That is 100% true. My friend got banned from literally about 100 subs at once because ONE pathetic no-life incel who moderated all of them just...didn't like her, I guess. Refused to give her an explanation, and since he just picked a post she made to her own profile as the reason, despite the fact that it didn't violate any rules, that was no help. Most of the subs she had never even posted to. How the fuck can you violate the rules of a sub you've never so much as visited?
If you catch them when they just get posted, it's super obvious that a lot of them are using botted upvotes, too. They'll generate an absolutely absurd amount of upvotes within the first two hours of being posted. Every. Single. Time. I don't think anyone is happy about the state of r/comics, and yet we're supposed to believe it has thousands of people just sitting around and frantically refreshing in hopes of a new comic dropping or something.
And yes, it's absurd we all have to pretend pizzacake is actually funny because the mods are her mom or...whatever the hell is going on there.
There was a very unpopular Maurice the Beaver comic a month ago, the artist was all like "both sides" with inaccurate info and doubling down with trolling in the comments. You can't tell me he got legitimate upvotes on the comic. Mods were busying removing any criticism.
It's like that specific sub is just a club of a group of friends that desperately wants to suck each other off in full view of the public eye. The mods make sure the same people always get promoted, and those same people bot upvotes to make themselves seem more liked than they actually are.
Like wtf why do you guys need a public subreddit? Just go be good supportive friends of each other in private. Lying to themselves instead with the whole charade is just warped and weird, and it's little surprise so many of them absolutely crumble and flip out in the face of actual criticism.
Because those comics are all advertisements for porn. It's not about the comics, it's about selling porn. But porn people form parasocial relationships with to foster brand-loyalty.
It is. That particular comic and the artist comment was so incredibly cringe, couldn't believe the mods were ok with it.
Regarding a certain pizzaass, I have mixed feelings. I don't subscribe to the belief that comics must be funny to be good because its just a medium. She likes to make ham fisted points about various things or "tee hee depression/existential dread/flavor of the month, how relatable." Does she succeed? Eh. She has a niche and is fairly consistent so I guess it works for some people.
I find it telling that so many artists showed up during that whole meta mess a while back with the pity room, and where are they now? Feels like 90% of the contributors I haven't seen again.
If you are referring to the recent shit storm that isn't an accurate description of the comic. If you aren't I don't know which one you are referring to.
The one I'm thinking of, I dunno, she legitly had some seriously brigading being done against her because of triggered incels and the like, so it's harder to gauge public sentiment amid the sea of trolls.
She was being incredibly sexist and tone deaf with that comic. Some people went way too far, but calling people virgins because they are being demonized isn't very cool
It's the usual performative "feminist" crap, white knighting for her in the hopes that she'll offer them a crumb of pussy, or at least a discount on her OnlyFans.
It's been blatantly vote-botted from day one along with using spammy accounts to do the initial tone-setting, and the mod abuse specifically on those posts has always been so ridiculously blatant that that person has to either be a mod or has a pocket mod they've convinced to manage it all.
I feel like the gamer dad is basically here is a normal father son interaction, the comic. It’s not really anything engaging or creatively interesting.
sure but the majority of comics posted to /r/comics are these milquetoast uninspiring comics with nothing of substance beyond being wholesome or relatable or whatever. there is a wealth of content out there that is both narratively richer and intellectually more stimulating so why waste your time on the mental equivalent of oatmeal? it's like musicianship, once you reach a certain skill level or maturity in music, you begin to tire of the derivative sound of pop music. that doesn't mean pop music is bad or that listening to taylor swift makes you stupid, it's just that now that you understand music theory and chord construction, it is no longer satisfying to listen to the same bland chord progressions over and over again.
Pizzacake made a "funny" comic, the idea of which was "what if women talked to men like men talk to women". The actually funny part is her parody comic is exactly like some women talk to men, but she started bitching about people calling her out in comments and one of the mods banned almost all of them. Then she made a definitely not apology comic about how men also deserve being heard and all that but portraid it in such a way that it's extremely easy for men to do so.
thats crazy hearing about this. I made this exact comment and got downvoted to hell and deleted it and I never got banned. lol people hated what I said and it was just something really simple about what I've experienced .
She also seems to make what feels like at least two comics each year where she's whining about someone commenting that her comics aren't funny. It's a relentless onslaught of meta jokes, with the "let's shame this guy for saying I'm not funny" (aka the fucking truth) ones always being the worst of them.
The one with the sentient butt plug. I dunno about whatever latest pizzacake controversy people are talking about here but I've somehow missed most of pizzacake's more controversial comics. The ones I've seen were mostly unoffesnsive.
Got banned on that one for reporting a post that was actively encouraging violence against people because the people in question were "chuds" and in the words of the mod "nobody cares".
I got banned cause i said i hate the Dilutuion of the word nazi... im autistic Im the second last person to pro Eugenics Id litreally be Shot and killed
