You will notice that it was not pizzacake that posted this.

Also I think we need a reset if we're at the point where critiquing and criticizing media is suddenly "being butthurt."

I will never understand this.

What job do you have where your boss would care and you would get in trouble for the word "Fuck" appearing on your screen where you wouldn't get in trouble for just browsing Lemmy in general?

This has always felt like a solution in search of a problem to me.

Bringing pizzacake to Lemmy and not expecting her sycophants to follow is like stealing a block of cheese from a rat and not expecting it to follow you.

persecute

Y'all have got to join us in reality.

Yes, there are some misogynists who hate pizzacake because she is a woman exercising her agency.

That is not the majority of pushback against her, just the most disgusting and vocal.

The vast majority of criticism of pizzacake is towards her lack of punchlines, constant strawmanning, the unbelievable sycophants who follow and worship her and have turned the relevant subreddit into basically /r/ChurchofPizzacake, and for pizzacake's pattern of poor behavior in interactions on reddit and elsewhere.

There is a lot of grossness surrounding the entire pizzacake topic, yes, that's undeniable. But to effectively chalk up all or most of the criticism as misogyny when a healthy majority of it sticks to the content of her comics or conduct in direct interactions rather than any extracurricular activities she may engage in, is just disingenuous as fuck.

Honestly I've come around on pizzacake. I now think it's actually an impressive artistic feat to make a successful webcomic where your secondary main character is consistently a non-existent strawman.

It's like social commentary on social commentary, wrapped in countless layers of irony and meta, right?

I'm so confused, I'm a Spotify user and there are multiple artists I've selected "don't play this artist" on that Spotify blocks for me; it won't even play those artists when I click playlists including them.

Web browser, lemm.ee?

Also appears the same for me on the Thunder for Lemmy app

Occasionally, not universally. I also occasionally enjoy a small bit of coffee flavor ice cream, though never very much, and I do actually like coffee in food occasionally; the espresso bellavitano is delightful and a small pinch of coffee or espresso is very nice in chilis, pork rubs, or chocolate cakes and mousses.

But drinking the stuff is no bueno for me.

Oh weird, they're showing up under the "Chat" option for some reason?

I'm so confused by this post.

So this is a weird one.... I'm seeing in the post details that there's 8 comments on this post, but none are showing as visible to me.

I'm also not seeing anything in the modlog for this post.... so where are all the comments?

Did we decide to start fucking shadowbanning on Lemmy or something or is there some other explanation here?
