This comment thread is wild for a post that’s on top of my 6hr all feed.
hahaha, omg so funny. So clever
Good I fucking hate this comic
Just the worst low-tier unfunny shit and mouth breathing morons eat it up
“durr, I also think Nazis are bad”
I have a base, flat amount of respect for anyone who is willing to speak out and call nazis nazis. Right now there’s a literal dark money fountain available to people who want to defend Israel, for instance, and anyone who isn’t taking that and still willing to ragebait probably isn’t 100% terrible. And real talk hatesubs are not real. That’s some wild conspiracy stuff. If they are, then fuck it, get that bag. Flat respect who can get people to pay to say how much they hate your titties on a platform where you’ll be instantly squuelched and still take your money.
I’m just here promoting real, sane, criticism.
Ooooh, this thread will help me expand my misandry blocklist.
I don’t think the thin-skinned reactionary snowflakes who rage at her comics realize that they drive her engagement. Negative comments make content popular as much as positive ones. All she has to do is say “fascist bad” and the people she’s talking about clamor over themselves to let us know who they are. Can’t help it.
If they were silent, those of us who agree would say “Obviously? Not that funny.” and move on without blowing the post up.
Go ahead and add me to the list.
She makes shit comics with extremely safe, surface level takes on a topic, but I’m sure you’ll find a way to make that about gender.
You know that openly saying you want to be on a misandry list is a bad thing, right?
Even if you are trying to make an overly moralizing statement about overcorrection and overreaction, you’re still a giant asshole, you know that, right?
Edit just to make sure I cover the bases but what I’m trying to say is you would be way more well off not commenting, I just need you to know that was always an option.
There was someone else in this thread who was complaining there were almost a hundred comments in the thread, but they could only see about thirty. If that’s the type of user experience this person wants, let them have it.
I like how you missed the point entirely. Log off and call your Mom.
You know that openly saying you want to be on a misandry list is a bad thing, right?
They know, it’s an intentional troll judging by their comment history. It really is nice of them to explicitly let us know they are an easy block.
You know I want to say I earnestly want to give them the benefit of a doubt and that they need it pointed out that they’re just saying shit and not even realizing what they’re signing up for.
But also, like, I see a target I shoot at it. Maybe I’m not much better.
I think you need to double check what a misandrist is lol
What the fuck are you talking about?
Huh?
THIS THREAD WILL HELP THEM EXPAND THEIR MISANDRY BLACKLIST.
blocklist
Misandry is the made up thing ‘men’ like to complain about because they lack self confidence and / or self respect.
This post is marked as having 98 comments, but I can only see about 30. Is this normal?
Perhaps you have one of the top level commenters blocked, or maybe your instance blocks comments below a certain vote threshold. One thread has at least 50-60 comments in it and the top comment in the chain sits at -41 currently from what I see.
, or maybe your instance blocks comments below a certain vote threshold.
Oh, I believe that’s the case, and probably a very good thing. Thanks for explaining
For piefed.social yeah.
There’s at least one utter jackass spamming in comments here. Maybe you have them blocked.
Recently I blocked like ten troll accounts and it has been hiding about 1/3 of the comments from me, leaving only the fairly nice ones. It does tell me the comments exist, though, so that might not be what you are seeing.
How to find a nazi:
-
write “nazi sux”.
-
wait for them to be offended.
-
yay, You found a nazi fuck. Now [redacted], until there wont be any left.
polishes her metal bat
nazis suck.
Aluminum is nice. It definitely has a good twang to it. Personally I like the crack of a solid wooden bat myself. There’s just nothing quite like it.
~*hums take me out to the ballpark*~
Mrs. Negan its time
I love to [redacted] nazis. It’s one of my favorite passtimes.
[redacted] them from orbit, only way to be sure.

Reminds me of the crossed-out swastika graffiti, somewhere in America, that was deemed to be against the current government.
ITT some people are really offended by free content…
And it’s not even that bad/offensive of a content. It is really fascinating.“Not a nazi btw, just hate your face”
Suuuure, buddy
you can do both, I don’t like this artist because they lazy but and I don’t like nazis for obvious reason. you can do both and not be beholden to others self righteous nonsense.
Is it more likely that a person is a Nazi, or that you’re conventionally unattractive? 🤔
There are a lot of Nazis, but there are way WAY more ugly people before you get too smarmy about it.
I’m sure many people will think you are stunning and brave though and you should hang out with them instead, but the fact remains.
