Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
Web of links
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 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.
Who is pizzacake and why do so many commenters dislike them?
From the comments, it seems the artist herself isn't well liked.
From knowing nothing about the artist, but having seen a huge bulk of these comics: Maybe they're incels. 🤷🏻♂️ These do tend to be about toxic masculinity and just bad male behavior in general. It's like seeing a Republican hating someone because that someone they hate calls out Republican bullshit. Considering the vagueness of the hate expressed in the thread, I am leaning toward this being the actual case.
Or maybe because she threatened illegitimate DMCA take downs of parodies on r/bonehurtingjuice resulting in mass censorship of any criticism of the fact that one of her comics was insensitive to victims of male sexual assault.

"It's about journalism, dammit!"
Yeah.... Based on all the relevant info and links there, I definitely don't think the hate is actually based on "illegitimate DMCA" takedown requests.
I have no idea what their deal is but one comic sure did cause a lot of butthurt.
Being a misogynist overbearing male asshole makes one unfuckable. They are the probably bitter about having that obvious truth pointed out to their dumb asses.
For real. Their ideaology is so twisted. They think that in order to attract women, they should be a what a man's idea of an attractive man is. And instead, being what a woman would find attractive is somehow... gay? Like, I just don't get it, like there's a very fundamental misunderstanding of what it is they are trying to do. Very square peg in a round hole situation.
