    Every block enforced your echo chamber, brick by brick.

    This is why i don’t block things in general. How could I possibly have the slightest bit of nuanced idea of what other people talk about, if i just block it?

      Because you read (past tense) it before you blocked it?

      also- It’s certainly not hard to get a nuanced idea of others non-nuanced ideas.

      Or read up on what their ideas are and not engage with the worst version of a person with that belief system.

        That’s the whole point. I don’t want a “past tense” understanding of what is being said and written by “people”.

        Obviously spammers get blocked, cause they make it hard to read. The rest are just words and opinions. All of which I’m perfectly capable of dealing with.

    I don’t mind pizzacake commics, but at this point just seeing the art style is enough to get me pre-emptivly upset at how stupid and insane the comment section is going to be.

      I see it and just sigh because I know nobody will talk about the actual comic it will just be about how shitty of a person she is for X reason.

            I fail to understand why posting a pair of tits is such a controversial thing to do. Maybe I’m too European to lose my marbles over some nipples.

              I fail to understand why posting a pair of tits is such a controversial thing to do

              Pizzacake makes a lot of feminist leaning comics which heavily criticize the patriarchy, male objectification of women and “creepy” men who comment sexual things towards women.

              In light of that, a lot of people find it hypocritical that she’d sell pictures of herself online for dudes to jerk off to when that’s the exact opposite audience her comics tries to appeal to.

              When the leak first happened, she presented the narrative as though her consent was violated and she was being sexually harassed by having private nudes released. When people found out that she was selling the photos publicy for money, suddenly it became aparent we werent talking about sexual abuse we were talking about piracy. It got a lot of people irritated for having been mislead, and then they started asking why the photos were there in the first place.

              If she knows that she is the target of harassment campaigns, a lot of people are confused as to why she would post her nudes in a public space and not expect them to leak.

              Given the fact she is a public figure who regularly makes comics out of her children, regularly gets doxxed and is targetted by hate, you would expect her to be a bit smarter about what she puts online. She’s been online for years but seeks to lack basic understanding of cause and effect online (or else she understands it all too well and plays the victim perfectly to promote herself by baiting outrage incredibly effectively).

              The part of it that bothers me personally is that there are kids involved and there is a 100% chance that all the kids at her son’s school know and have looked up these nudes and her son probably gets bullied about it.

                  What?

                  A “paragon of virtue” is a person who is considered a perfect example of goodness and moral excellence. It implies they possess a high degree of admirable qualities like honesty, kindness, and justice, making them a role model of good character. The phrase is often used to describe someone who is perceived as flawless or exceptionally virtuous.

                  I never used this term sorry, I’m not sure what you’re reading.

                  She has children an online business so she has to be a paragon of virtue have basic OPSEC?

                  Yes, everyone should practice OPSEC, but a public “celebrity” who’s sole business is online doubly so.

                  Operations security (OPSEC) is a process that identifies critical information to determine whether friendly actions can be observed by enemy intelligence, determines if information obtained by adversaries could be interpreted to be useful to them, and then executes selected measures that eliminate or reduce adversary exploitation of friendly critical information.

                  A parent should simply include their kids in the calculus.

          pizzacake is a woman with opinions. misogynists hate her for that. One time, she didn’t handle that very well. Lots of people got banned on reddit. Now people here mostly bitch about her comics being “low effort” and such, which mostly just reveals “I don’t have a legit argument to hate this person so I’m going to pointlessly criticise her work instead.”

          As I’ve said in another comment, if some rando did the same scenario in ragemaker and posted it, everyone would be all over how relatable it is.

          That said, it is possibly to simply not like the artstyle, or to not find the scenario relatable, or whatever criticism a person might have. Divorced of context, those criticisms sound valid. With context though, it becomes obvious that it is popular to persecute pizzacake.