Edit:
Oh no! Some people are stupid, some people are ugly, and some people are Nazis. And on Lemmy you’re way more likely to find the first two, that’s just how it is. Shine up your personality and practice your multiplication tables.
Edit 2:
I didn’t actually open and read the comic and sub comic of this comic until now, but the fact remains: ugly people exist and for some reason I can’t escape the blandness of pizzacake..Actually I’d rather just leave it; still true.
The thing is, people don’t blow up on other people for being ugly. People do blow up on other people for calling out their unacceptable behavior, though. This person’s looks aren’t what they’re upset about, it’s just a socially acceptable reason they can use to vent their frustration about being called out for something else.
That could well be. I find this comic style annoying and I tried to block it but it is inescapable. I’m not trying to scrutinize it because then I have to look at it.
You could just log off
You’re a fucking moron
So, wait, your theory is that ugly people are catching strays meant for Nazis?
way WAY more ugly people
This is objectively false because beauty/ugly is not a linear scale.
If it were a linear scale then 50% of people would be ugly and 50% would be beautiful. If it’s a scale with two axes, then 25% would be ugly, and 75% would be beautiful to somebody.
And beauty has way more than two scales. Some can be funny and be attractive, they can be pretty and be attractive, they could be caring and be attractive. The list goes on and on.
And what ends up being the case is that the vast majority of people are beautiful, to someone. Except for the dumb fucks that think that others are ugly. They’re beautiful to nobody.
Wow. Deep.
Next tell me if stupid is a linear scale or not.
It’s actually not. People who are brilliant in one topic could be easily stupid in another. Picasso couldn’t do calculus. Fish can’t climb trees.
It’s very rare to find an actual stupid person. Uneducated, sure. Ignorant, you betcha. But to be actually stupid across the board, you either need to have a real genetic deficiency, or be stubborn in your ignorance.
And I found that people who think others are stupid very often do so because they are ignorant themselves about the multiple types of intelligence.
Some people are stupid, some people are ugly, and some people are Nazis. And on Lemmy you’re way more likely to find the first two, that’s just how it is.
I have my suspicions that you might be 2/3 of these things…
You can think whatever you want, internet rando, so long as you aren’t deluded about it. Though delusion seems to be a fairly common position.
Edit: Actually you’re welcome to be deluded too. But it by no means makes you right or your opinion any more valuable 🤷. I suspect you’re at least one.
Found the person confirming OC.
I will never understand why these profoundly mediocre comics get so much support.
Garfield took bigger risks than she does.
I don’t like Garfield comics.
What I don’t do, is comment on every Garfield comic that I see posted to whine that I don’t like Garfield. I don’t even feel a hint of desire to do that.
This is why people who see all the anti-Pizzacake comments on every one of her comics know that it’s not really about the comics. It’s people who are angry at seeing popular comic lady who self-inserts in many of her comics again and need to share that anger. It’s just kinda pathetic.
I’ll take a stab at explaining myself. I like them OK. I’ve never followed her or been inclined to reshare her work on social media, but I would describe crossing her work as “generally enjoyable”. I think a lot of her work, like the example here, is more of a slice-of-life anecdote about an experience she had, rendered in the medium of the comic strip. It doesn’t strike me as a joke, more like “Hey world, here’s a thing that happened and my brief reaction to it”. And I like it because I recognize the pattern and I feel sympathy for her. Nazis… overreact to things. Being extreme is kinda their signature move, and they seem to feel an obligation to be as unpleasant as possible to anyone being critical of them.
But, they almost always find other excuses to be shitty than “You criticize nazis and it hurts my feelings / makes me feel threatened, because I’m a nazi”. They find the easiest excuse they can to bother you with, except the actual reason they’re interacting in the first place. If they are harassing a woman, they have a standard variety pack of insults they can pull from. You’re a whore, you’re ugly, you’re shrill or some variant thereof, you’re pretending to be a lesbian because no man wants you, etc. I think the strategy is quantity over quality because nazi hatespam is remarkably consistent both in its volume and its unoriginality. It really does happen, and it is hurtful in a kind of “I can’t believe humans waste their short lives being this uncreatively shitty” sorta way as well as just being generally mentally taxing, and it’s nice to be able to commiserate over it. It’s not exactly “ha ha” funny, but it is relatable in a way I appreciate in art.
This one is structured rather like joke, in that the last panel could be interpreted as a punchline to the previous setup, but I didn’t read it that way and I don’t think the idea of reading it that way would have occurred to me if I weren’t analyzing it now. I can see how the last panel could be interpreted as an unfunny joke if that is what was being looked for. That’s my hypothesis about why this comic is being received poorly by some, but not all, of the people in this thread. Let me know if I’m right 🙂 or wrong lol.
