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.
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!
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!!
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.
“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.
deleted by creator
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.
It’s not even satire at this point
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.
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
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.
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?
Pizzacake comics are bad, but I’m not aware of the author drawing sexualized images of children like the reddit and Lemmy user SrGrafo does.
Holy shit I had no idea they did that. I was just referring her to how he also is in the “strangely gets to r/all daily” club
Wait is that who CHLOE was??
What the FUUUUC-
deleted by creator
Yeah it was pretty upsetting to see their presence here on Lemmy. SrGrafo, the user who draws sexualized images of children, is the very first user I blocked on lemmy.

Got more info about that?
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.

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.
There is so much lore
Wow a reasonable and well spoken reddit mod? They must be new…
What is weaponized callout?
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.
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
I know nothing about pizzacake but this particular comic strip is good
Removed by mod
Oh look, here’s one now.
Shouldn’t be too long before she finds out you can’t sue a lemmy community.
Ah Pizzacakes comics are always so fun and entertaining to read.
Edit: wording
Watching the artist have a meltdown on reddit over snark edits was more fun.
Popcorn tastes good
you know, its flippant posts like this that remind me how easy it is to dismiss posters as people.
Eh
Even more so, the mountains of salt from people who care way too much about a shitty webcomic.

In the States you just look outside for this one.
Disable echolocation and reenable visuals.
Intrusive thoughts while I was writing my post. I was talking. Thanks for telling me. :)
I’m so tired of living through this…
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.
can we not do this kind of low-effort slop on Lemmy too?
Do you have someone nearby that you can talk to?

Do I know you?
I don’t think so.
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 🎶
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.”
On the end of the ship that’s rising while the other end goes down.
