Man, I wish Pizzacake would join Lemmy.

[-] Xyre@lemmus.org 113 points 1 year ago

Seriously. Her and Hollering Elk were some mainstays on the old place.

[-] Neato@ttrpg.network 64 points 1 year ago

Yep. I'm a patron of Elk and it's always disheartening to see them ask everyone to boost it on reddit. I understand it's their best platform, but it'd be nice for other platforms to also be utilized. I mostly just don't see Pizzacake anymore unless I open instagram.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 year ago

Did you send a patreon message asking about it? Might mean more coming from a dedicated fan.

[-] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 year ago

Oh man, Hollering Elk, that's another I sorely miss. She's fucking epic.

[-] RedStrider@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

I def wish more artists(like Pizzacake) would join. I check r/comics often on Libreddit and its nice to see them interact and a good way to find new underrated creators.

[-] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 21 points 1 year ago

Why? That's her comic right there? What does that achieve other than bringing her 'other' business here?

[-] Maven@lemmy.world 106 points 1 year ago

In general having more original creators here posting their own work consistently is a good thing if we want to grow the platform.

Showing that it can be good to post here for creators will make more creators want to post here leading to an overall improvement in this community.

If she joined Lemmy then I could block her account and I wouldn't have to see her comics (as I did on Reddit). As it stands I don't really want to block OPs account since they post and comment lots of different stuff. It's nice to be able to block a specific creator from their own account rather than play whack-a-mole with freebooters.

And before people start saying I'm misogynist or something, I'm not. There are plenty of women webcomic artists I like. Extraordinary Comics and War and Peas just to name a couple. I just find pizzacake to be incredibly boring, low hanging fruit and barely even funny at all. Not trying to hurt feelings, I just don't like her stuff and prefer to block it from my feed.

[-] JCreazy@midwest.social 25 points 1 year ago

I'm right there with you. Actually winced when I saw the name pizzacake just now. Pure garbage.

Upvote because you're just sharing an opinion and it isn't wrong.

I like pizza cake, there are plenty of comics I don't like, why does anyone care who you don't like when all you're asking for is better curation tools.

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 year ago

Yeah IDGAF if people like her comics. I just want to be able to block having to see them with a single click that doesn't also block an entire user who I might not mind seeing in other contexts.

She didn't post it. This is the first Pizzacake comic I've seen on here since I joined. Were she here I'd follow her and get everything.

Curse seasonal colour analysis and all of its surprising accuracy! I don't want to be a bright spring, I want to be goth!

You live your best life in that blue dress kid and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[-] frickineh@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Maybe you can be a navy blue goth? It could work!

Great these terrible comics have made their way here, too

[-] wintermutehal@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago

I would pay at least a bit to never have to see these again. I’m not even some crazy hater, I just find them super low effort and the loyalty they have to be very very strange.

[-] poppy@lemm.ee 24 points 1 year ago

Same. I’ll admit a few overall have made me nose laugh but most are just “yep, that’s a joke/statement I see online 20 times a week put to picture”. It’s not that I inherently dislike them, but they’re not my cup of tea and I preferred when I could just not see them.

[-] wintermutehal@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

I wouldn’t be near as weirded out if they didn’t get the attention they do! They seem to have rabid fans and of…this? I just don’t get it. Hell, maybe I‘m the crazy one. At this point, I’m willing to entertain this thought

I blocked pizzacake on Reddit because the comics are terrible and now I have to look at them here.

[-] force@lemmy.world 43 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I feel like if you're on a comic strip community you should expect to see various comic strips even from artists you don't like, no? Just block the community or filter the word from titles

[-] RedStrider@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

I guess I'm fine with pizzacake's awful zero-punchline comics being here on Lemmy, I just hope her stupid cult doesn't follow and this community doesn't turn into some pizzacake safe fan space where you literally aren't allowed to say anything that isn't directly kissing her ass, like /r/comics.

[-] Vincent@feddit.nl 25 points 1 year ago

It would get boring if we get comments like this (i.e. that say nothing about the particular comic posted) underneath every comic though :/

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago

I'm talking about the creator, relevant, and specifically referring to this particular comic (as well as their others) as awful and without a punchline, so that doesn't feel like nothing about the topic to me.

Negativity is a valid opinion and negativity isn't the same as incivility (and thus shouldn't be prohibited)

Mum is right about the colour, but we need more long dresses in the world, we really do.

[-] ColdWater@lemmy.ca 23 points 1 year ago

Uhhh what is going on in the comments? Who is Pizzacakecomic? And why almost everyone here hate them?

[-] Maven@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

Pizzacake is a popular comic artist over on Reddit. She gained popularity mostly because she is extremely active in the comments of all of her posts. She is constantly chatting and attempting to make friends.

As for why she is disliked, there's a few reasons.

The one she sites the most is sexism though there isn't actually a lot of evidence of this outside of her own testimony.

Another is that she won't stop talking about how people who don't like her are sexist. She's made multiple comics about how her critics don't read her comics and just dislike them due to woman.

Her jokes also tend to be the easiest possible punchline for every joke. this has a kinda weird double effect because it means that her comics are extremely applicable to most people because they are generic enough that you can fit most of them into most situations. On the flip side, if you don't like one the comics... You probably won't like any of them... They're all similar enough to be mostly indistinguishable other than the topic itself. along that same train of thought, if you like one... You'll probably like them all.

As for my own opinion, I don't really care one way or the other. She's fine. I've heard accusations of her paying for likes on Reddit for promoting her own comics and so on but honestly I haven't seen any proof myself so I can't confirm or deny any of those.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

The one she sites the most is sexism though there isn’t actually a lot of evidence of this outside of her own testimony.

Sexism is so rampant on Reddit that saying "I'm a woman" and getting bombarded by creeps and freaks is trivial. Less a commentary on her, specifically, and more on the degenerate nature of the community.

She’s made multiple comics about how her critics don’t read her comics and just dislike them due to woman.

She's producing liberal political comics, and she's a woman, so the chuds will be out in full force screaming at her.

At a certain point, though, its just...

She’s fine.

She's very clearly low effort. The art is flat, the comedy is mid, the political edginess is ten years out of date.

I wonder if Netflix will be signing her any time soon.

I don't know anything about this Pizzacake person, but I don't think this specific comic is any worse than the average newspaper gag strip, except they wouldn't tackle a subject like this. It didn't make me laugh, but I also wouldn't call it awful. I'd definitely read this over literally any Dilbert strip ever.

I think it means the natural colors of your body (skin, hair, eyes) are best complemented by "dark autumn" colors, so dark reds/oranges.
