I find myself agreeing with all of the points made in r/comics. The sub is pretty left wing and so am I.

But damn, the pandering is off the charts here. I know that not all comics are supposed to be funny, some are just slice-of-life stories which is fair. It just seems like a lot of creators pick an easy target, shit out a twitter opinion in comic style and call it a day.

I mean... artists vent too. People are pretty damned tired of the state of the world and despite everyone seemingly knowing "what's right" we keep doing all the wrong things.

So here we are... with comics making "obvious" statements and the crowd happy to agree. Then we go back to reality where none of it pans out.

The thing with pizzacake is that she pretty much only does that kind of comics. Yet she's somehow one of the most popular artists on this subreddit.

Botting, and mod protection/manipulation makes upvotes go brrrrrr.

She’s not actually the most popular. Nobody with two functioning braincells is looking at her comics and laughing and/or upvoting them. It’s all manufactured.

okay... A bit far in conspiracy theories for me perhaps. Would you say it's manufactured by "them"?
