Bringing pizzacake to Lemmy and not expecting her sycophants to follow is like stealing a block of cheese from a rat and not expecting it to follow you.
Yes, there are some misogynists who hate pizzacake because she is a woman exercising her agency.
That is not the majority of pushback against her, just the most disgusting and vocal.
The vast majority of criticism of pizzacake is towards her lack of punchlines, constant strawmanning, the unbelievable sycophants who follow and worship her and have turned the relevant subreddit into basically /r/ChurchofPizzacake, and for pizzacake's pattern of poor behavior in interactions on reddit and elsewhere.
There is a lot of grossness surrounding the entire pizzacake topic, yes, that's undeniable. But to effectively chalk up all or most of the criticism as misogyny when a healthy majority of it sticks to the content of her comics or conduct in direct interactions rather than any extracurricular activities she may engage in, is just disingenuous as fuck.
Honestly I've come around on pizzacake. I now think it's actually an impressive artistic feat to make a successful webcomic where your secondary main character is consistently a non-existent strawman.
It's like social commentary on social commentary, wrapped in countless layers of irony and meta, right?
I'm so confused, I'm a Spotify user and there are multiple artists I've selected "don't play this artist" on that Spotify blocks for me; it won't even play those artists when I click playlists including them.
Honestly no joke, I do hope the future is one where we eschew all this needless religiously-borne body shame. We are the only animal on the planet that feels the need to be ashamed of our genitalia. That's weird. And I think it's weird as hell that for the vast majority of us, we have no idea what like 20% of the bodies of our very closest friends and relatives look like. That's crazy to me - I don't know what 20% of my very best friend actually looks like.
So yeah, I desperately hope humanity in the future has figured out how get past this unnecessary shame.
Just remember, parents, it goes the opposite way too. Sometimes a kid has real talent, but lack of encouragement doesn't push us to cultivate it. Kids pick up on what you say, or don't say, more than a lot of parents realize.
Exactly why she's not a leader. A leader understand that you don't have time to lick you wounds when the enemy is at your door. She should be fighting harder now, not sulking.
Alright, valid, you're right, the presented limiting factor in the meme is in fact the SoL and not actually man's ability to reach it. I concede, cheers.
