    I’m unfamiliar, this is the first thing of hers I’ve encountered and I thought it fun enough to post here. Is there one of those Reasons people don’t like her?

      There’s a long story involving her threatening legal action against a subreddit over people parodying her work, overall she seems to be a very thin skinned individual that doesn’t take criticism well.

      Her work also just isn’t very good, in my view. Her art style is incredibly bland, and her positions on various topics are just the biggest “no shit” moments you can imagine.

        To be fair, if the biggest critiques of an internet celeb was that they were thin-skinned and their takes aren’t very spicy then I take that as a win in today’s environment. Hell even being “sort of an asshole” is pretty good by today’s standards.

          It could be worse, but then again, people wouldn’t be posting her work all the time if she’d done something truly awful.

          Instead she makes bland dross that confirms people’s opinions, and people think she’s actually creative as a result.

        She’s an example of a normal person becoming famous and having to navigate those waters without a team.

        You’re a wonderful example of an outside critic without consideration. I’m thankful I’m just a nobody like you, because these critiques upset me even when I’m not involved whatsoever.

          I wasn’t aware I had to be an artist to criticise Pizzacake.

          And even without the drama on Reddit, which I don’t particularly care about, her work is extremely bland and unimaginative.

            Lots of posts on Lemmy are bland and unimaginative. I don’t feel the need to comment as such in each and every one of them.

            You don’t have to be an artist to criticize her, just like I don’t have to be a critic to recognize bandwagoning. People shit on her because it’s popular, not because of good reasons.

            Continue to manifest reddit drama here, and argue for shitting on people. I’ll take my downvotes for standing up for artists. There are literally hundreds of bigger problems we should be speaking up about, this comic artist is not one of them.

            You swore you’d never post that photo, I only kicked that basket because you said it was the only way you could get off
