As a leftist, as a progressive, I long for a world where I never have to see these comics again. It's not that I disagree with them, they're just so goddamn annoying and low hanging fruit shit

If some rando did this exact scenario in ragemaker and posted it, with no connection to pizzacake, everyone would be talking about how relatable it is. I'd wager you'd be included in that 'everyone'.

And then if that rando did it every day for like five years, I'd get tired of their shit too.

except the situation you're describing is not happening.

Well that's kind of the point. It's low hanging fruit because everyone agrees with it. No one thinks you are obligated to argue with others, which is the straw man's position. It's not that you don't have a right to block critics, the question is "When is it a good idea?".

It sounds like a lot of people think the author does it too liberally, which can lead to an echo chamber. Most people would say creating a lawsuit against your critics is also an overreaction, but people have also been saying she gets harassed a lot. That makes it more reasonable if true.

So downvote and move on. The moaning about her is even more dull and repetitive.

[–] sarcasticsunrise@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

"droll and repetitive" is some serious projection my apparently terminally online friend. I've never heard of this artist before in my life

[–] KombatWombat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Droll means amusing. You might have meant dull instead

Yeah, that'd be autocorrect.

It's been fascinating seeing this platform slowly turn against Pizzacake as more of her stuff gets posted.
