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?

Every time I see this comic I think "you totally had a confrontation you fumbled, then came up with a response a week later and made a comic to 'own' someone".

You're onto something here

I also just generally like the Mary Sue nature of drawing yourself into your own comics and making yourself look good under all circumstances. It really communicates a lack of narcissism and arrogance.

I like how you sarcasm.

Y'all gonna pretend the person in the comic isn't real? I've seen comments of that exact nature discussing people who block others before bruh, find a legitimate comic to post this on next time

That's fair criticism. In the comic at hand, you're right, they're not a non-existent strawman, as this strawman does exist. The apt critique for this specific comic is more about how blaringly obvious the conclusion that is being presented as revelatory is, so I shouldn't have used the word "non-existent" in this specific critique. Very fair, cheers.

Well, same way Stormtroopers wear helmets. You can’t really individualize them or people start to appreciate them and root for them, like they do every villain.

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."

Pot/Kettle much? You haven't even engaged with my criticism, since I never once have called pizzacake's comics either "crazy" or "irrelevant" or any synonym thereof; if anything they're too pedestrian and "low-hanging fruit," the exact opposite of those critiques.
And you see, this right here is why some of us don't want pizzacake's bullshit here; it is seemingly impossible for people to engage with criticism of them honestly, for some unknown reason.
I have never once sought out a pizzacake comic to shit on. I have never once criticized pizzacake for anything outside the content of the art she has personally entered into the public square or her conduct in relation to said art. All I have ever done is engage with the art brought into the public square for consideration. This is c/comicstrips, not c/comicstripsycophantry, ostensibly a community for the discussion and consideration of this media form, not just a place for empty yes-manning.
So as for you, feel free to take your own advice and just block me if you find my content distasteful, but as for your assertion, you can kindly fuck right off with that.

You aren't even using that term right; I'm not asking for you to engage me in shit, nor am I feigning civility as I've been pretty clearly aggressive in my stance and told you to fuck off. Again, enormous pot/kettle projection. But hey, I'll save us both the trouble and do the blocking for you. 👍
