It's not even satire at this point

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.

gonna be honest, I'd rather have not known about the drama. Separate the art from the artist.

[–] iheartneopets@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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 know nothing about pizzacake but this particular comic strip is good

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago (3 children)

It's also just not good art. The style is extremely bland, and the humour just... Isn't humorous.

[–] iheartneopets@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah, that's exactly the vibe I get.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

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.

Why does those type of people have such a distinctive ugly face?

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago (17 children)

Pizzacake characters or right wingers?

[–] RedIce25@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

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.

Shouldn’t be too long before she finds out you can’t sue a lemmy community.

Wow a reasonable and well spoken reddit mod? They must be new....

[–] Gibibit@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I don't understand the point of these paper-thin political comics. They don't make me laugh and they don't have a real message.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

People aren't sharing them because they find them funny, they do it to share their political views.

Without realising they're preaching to the choir.

[–] Gibibit@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I don't think a comic has to be funny per se. That's why I also pointed out it has no substance. But yes preaching to the choir is a good way to describe what's going on here as well.

Ah Pizzacakes comics are always so fun and entertaining to read.

Edit: wording

[–] satans_methpipe@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Watching the artist have a meltdown on reddit over snark edits was more fun.

Popcorn tastes good

It managed to describe how Trump fans and tankies act towards progressives at the same time.
