Crazy how many folks can't scroll past something they aren't interested in. And not thoughtful critiques. Just whining really. Their delicate eyes witnessed it, thus they were compelled to come make a comment.
I don't think I'd ever find it appropriate to whine in the comments of a user's post, over a post breaking no rules. I have, and would... just scroll by.
I don't see "No Pizza Cake" in the rules... why would someone think it would just never show up?
- I think it's basically internet law at this point, if Pizzacake is posted, cranky men must make it known that they find her (and her comics) cRinGe and mEdiOcRe and also she's a mAnHaTer (dontchaknow).
  
  And yet they subscribe to her OF
  
  No, they don’t.
  
  Methinks he doth protest too much.
  
  So you honestly think people who can’t stand her, subscribe to her OF?
  Do you spend a lot of time on Fox News? What about Teslas? Do you have one? No? Big fan of Christianity? No? Well, that MUST mean you go to church! Right?
  Where do you people find this broken logic?
  
  What I posted was what we like to call a joke. Actually it was a well trod reference to Hamlet by William Shakespeare.
  See, the thing about humor, it's often irrational. I'm not going to get into a grounded debate with you, as you do not deserve the energy and much like a pigeon, are perfectly happy to shit everywhere and fly off when you're bored.
  But for posterity, it doesn't really matter if you do or don't pay for her OnlyFans, it only matters that it bothers you. And that tiny little twinge of shadenfruede warms the cockles.
  
  What I posted is what we like to call illustrative sarcasm.
  And what is funny is that you think my illustrating your bad joke is a representation of what bothers me without ever having known who I am or what I’m about.
  lol
  I basically made you illustrate the argument against her by your own example.
  I judge her on what she has said and done. You’ve judged me on who you need me to be so your opinion appears to be valid.
  
  We're all so very proud of you. Good boy with your big boy arguments
  
  “We”? So, are you the self-appointed representative of just this community, or lemmy as a whole?
  
  Big boy with big boy rhetoric. I'm loving this "debate me bro" energy! We really are just so very very proud of your indepth analysis of
  *checks notes
  a throw away web comic posted by a complete stranger on the internet.
- i mean, the best punishment for bad art is lack of engagement.
  I don't think pizzacake is a troll (as in makes bad comics so it gets negative engagement), but here we are.
  People complaining about her in the comments actually helps her.
  if you don't like it, just move along, don't give hold her in your head like that zen story about crossing the river with a girl.
  
  I'll be honest, I kinda wanted lemmy to not have the same mentality as the audience of r/comics who just straight up hate all men. But it looks like these comments are kind of a warzone. I wonder if the mods from that sub have any power here? They defend her from even polite and constructive criticism.
  
  Bro, I wouldn't call this "hate all men" content. If you think all men (or even a majority of men) are like that guy, you need to rework your thought patterns.
- And not thoughtful critiques. Just whining really
  So just scroll past it if you don't like it?
  
  Feeling called out?
  
  Are you? I haven't whined on this post, so that's a weird accusation to make. Methinks you're projecting, sorry your delicate eyes witnessed an opinion you don't like.
- This comic is neither funny nor thoughtful. I’d say it’s getting the critique it deserves.
  
  I found d it funny. It's almost like funny is a subjective thing.
