Rules
-
😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
🏘️ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
🧬 Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
📋 Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
📬 Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
-
🏴☠️ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
-
🍿 Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

MODERATORS
All I know is she posts lewds to her Patreon and has lots of simps
I fail to understand why posting a pair of tits is such a controversial thing to do. Maybe I'm too European to lose my marbles over some nipples.
Pizzacake makes a lot of feminist leaning comics which heavily criticize the patriarchy, male objectification of women and "creepy" men who comment sexual things towards women.
In light of that, a lot of people find it hypocritical that she'd sell pictures of herself online for dudes to jerk off to when that's the exact opposite audience her comics tries to appeal to.
When the leak first happened, she presented the narrative as though her consent was violated and she was being sexually harassed by having private nudes released. When people found out that she was selling the photos publicy for money, suddenly it became aparent we werent talking about sexual abuse we were talking about piracy. It got a lot of people irritated for having been mislead, and then they started asking why the photos were there in the first place.
If she knows that she is the target of harassment campaigns, a lot of people are confused as to why she would post her nudes in a public space and not expect them to leak.
Given the fact she is a public figure who regularly makes comics out of her children, regularly gets doxxed and is targetted by hate, you would expect her to be a bit smarter about what she puts online. She's been online for years but seeks to lack basic understanding of cause and effect online (or else she understands it all too well and plays the victim perfectly to promote herself by baiting outrage incredibly effectively).
The part of it that bothers me personally is that there are kids involved and there is a 100% chance that all the kids at her son's school know and have looked up these nudes and her son probably gets bullied about it.
She has children so she has to be a paragon of virtue?
What?
I never used this term sorry, I'm not sure what you’re reading.
Yes, everyone should practice OPSEC, but a public "celebrity" who's sole business is online doubly so.
A parent should simply include their kids in the calculus.
She doesn't practice OPSEC because she has an OF that exists? I am not nearly as aware of her OF as the people that don't like her, so you'll have to let me know if there's something different she should be doing with it.
I must be really out of the loop. What is her business that results in her having enemy intelligence? Is it being on OF that gets you enemy intelligence, or making comics?
If she didn't want her nudes to be publicly accessibly, uploading them publicly on social media could be considered bad OPSEC.
Oh, I guess you are, sorry. Like I was saying in my last comment, there's a lot of "lore".
Her primary business is through her comics. She actually turned making a business into a comic itself.

I'll quote the enemy intelligence part from an r/outoftheloop thread. You can read the whole thing if you're interested about the events of her most recent hack/doxxing about a week ago.

From a recent comment, she has only now set up 2FA.
https://www.reddit.com/user/Pizzacakecomic/comments/1kipftd/comment/mrgpabo/
I really hate how much talking about internet security comes across as victim blaming but not having 2FA set up as a public celebrity who is constantly being attacked is once again bad OPSEC.
Sure. But that sounds like her problem, not a reason for me to dislike her.
This sounds a lot like "there are duchbags attacking her because they are misogynists" which again, is not a good reason for other people to dislike her.
You don't seem to realize she is the victim of horrific hate campaigns, having her personal information including address and kids school doxxed, her account through which she makes her income hacked and deleted, she's been stalked, threatened and harassed, etc.
I'm over here trying to talk about internet security.
If you're just looking for reasons to dislike her then go circlejerk somewhere else
I'm not, but if we look back to the top of this comment chain, we see someone complaining that the comments won't be about the comic but instead about how shitty a person the artist is for some reason.
We get a reply to that about how she has an OF, and then the comment you replied to:
So one could be forgiven for assuming your response to that was part of the conversation about why it's so controversial and the artist being a shitty person.
If you are in fact over here just "trying to talk about Internet security" then it sounds like you've taken a bizarre tangent from the topic at hand in order to circle jerk about your topic of choice.
Yes, in my original comment I was explaining why her posting a pair of tits was "controversial" to her audience.
Then you started asking me a bunch of questions about her OPSEC.
I have spent multiple comments stating no that's not what I'm saying and correcting you.
It can not be forgiven at this point if you still insist on your misunderstanding so I'm going to disengage.
This was the actual problem remember. You didn't know she had attacks from hackers, you didn't know about her business or any of the story.
You're welcome for looping you in but dear God why have you reset back 10 comments already and acting like you forgot what we literally just went over.
Good luck with whatever the hell you're doing.
Like the green knight, for example.
