    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.
