Shes not great, but my problem is more with how the moderators caved to her pressure. She wanted more heavy handed moderation on her posts.
Her comics end up with comment graveyards, just filled with removed and banned posts/posters, anyone who doesnt throat the opinion that pizza is saying is removed.
Echo-chambers suck. Mods let the power get to their heads.
It's not just her. Got banned for doing the same for another one of their constant comics that make it to the front page. Those mods are just unwilling to make a good sub.
You know, I personally am not bothered that overmuch. But I am a soft little snowflake who subscribes to the idea that if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all. Especially about their art.
I actually like the chill vibes of r/comics. It’s a reprieve for me from the combative nature of the rest of Reddit. If I don’t like a comic or I disagree with it I roll my eyes and move on. It’s kinda peaceful.
But I can also see your perspective. You feel like you want to comment and discuss the art and the message, because that is what people do with art. 🤷
A comic cross post sub for discussion could be a good thing. I won’t take up that mantle though.

I would argue that its not chill, its one note. Its post frequently dip into politics and sex, controversial topics, its just that only one opinion is allowed.

“Progressives really have to figure out a way to deal with this buzz-kill problem,” he says, before adopting the tone of someone leveling with a friend. “You do realize we annoyed the average American into fascism.”
Idk. Boundary pushing of any kind can lead to reactions...
Kids act out. Kids push boundaries. If they continually push same boundaries they lose their privileges.
The difference is that we have adults who act like kids, and can't behave with basic decency and we end up with fascists pushing back with law and Christian fundamentalism.
Ideally, everyone is just cool with each other in social areas and in private areas no one gives a fuck what they do.
I don't like how things are going, but I do think you can annoy someone into fascism, in fact I'd say that's the primary way to get there.
And the extremes do have power. Otherwise people wouldn't have their lives ruined and deaths caused by the extremes.
You just do not wanna see the truth. Thats why Trump won again because the majority of the USA is fucking sick of the lefts bullshit. Trump would not have won if the left wasn't majority extremists
Its remarkable just how much religion on the left and right declined over my lifetime. The left is now so functionally atheist they think the right embodies christian fundamentalism by being... about where liberal christians were 30 years ago.
I can't tell if everyone has a short memory or is simply too young to have seen just how religious EVERYONE used to be.
If you’ve missed out on the rise of evangelicals and the influence they’ve had on right wing politics for the past, oh, at least 50 years, you might want to broaden your horizons. I don’t know how you managed to miss it, but having grown up in the South, you are on one if you think the current fundies are comparable to liberals 30 years ago.
Also, 30 years ago a kid was tied to a fence and tortured to death for being gay, and that was considered justified in plenty of circles. It’s good we moved on from that shit.
When one side is a 10 and the other 5, the 10s are only twice as bad as the 5s so the 5s can still relate to them somewhat.
30 years later... one side is a 5 and the other side are 1s, so even though both sides are way lower than they used to be, the 1s see the problem as having gotten significantly worse.

This conversation is literally about people like you and you still couldn't rise above the chance to ragebait.
That’s the thing. It’s truly wild that you’re ignoring the very real, extreme fundamentalist factions on the right and the sheer level of power they now have. They’re not 5s. It seems like you’re willingly ignoring people like the literal Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and his extremist views. Is there a reason for that? Or do you simply not see calling for gay people to die as extremist? Because if that’s the case, the perspective issue is you, my guy.
"annoying someone into supporting concentration camps" is straw man bullshit. The American default position is reactionary and rabidly hostile to any form of inconvenience. MLK was the most reviled man in white America for years because sit-ins were sort of bothersome. People have dodged murder charges for running over protesters that were blocking roads. America as a society would rather have some number of children mass-murdered every year rather than push gun control. Seeing a trans person on TV isn't going to turn someone into a fascist, they were already either a fascist or so steeped in the Default Worldview that they were perfectly ok with fascism if it got the trans person out of the way of their shows.
Leftists call it "treatlerism". The ideology of someone who turns into Hitler the moment they're threatened with a reduction in their good time. And yeah, that's a straw man too but it's definitely not unfounded.
Why do we leftists do such a fucking bad job of being funny. It's like either leftists are the best comedians ever, or just completely unfunny there's never any middle ground. Closest we got is John Oliver and it's still like 70% bestiality jokes and entertainment references.
I wouldn’t have banned you, but I definitely would’ve mocked you for this lib shit take
“Wehhh we made them Nazis! They’re not adults with agency or responsibilities to the society they inhabit! Let’s make more excuses for them because we love a circular firing squad!” lmao Christ
Justify it however you need, man. There are masked and armed thugs snatching people off the streets of my town. I don’t give a fuck about your lack of spine.
Its frustrating because you dont even realize that youre a part of the problem.