Is yours better?
Found the nazi
No, I hate Nazis and Fascists and I agree.
I like the message, but the comic isn’t funny. She’s a talented artist, however. I give her that.
Yes, everyone who disagrees with you is a nazi.
My wife is a nazi? I knew it!
I’m sorry you had to find out this way.
And I was wondering why the shower is suddenly hermetically sealed.
You better buy a gas mask and tell her it’s just some kinky stuff you wanted to try.
Found the conventionally ugly and entitled person? Congrats.
What does this even mean?
Read it again. It means everyone who disagrees with you or doesn’t like your look isn’t a Nazi, you can also be wrong and bad looking with probably equal or better probability. Especially if Lemmy is your barometer.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say there’s some weird projection happening here because there is no way whatsoever that has anything to do with unattractive entitled people. Words mean things, and you need to review what it is you’re trying to cpmmunicate here.
Cope
I was too afraid to ask, because I also have a hard time at understanding
Personally I think at the beginning thely were cute, funny, and at bare minimum I give bonus points to anyone starting out trying to do something rather than listen to di guses who think that there’s a hard baseline for content.
But I do think she became some sort of Reddit beast that got stuck in a flattery eddie off to the side of the R/ALL tributary and stopped getting meaningful criticism and it hurt a lot of her output and growth.
And yet she still has more talent and entertainment value then a bunch of slackjawed comment troglydites with the most incredibly iroic sense of mediocre.
Eh, she was there before the big reddit change over, and true she seemed like she could roll with the punches but that ended pretty fast. If you’re at all curious to look it up, it seems some of the artists in r/comics are getting a little tired of her, and are hesitantly more vocal about it.
I mean I’m not disagreeing. If anything I hate Reddit more for being a crushing echo chamber that takes people who might have a good thing going and turning them into steralized, nonfunctional content monsters.
I do think it’s a time will tell kind of thing. Even SrGrapho just sort of fell into a hole where he was doing OC nudes and has yet to make a decent meme format in a decade.
Pizzacake could be better but I don’t mind that she’s taking on nazi’s and right wing weirdos who can’t help but lose their shit over titties and even the gentlest of criticisms. And refer to the first paragraph but there isn’t a single reddit community I would take the word of at face value.
I get it. I don’t know if I necessarily agree with your take on her work though. I don’t think she’s taking on Nazis or the right… These particular comics can be read simply as is, but also as anyone who dares criticize her. In that case, you’re not just an asshole but an actual goose stepping, swastika waving Nazi. Even those who would agree with her, who are on her side politically.
I really suspect this is all a strategy, and it probably shows some success, to drive traffic to her only fans and adult tier patreon who’ll hate subscribe. I think that’s how she’s really making her money. The comics don’t pay squat, as we all know.
She needs to pick a dayof the week to hate to even dream of being on Garfield’s level.
What does the OF mean in this context?
Onlyfans, the artist is active there
Wait, so is this comic just a sneaky ad?
Always is 😉
This may be a dumb question, but is their content related to their comics, or are they a normal OF model who does comics on the side?
She started out with the comic (regular on reddit), added kinky ideas to her protagonist (depicting herself), posted the occasional selfie, felt encouraged by results and decided to show some more on OF. At least that’s the timeline I observed. She’s a good gal, nothing wrong with bashing hypocrites and also being kinky and earning extra money :)
Both actually AFAIK. They offer NSFW bonus panels and regular nude content of themselves
From what I heard, she doesn’t have any nude content or a verified OF. Unless that has changed, I guess. It doesn’t seem on-brand for her to even go toward lewd comics.
OnlyFans, maybe? (I have no idea if PizzaCake has an OnlyFans.)
They do.
'orrible female?
I really have no idea. There are too many initialisms and they change all the time.
Dude, do you even UGFHKMGJKL?
Likely the obvious, “OnlyFans”, 'cause they’ll toss that shit out as an insult
and then they log in
The comic author is also actually active on OnlyFans
Oh, right. I’d never have thought of that one.
I assumed “OnlyFans”
How do I block pizzacakecomic content here?
You can block any kind of content you want by blocking the people who post it.
Why would I want to ban them just because they posted something I don’t like. That person isn’t the artist.
Block, not ban, but that sounds like exactly what you’re looking for. If seeing these comics is that big a deal to you, you can block everyone who posts them and eventually you’ll almost never see them. The only alternative I can think of is just putting up with seeing things you don’t like, which is what I do and it seems to work pretty well. Occasionally I even start to like things I didn’t like before. But based on the conversation downthread that doesn’t seem like a viable path for you so I thought I’d offer an alternative.
