    I should clarify, I’m not claiming that everyone who is criticizing pizzacake is a misogynist. I am however saying that it is popular among misogynists to bully women artists and call it “criticism”, thus, the presence of certain kinds of criticism indicates an increased likelihood that the “critic” is actually a misogynist, even if the criticisms at face value are legitimate.

    I shouldn’t need to have a law degree to write a comment in a comics forum.


  • The parallels are stark indeed. Divorced of context, it’s perfectly reasonable to accept the argument that Rey is a poorly written character (because she is). Normal, well adjusted people were able to accept that the sequel trilogy sucks for numerous reasons, Rey being a poorly written character being one of them, and then move on. The problem with this criticism isn’t the criticism itself, but rather the people who bang on and on and on about it reveal that they didn’t have a problem with the writing, they had a problem with a female character having agency.

    Mind what people do, not just what they say, for deeds will betray a lie.

    My dude, are you calling me a simp? I didn’t know she had a patreon before today, and I wouldn’t be a subscriber even if I did. There’s infinite porn available for free. Everything I know about pizzacake is from the comment sections (and included links) of the last 3 times one of her comics made it into my feed. I have some basic reading and comprehension skills, so it’s not hard for me to quickly see exactly what’s going on here.

    pizzacake is a woman with opinions. misogynists hate her for that. One time, she didn’t handle that very well. Lots of people got banned on reddit. Now people here mostly bitch about her comics being “low effort” and such, which mostly just reveals “I don’t have a legit argument to hate this person so I’m going to pointlessly criticise her work instead.”

    As I’ve said in another comment, if some rando did the same scenario in ragemaker and posted it, everyone would be all over how relatable it is.

    That said, it is possibly to simply not like the artstyle, or to not find the scenario relatable, or whatever criticism a person might have. Divorced of context, those criticisms sound valid. With context though, it becomes obvious that it is popular to persecute pizzacake.





  • I haven’t been reading it in years, but even back then there were multiple gay/lesbian main characters. The subject of ai civil rights (obvious minority allegory) was a somewhat frequent topic. I vaguely remember there being a couple pages dedicated to how the human/machine war never happened because a couple researchers decided not to be dicks to their freshly spawned ai and instead treated it with compassion and empathy.

    the comic was always woke, we just didn’t have a monosyllabic word for it back then.