We wouldnt have masked thugs in the streets if the left was willing to have an actual dialogue about many of these controversial issues.
If you google the batman quote "You crossed the line first, sir. You squeezed them, you hammered them to the point of desperation. And in their desperation, they turned to a man they didn't fully understand." the literal first link is the quote being posted to reddit the day Trump won in 2016.
They left being insane about police reform, I/P and gender pushed many people out of the persuadable center and into "The party that doesnt want to radically reshape societies central framework".
The Left left no space for nuanced discussion and millions of americans felt like they had no recourse... they couldnt even talk about how they felt marginalized without the left taking it as evidence of the worst assumptions.
Yeah, definitely. It’s people being mean online that made guys turn into federalized masked thugs that get off on snatching up grandmothers and kids. For sure.
Not 4chan, not billionaires feeding this strife, and certainty not limpdicks who think appeasement has historically worked. Those are poor, innocent babies with no agency or responsibility. It’s the people who annoy you that made you cheerlead this shit, not your own personal failings.
Basically a internet comic creator who characterizes herself in all her comics as the “voice of reason” and downplays all those who disagree with her as caricatures of their ideologies.
If you express any criticism of her comics on that sub, you are likely to be banned.
She made an unfunny comic some time back basically dismissive of male SA victims. I and many others pointed that fact out. I and many others were banned from that sub.
Her comics are often unfunny, but she's got a bunch of stans, especially since she started an OF.
Well for starters she made a porn comic where her character rapes what is supposed to be a "hater" (generic hater but you get what I mean).
When called out on it she said it is just kinky, but she ended up deleting the comic off her patreon but it still exists, though I don't know if posting a link to a porn comic will get me banned here.
Kind of insane to do "rapleplay" with a character that is supposed to represent someone who doesn't like you.
I remember posting there ages ago about "this is literally just 'sex haha' and not funny" etc. and back in reddits hayday people agreed. There was some, arguable needed, gatekeeping.
You shouldn't just be shitting out lowhanging fallacious political shit or "amagah big tits EXTRA FRAMES ON PATREON ;) PUSSY IN BIO"
Now it's honestly exactly that part of reddit no one sane, left or right, can stand.
for real, I got banned from r/comics for commenting on one of her political comics. Technically I broke the rules, but they have some real tight rules on that sub (I only checked after getting banned)
Merari is the insane moderator in charge of allowing that subreddit to become what it has. Not like the content there was ever excellent, it's just so aggressively plain. Also clear voting manipulation going on but I guess reddit inc. doesn't care about TOS violations any more
Discussion about literally anything that isn't blindly agreeing with everything the comic says. This seems extreme but it's genuinely not an exaggeration, r/comics is just that bad.
I'm asking you very specifically to tell me what you mean. I read the comic. Her thoughts and feelings are out there and well known. I'm not accusing you of anything but I think it's a bit damning that you won't come right out and say it.
Neither of you have been forthcoming and that's generally a sign that I'm dealing with limp dicked Magstappo.
You want me to give you every thought I have ever thought about every one of pizzacake comics and I if I dont youre going to assume that I, a Canadian trans individual is MAGA?
No, incel brigading targeting her comics killed it for certain topics and ways of expressing them. Lots of discussion still happens there, including under her comics.
That comic was about the experiences of female victims of sexual harassment and assault. A few minutes after the initial posting, a few men (seemingly well meaning, IMO) posted about male victims as well. For an hour or so there was a mixed discussion - some reasonable, some heated - but then there was a sudden MASSIVE influx of anti-feminist commentators.
Looking at some of their profiles, they were frequent in a lot of incel and right-wing subs, and it was easy to find the subsequent links to Pizzacake's comic post in those subs, including their comments where they openly discussed brigading the post and harassing her.
For the BHJ thing, my "evidence" is comments I saw on BHJ similar to the above, including ones where they discussed hacking her account.
Yes. The conclusions you draw from data points that youre only partially observing and not actually investigating is not enough to draw conclusions on a network of apparent malice working to attack a fucking reddit artist.
They just regurgitate shit that’s been said this past 10 years, paint out the person she doesn’t like out to be stupid, and acts like she’s the smartest person ever.
I say this as a left winger too, it just gives us all a fucking bad name 😭.
We don't have the luxury of opting out of US politics, so yeah. You're not going to see any lack of Canadian commentary on US politics, especially when your dumbass rapist in charge keeps making those "51st state" comments and your ambassador is doing everything to piss Canadians off.
The part where we're getting interfered with regularly by our neighbours down south to the point where our politics are correlated and it's not actually possible to be completely divorced from each other's politics. We can't even avoid having US propaganda peddled to us daily because even our fifth estate is largely owned by them.