There’s a keyboard shortcut for it: Alt + F4
Cute
Some people post her comics with her name in the title. You can block keywords, so I’d at least add her name to that. It’s not perfect, some posts like this one would slip through
I just chose to hide it.
It’s super easy to just not click on them.
Ridiculously easy. Pathetically easy even.
It’s exponentially easier not to comment on them for that matter.
I don’t understand what you mean. I don’t have to click on anything to have it show up in my feed, and because I’m not subscribed to too many things here, just comics and a few other places, this hits my “feed” and stays there. I don’t have to click anything.
If you hadn’t clicked on it we wouldn’t be talking. So next time I suggest you follow your own advice and not click on things you don’t want to engage in.
Ok but like, they were asking how to block it. They want to not engage. Can you not understand that
You don’t engage by scrolling past. Again pathetically easy to do.
This is a stupid argument.
I agree, it’s very stupid to think the world needs to cater to you and your tastes. It’s very stupid to bitch about other people liking things that you don’t and not just moving on with your life.
Yeah i clicked this and it was a jumpscare, no pizzacake warning
That wasn’t the point of conversation. Please work on your reading comprehension.
How was i supposed to know it was a pizzacake comic before i clicked on it
Some apps have the ability to hide posts. That’s been a lifesaver for me when I see content I don’t like on subs I enjoy.
Not sure if boost has that. Still trying to get my legs here.
No idea. I use Mlem for iOS, which does have it. But it’s something to consider. Otherwise, I would suggest just grumbling under your breath and scrolling past (I do that too sometimes). 🤷♂️
As I said, I don’t have the same algorithmic scroll that reddit has. It simply doesn’t work that way. If nothing else is coming up, I just get the last post… which for an hour happened to be this crappy comic.
You’re missing my point. Coming into the comments to complain about a perfectly legit comic, regardless of your feelings for a poster or the posted, does nobody any good. You can:
- Block the poster,
- Block the community,
- Hide it (if you use an app that supports it),
- Filter out specific keywords (assuming the poster is thoughtful enough to provide them),
- Downvote and move on, or
- Do nothing and live with it.
I was hoping to avoid the list, but here we are. 😊
Calling out bullshit is worth the effort because i actually like this place and i hate to watch it enshitify
Also, that’s not what “enshittification” is.
Me too so I’m calling out your bullshit in order to keep this place nice.
Agreed. And Mimi too.
I block pizza and cake and pizzacake but some fuckers can’t be bothered to tag I guess @not_IO@lemmy.blahaj.zone
Yeah I can’t stand it either, her comics are super annoying and she’s not a good person either
Why? What did she actually do?
She’s popular
Popular, fragile and incredibly vindictive.
Listen, I get it. I kicked the wasp’s nest of fans. That doesn’t take away from the fact that she’s about as Narcissistic as Trump, and almost half as vengeance seeking.
Maybe just stop paying so much attention to her. I read her comics and that’s about it. I don’t need to know her personal business and you should know that anyone who makes it to a certain place in the Internet popularity contest is going to have baggage. Nobody is a saint. And even saints have blood on their hands (usually). Not everyone is a Francis.
I would gladly not look at any of her comics again, which is why I asked the original question. Tag her comics, tell me how I filter for that tag. Presto! Instant ignore.
However, I know plenty of the drama from r/comics and can tell anyone who asks. Sue me.
She’s not just reddit boosts her posts to the frontpage, she probably is paid by reddit
We all know who she is and I enjoy her comics. So I think you’re just jaded.
Edit: As of this reply it’s 75+ 5-
So I rest my case
Yeah hasan piker is getting upvoted lately too, what’s your point? A lot of people on lemmy are not the brightest
Imagine comparing Pizzacake to someone who treats their own supporters like shit. This take is squeakier than clown shoes.
Nobody is making you participate in the c/comic strips. If you don’t like it just downvote it, block the people who posted it and move on. All you are doing is being a troll
Be female
Some good videos on youtube about her crashouts and overall hypocrisy if you really wanna waste time and get into it
She’s like the definitive example of why reddit sucks
You’ve got nothing
Surely if it’s that bad at least one of the reasons is simple enough to list in a sentence or two here.
there may very well be “some good videos” but what comes up in a search is a shitton of seemingly bad-faith ones, using caricatures and unattributed quotes in the thumbnails.
also, why are you talking about reddit?
