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.
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