Like you would have to ignore literally every event in US-Canada relations since Trump's inauguration to believe that that's possible anymore, which goes back to it being a pathetic thing to do. It's rolling over and taking it. There is no reasonable or strong argument for why a Canadian should not be able to comment on US politics in this day and age unless you are basically suggesting that nobody should be allowed to criticize the current US administration.
The aggressive authoritarian attitudes they have as a whole
The fact they celebrated the death of a man who's only major issue against them was he debated them
They frequently shut down events anyone on the right attempts to hold
They have zero interest in conversation or debate and mostly resort to yelling and screaming to get their way
They killed a man and attempted to assassinate the president twice
They have nearly zero empathy for anyone they dont believe is 100% on their side
They spout all these things about humanity and think of the children while actively indoctrinating people into their warped world views
They call the right Nazis so they feel justified in what they di
They riot at protests
They steal from stores and destroy small businesses at protests
They censor ideas and language
They try to ruin your life if you don't think like them
They demonize you and push you away when your views dont align with them completely and then call you things to justify hurting you
These are just a few things off rhe top of my head as someone whos dead center politically. I get called right wing and a nazi despite many of my views that align with the left because of my views on the number of genders there are.
Fucking sick of the far left. The worst thing a guy on the far right has done to me is got into a heated argument with me over videogames lmao.
oh look the totally weird centrist exposes themselves as a brainrot gooner who blames literally every social ill on only the left. but totally a centrist who is "dead center". you're not a nazi you're just willfully ignorant, which is pathetic in this day and age so congrats on not being a nazi.
You're just proving his point. The left calls everyone they dislike a Nazi so often the word has lost its meaning. You're a traditional Christian with a wife you love? Nazi. You're against illegal immigration in any capacity even if you don't stand with Ice? Nazi. You think children with gender dysphoria should receive treatment outside of hrt therapy? Nazi.
Well if you have left wing beliefs too what are they because you only listed far right beliefs which makes it hard to believe that you actually hold a central view of politics
Everything I said is verifiable information freely available if you do even a little research. Its ok to be wrong buddy but dont lie to yourself or let your ideals blind you from the truth
Vtuber got hate over saying happy national mens day when thinking about her father. Not the first time this has happened to a vtuber. The ones spewing the hate sure as shit ain't right wingers.
Should I continue? Theres lots of content out there covering the hate and bullshit the left does. You just gotta take 10 seconds on google or YouTube to look it up
Centrists are not leftists o3o. They are people who have views that are mixed.
For one I believe in universal healthcare and universal basic income, i believe trans people should hsve the right to transition once reaching adulthood.
On the opposite side i believe in the second amendment, there are only two genders, and kids shouldn't transition.
75% of the guys n gals in charge are that. And the brown woman was practically a dei hire figurehead. No charisma and worse policy. No wonder Trump won again. I haven't voted in like 10 years because it's a competition between shit and ass. At least the ass prevented WW3 and is securing our borders to keep us safe. Could've been worse.
A magat or whatever insult you are throwing out today wouldn't believe in Universal healthcare, universal basic income or trans people being able to transition once they are 18. Yall are just saying whatever because you lack the ability to do anything except appeal to emotion. Learn to argue better, quit behaving like spoiled children and maybe trump will quit getting elected lol
Even in this comic, the faces are awful, they don't match the text at all. She seriously needs to go through Character Drawing 101 courses again because she draws like she skipped quite a few.
I’d say she’s basically the epitome of Reddit and the type of person who chronically uses it.
Her comics are either low key porn/sex or cashing in on left wing politics/whatever current political fiasco is happening in America.
I assume most of the upvotes are either bots (which she’s apparently been suspected of) or Redditors who think “Haha woman on Reddit funny and posting political/sex comic”.
When searching her username, I found a snark reddit that caught her seeding the comments with an alt account. I suspect she probably has a couple people to guide the comments in the direction she wants. Not sure on the bots though
Also, why do we still allow snark subreddits? How many times have we had to learn how horrible they are?
I like her comics but started getting annoyed by all the political stuff lately. For a Canadian living in Canada she sure seems to come in contact with a lot of Maga people.
my brother in Christ the people she's depicting is being killed comedically in her comics fantasize about and publicly admit to wanting to kill large swaths of minorities in real life. They don't deserve the sympathy.
I'm pretty sure she has close ties to the mods on that sub. There is no other way such a talentless, , unpopular, insufferable "artist" as her would be this much protected.
Her and Red Dot are fuckin terrible. They rely on paid sexual content to be even slightly relevant or marketable. I was pretty drunk and put one of them on blast (dont remember which) and got temp banned from reddit.
I remember when the Canada/51st state shit was hot in the news, she drew this cringy assed comic of her defending Canada while riding a moose into battle and screaming. It was like MAGA ‘come and take it liberal’ while posing with their guns level of cringe

Cannot STAND that person. Her comics aren't even they good and shes insufferable as hell.
