    At first I didn’t really care about Pizzacakes content but ever since they started bashing Nazis and AI I like their content more and more.

      She makes the correct points in the least funny way possible. Every time I see her art style I brace myself, read it with a totally straight face, think to myself “yep,” open the comments expecting to see a bunch of Pizzacake haters and anti-haters, get just that, and close the page until the next time. The consistency of that interaction over the last few years is one of the most bizarre phenomena of the internet I’ve encountered.

        At what point do you think the artist has become aware of this and makes these comics to just ragebait? the bare minimum amount of work generates so, so much interaction, which I assume turns into some amount of monetary value through more eyes or ads or whatever

        I would guess anyone spreading the comics also does it for the ragebait

          She’s a political cartoonist nowadays. Which is fine but its jarring when your looking for hahas.

        She errs on the unambiguously good perspective rather than ruffling a greater amount of feathers for deeper laughs from a smaller audience. You could call that least funny, or you could call it doing the right thing.
