    The way Pizzacake pictures herself in these comics is quite bizarre. This is like winning an argument in your head and making a comic based on that argument.

      She keeps stroking her ego with every comic she makes. And with every threat to sue someone for criticizing or making fun of her comics…

      It’s just lazy pandering, even if she might mean good. This is pretty much equal to a rightwinger meme about a leftist, so not worth anyone’s time or any thought. Not like she has to think while making her comics

        Because it presents the opponent as a single-minded imbecile and doesn’t even attempt to address what might be motivating a person to have those beliefs (racism, poverty, lack of diversity during upbringing, religious beliefs, etc).

        In any case, it’s a lazy comic. There’s no joke.

          See, the problem with your argument there is that portraying your opponent as a single minded imbecile would be an example of strawman fallacy… if it wasn’t also completely and demonstrably true.

          Is every Trump voter like this? No. But the majority are, and those are the people being depicted in the comic. Don’t like it? Maybe sit down and spend some time unpacking that reaction.

            To be a pendant; this is not a strawman. A strawman is an argument that like a training dummy is stood up so that you can easily knock it down. The MAGA in the comic makes no argument at all; let alone one that is easy to defeat.

            If it fits into any type of fallacy; it would be appeal to absurdity. The comic paints the MAGA as a mindless idiot; a caricature of reality.

            If anything it shows that the woman; with the bored look on her face, knows what she is doing is pointless, yet she persists. Knowing her efforts are meaningless.

              Much like how it’s pointless arguing against her fans, since they seem to see her as infallible even though she’s as toxic as they come

          I mean, I think it’s a cringe comic for sure. I agree with your other comment about it in this thread. But to dismiss it as a strawman, as if it were an argumentative essay instead of the cringy make-fun-of-morons comic – that smells more of fascist tears than it does of concerned leftist.

          This is why I don’t want PCC anywhere on Lemmy, her toxic fanbase ruins every community they touch. Well, won’t be too long until she finds about Lemmy and starts threatening to sue people over here, too

        I can be anti-fascism and also anti-poorly written webcomic at the same time.

          Don’t even bother with her fans, they’re rabid as fuck. Why? I don’t know. Maybe they simp her for her nudes or something, but her comics are not worth anyone’s time
