Dress by Pizzacakecomic
(lemmy.world)
Man, I wish Pizzacake would join Lemmy.
Seriously. Her and Hollering Elk were some mainstays on the old place.
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.
Did you send a patreon message asking about it? Might mean more coming from a dedicated fan.
Oh man, Hollering Elk, that's another I sorely miss. She's fucking epic.
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.

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.
Mum is right about the colour, but we need more long dresses in the world, we really do.
Uhhh what is going on in the comments? Who is Pizzacakecomic? And why almost everyone here hate them?
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.
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.

What's dark autumn anyway
I think it means the natural colors of your body (skin, hair, eyes) are best complemented by "dark autumn" colors, so dark reds/oranges.
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.
It would get boring if we get comments like this (i.e. that say nothing about the particular comic posted) underneath every comic though :/
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)

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.

🍿 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.

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)
