Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

This comment has most of what I would say to reply to you, so I'm linking it. Could you point out exactly what I've said so far that led you to believe that I'm biased against PCC because she's an artist or a woman?
I haven't spoken about PCC in, possibly, multiple years. I only posted because I was answering someone's question.
Well, she's not making fun of me because I don't leave those kinds of comments on her posts, but yeah, this is literally what I just said she was doing. It's called rage-baiting and it's going really well for her because the popularity she gains from it translates to Patreon memberships.
If by raw emotion you mean mild disappointment at the lack of a punchline, sure.
Just spitballing here, but it seems like you're trying to turn me into something I'm not so that you have a target to spew hatred on. I'm not one of those people raging in the comments about "trans bad, me angry!11!" that I'm sure you love to hurl insults at on Reddit. I'm just someone that doesn't like comics that I don't find humorous.
Because they're not all bad comics and I thought this one was kinda funny, so I wanted to read the comments.
You mean the really highly downvoted person saying they downvoted the post? I didn't reply to them. I replied to the person asking a simple question.
What, did you expect me to write an essay on the subject?
I wouldn't be on forums like this at all if I wasn't bored. Are you frustrated that by continuing to reply, I've prevented you from getting the last word in?
I'm someone that used to like Pizzacake's comics and gradually went from excited when I recognized the art style in my feed to annoyed that it was probably going to be another comic without a real punchline, eventually just blocking her account entirely to stop it from showing up.
What exactly are you hoping to achieve here? I know why I'm here (boredom), but what are you trying to get me to say that would satisfy you? From my perspective, you seem to be attempting to manufacture bigotry where there is none so you can feel righteous indignation and have an enemy to tear down.
Dude, let it go.
Pointing out someone's art is minimum effort, bland and unimaginative is "hateful"?
OK buddy.
This shit is exactly why I don't what pizzacake's bullshit here. For some fucking reason if you dare say anything short of "great comic" you are immediately lambasted as some kind of social miscreant who must be motivated by anti-women rhetoric.
You are not allowed to dislike pizzacake comics.
"You don't have to comment, you can just scroll!"
We're fucking allowed to discuss content online, even critically.
But not pizzacake. For some reason pizzacake is fucking sacred and if you aren't actively licking the shit out of her asshole you're literally the devil.
This is exactly the fucking problem.
She's not actually making fun of them, though, she's making fun of a stereotype which she imagines her "haters" to be.
The two linked examples are pretty much the definition of a strawman argument.
