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.

Some people don't like her because she makes a lot of comics that are like, "Haha, I have portrayed myself as the chad and you as the wojak, therefore I am superior!" Without having any actual comedic value. Example 1, Example 2 (both are reddit links, you have been warned).
She also threatened r/bonehurtingjuice with legal action to make them ban remixes of her comics, something not even Stonetoss (the Nazi comic everyone hates) has done.
Don't forget about the comic she made downplaying the seriousness of male r*pe on mens mental health awareness day, and the arguments she participated in under her own post with male victims of SA.
Link?
Here's a r/SubredditDrama post that covers what was said before mods nuked the comments section
https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/1dqxmm0/frequent_rcomics_poster_pizzacake_creates_a_comic/
And another with more proof of mods nuking comments

yes, she's a "bitch" because she...posted a comic about the double standards between men and women. irony so thick it could kill you if your skull was any thinner.
I mean, what she posted isn't even that bad. incels and simps get upset about it because they feel personally attacked, and they should.
if you get upset over her comics then you're telling on yourself.
...did you respond to the wrong person or are you just making shit up to be mad at because you don't have an argument?
they won't respond because there is none.
Receipts have been posted above. Respectfully, I hope more people realize that when someone tries to paint every single one of their critics as being a misogynistic incel, that its a manipulation tactic. (Even though, yes, reddit is full of those too)
I find it really distasteful that she makes comics "in support" of trans people while denying those born as male can experience sexual assault. It's just a different, more subtle/socially acceptable form of transphobia.
Oh wow, that sounds positively charming.
So dine people don't like her because she tells them to piss off? Not a bad reason for me.
She used to be pretty funny years ago, before she started focusing on hating her haters instead of making actual funny stuff. She started doing things like making a comic she knew would piss off some bigots in the comments, then making another comic (or a few) making fun of the people that hated on her to farm karma from the people who saw the original comic. Some people like that. It's just a bit too toxic for me. I blocked her account a long time ago, so idk what she's making these days.
That was pretty funny.
I found both examples kinda marginally funny.
Nothing nowhere near anything that would be reason to downvote some other piece of her work, like the one in the OP.
Beyond that, call me old fashioned, but copyright is copyright.
I liked both comics. I also like bone hurting juice. Fair use is valid.
Yep, if they're funny to you, then good for you. I'm not trying to claim that she's objectively bad or anything like that. I'm just explaining why a lot of people don't like her.
those examples are terrible. does she not get to respond to all the hate she gets because she's an artist or because she's a woman?
either way you answer you're wrong because anyone has the ability to respond to the hate and vitriol they receive.
I don't know what's more pathetic Example 1, Example 2 ; that fact that people are so butthurt over her they have to go out of their way to make her sound shitty, or the fact that people go out of their way to mention how much they hate her.
don't like her? just ignore her, she can't hurt you. just move on man...it's just making you look sad and pathetic.
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?
cool story bro.
it's not what you said, it's that you said anything at all.
did you guys ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, the reason why she makes fun of you is because you keep coming back with more hate? that she gains far more impressions and traffic on pointing out the hate and engaging with it instead of allowing it to steamroll her? that she somehow feels empowered when she calls out the sexist and vile shit people say to her--online--in public--for everyone to see?
of course not. why would you? you see pizzacake and you just get filled with so much raw emotion you can't control yourself and lash out like a child only to be driven to attack....a comic artist....
stop acting like a petulant child.
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.
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.
just so I can get the message clear from you.
if that's true then why did you;
I'm going to be honest with you, I'm having a really hard time understanding the logic you used to get here. so help me out.
you say you don't like comics you don't find humorous, yet you go out of your way to waste your time and effort to post a comment supporting a narrative that the artist is a terrible person for....defending themselves? not only that, you continue to return again and again to defend your position on an artist you claim you don't care about...
from my perspective, it seems like you're either a rage-baiting troll or you're an enraged simp that's upset because you feel personally attacked by a woman and now that your views are getting called out you're too embarrassed and emotional to take a step back and evaluate your opinion.
give me a third option here, I'm not seeing a lot of other ways to view you right now.
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.
I could say the same to you.
awful lot of hateful comments on this post from you...
Pointing out someone's art is minimum effort, bland and unimaginative is "hateful"?
OK buddy.
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.
