the other 🎶
Why does those type of people have such a distinctive ugly face?
Pizzacake characters or right wingers?
I have some trauma because she rules /r/comics with an iron fistfull of mods protecting her from any criticism at all and got litigious about parody edits.
Just don’t go to reddit, the only time I see her is when you weirdos post the slop here
I don’t anymore, should’ve used past tense.
Oh well she has her fans too here it seems.
I downvote wherever I see her stuff lol
Same.
Yeah she was very pro-reddit during the API protests too.
Surprising considering she tried to sue them.
She might be a bit of a dramatic person
Wow fuck her
She’s usually fine and I’m not gonna say she’s not funny because humor is subjective, but she had some comics that came across misandrist and no critiscm or questioning of that was allowed.
So she’s the new SrGrafo?
C&D or actually filing suits?
Parody is explicitly excluded from copyright.
IIRC she threatened to sue bonehurtingjuice moderators, but idk the specifics. BHJ mods caved.
BHJ mods caved.
Lame
Idk, narcissistic assholes that try to get a raise out of everybody but are offended at everything themselves.
They always seem to have the same stupid caricaturable face.
I don’t understand the point of these paper-thin political comics. They don’t make me laugh and they don’t have a real message.
People aren’t sharing them because they find them funny, they do it to share their political views.
Without realising they’re preaching to the choir.
I don’t think a comic has to be funny per se. That’s why I also pointed out it has no substance. But yes preaching to the choir is a good way to describe what’s going on here as well.
Comics don’t have to be funny, they can be used to show a message/point of view. A great example I can think of is “Maus”.
And if you don’t like/get the message, that’s fine. To each their own.
Pizzacake definitely isn’t funny, nor are their political comics very sharp. Seems more like pandering their fanbase
Good thing this comic from 100 years ago is totally not true anymore right
can we not do this kind of low-effort slop on Lemmy too?
Ah Pizzacakes comics are always so fun and entertaining to read.
Edit: wording
Even more so, the mountains of salt from people who care way too much about a shitty webcomic.
Eh
Shouldn’t be too long before she finds out you can’t sue a lemmy community.
I’m so tired of living through this…
my favorite thing about PCC is all the muskrat alpha-boys parading around a penis envy fueled campfire while chanting prose from their culture of penis humiliation.
- she’s a bitch
- her art isn’t even good
- shits not funny
- she’s so annoying
- she’s a slut for tricking simps to her OF
the lines go on and on 🤣
I’ve got a bingo card going, so c’mon you beta cucks entertain me more with your penis envy.
Are you okay?
Damn you sure think about penis a lot
We live in an era where media with certain themes always seem to get an absurd amount of negativity, with plenty of dumbasses to blindly follow it without ever thinking to stopping and thinking about where a lot of it is coming from.

It is sad that so many in this country do not understand that millions of citizens absolutely, deliberately, and with a full understanding want to sink that boat. Those same people never ask why, they dismiss their concerns with “they are just too stupid to understand.”

So couldn’t get a date to the prom both years huh?

It’s probably for the best you don’t read any of the news from the last 2 months.
I’ll wager that I am more fundamentally aware of what’s happening in the world than you are.
Would you look at that, it works just as well!
I wish I could upvote more.
best response ever.
I think you mean degrade. 💋
Bless you