Ngl I did not expect her to be this kind of a problematic person and I enjoyed her comics in the past.
Just watched this here: https://youtu.be/RqiuOJhNlCA
That vid is from a right wing nationalist. You’ve been had.
That channel has a book review for Man in the High Castle with a thumbnail captioned “The Good Timeline”. Yeah it seems problematic.
Not sure about the nationalist part, but yes, he is right-wing/conservative. I didn’t want to suggest that I believe what they are saying about pizzacake, as I didn’t like the tone and personal attacks. Like, since when does the looks have to do something with what they do online?
I am just surprised that there are videos online about criticizing pizzacake. She seems to piss off certain user groups very much.
certain user groups
(fascists)
Nothing on the surface other than these low effort rage-bait comics that get crazy amounts of reddit karma and absolutely game the system. It’s still undetermined exactly how. My personal belief is that people just like crap like this that they can use as a weapon against people on other social media platforms, but the algorithm loves her apparently. The comics are particularly baity though when she’s getting low on enthusiasm or maybe engagement. That’s when her and the mods of her personal comics subreddit r/comics really have their fun, permanently banning anyone who even hints at criticism of any kind. If not there, then anywhere on reddit. This has gotten particularly worse the last couple of years.
Yes, she has an XXX onlyfans. My guess is more than half the guys who she’d call Nazis like subscribe. That’s really where she makes her money.
why are you talking about reddit?
Because this is reposted from reddit. She’s a reddit comic artist.
What? She is. That’s her stomping grounds.
Many people think she is even a reddit employee
Not exactly the most compelling conspiracy theory I’ve ever heard…
She isn’t. Neither are the mods. They’re just internet losers. I honestly think her stuff is just favorable to the algorithm and she’s gathered a robust, absolutely devout and aggressive fan base. She’s their darling, and they don’t want to lose her.
That’s when her and the mods of her personal comics subreddit r/comics really have their fun, permanently banning anyone who even hints at criticism of any kind
I was once permabanned from there due to a meta thread discussing pizzacake related mass bans, where literally all I said in my comment was to point out the existence of a tool to see what comments have been removed and evaluate for yourself what is happening. Had previously blocked pizzacake in an effort to avoid all the drama in the comments under her comics but it wasn’t enough. Fortunately I am now banned from reddit entirely and no longer have to worry about these things, at least lemmy has modlogs.
and absolutely game the system.
It’s still undetermined exactly how.
Well, I’m convinced. That’s absolutely conclusive. It just doesn’t make sense! I mean, it’s not like there’s any kind of immediately available evidence that your opinion of her isn’t anywhere close to the majority opinion or anything…
I did say that I suspect people just like her rage bait comics. That’s most likely the answer. Which makes sense because all you guys really want out of comics is something to bash the other side over the head with. But, I reserve a little space for skepticism. I’m allowed to do that, right?
Goddamn you’re dumb
I mean you probably can’t unless credit is given in the post body.
Okay, another asshole on the internet has been an asshole.
No, but now asshole means Nazi. Keep up, man.
Bruh you started off 2 hours ago complaining about not being able to block some harmless lameass internet comic and you’re still here 2 hours later arguing and playing victim.
Just go the fuck outside dude lol
They have dozens of comments in the same thread and they are acting like they couldn’t care less, lol.
Stop laughing. You made a good point.
But it’s scary outside; you might see people of colour. 💀
I’m not playing victim, I just wanted to know how to block her crappy comics. You can look at them. I don’t care what you do. And I was outside. There’s these things called smart phones. It’s like a big computer, but goes in your pocket.
You know, nevermind. I don’t want to frustrate you further.
I am positively delighted that you typed it out and thought it was a scathing retort.
If hearing criticism of Nazis makes you act like an asshole, you might be an asshole and a Nazi.
Or you’re just an asshole, which where I’m from isn’t illegal. Or, maybe you see the actual subtext of this comic and know what it’s actually trying to do and find it particularly annoying.
Yes, we all hate Nazis. I also don’t know any. I know a whole lot of mouthy, opinionated assholes though.
I also don’t know any.
Fucking lucky for you, I guess. For those of us who do have to deal with Nazi assholes, though…
Pray tell, where are you dealing with Nazis?
Edit: guys. None of you are actually dealing with Nazis. I’m sorry, but you just aren’t.
This niche little place called “outside”.
So… no is the answer. Right wing people, maybe even centrists. Just people you generally dislike. Do you actually associate with them, or is it just perceived?
So much of our political malaise boils down to thinly vieled daddy issues.
