I'll take my downvotes, but while I agree with the sentiment in this particular comic I have no fucking interest in seeing shitty pizzacake and her no-punchline comics or her army of sycophants here on Lemmy.

I will never understand why some of you insist on bringing the garbage we left Reddit to escape over here to Lemmy. Let pizzacake have her tiny window of microcelebrity on reddit and please spare the rest of us this bullshit.

"Why can't everyone else just hate the same things I hate!?"

Imagine being this worked up about a webcomic, shitty or otherwise.

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 1 points 31 minutes ago (1 children)

Also "this worked up", lol.

Just curious, exactly how worked up do you think a person must be to undertake the Herculean effort of making a drive-by Lemmy comment?

Yes clearly this is consuming the whole of my being.

[–] dmention7@lemm.ee 2 points 26 minutes ago* (last edited 26 minutes ago) (1 children)

I mean, you replied twice to my comment, to let me know you weren't worked up, so....

Also stating

passivity in the face of decline has always been the preferable option. Protecting our sacred decorum is so much more important than maintaining a critical eye and standards

makes me think you're taking it pretty damn seriously lol

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 1 points 23 minutes ago* (last edited 23 minutes ago) (2 children)

Yeah boredom on a slow day at work can't exist.

And my level of investment automatically invalidates any point I make right? Because that's how discussions work, discredit and invalidate the arguer rather than the argument.

Cool interaction.

[–] dmention7@lemm.ee 0 points 4 minutes ago

So maybe consider channeling that boredom into something productive instead of tearing down something you don't like, that has zero tangible impact on your life.

Anyway, you're right this is not a great interaction, so take 'er easy.

These people want Lemmy to be Reddit and don't understand why that's a problem. You are quite literally pissing in the chud winds. I upvoted you, but I do think you're wasting your time outside of your initial comment.

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 0 points 36 minutes ago

Yeah, passivity in the face of decline has always been the preferable option. Protecting our sacred decorum is so much more important than maintaining a critical eye and standards. Great take.

sorry you don't like her. i enjoy her work. it's not intrinsically tied to reddit.

[–] FatTony@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I think you're asking for the moon here, pal.

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

You're not wrong. The fact that I'm fighting a knowing losing battle doesn't make it less meaningful in my eyes, however.

[–] Cataphract@lemmy.ml 3 points 34 minutes ago

It might help if you included, like, any real information at all since this is so important and meaningful to you. Or just keep raging into the night like a lunatic lol.

I’ll take my downvotes, but while I agree with the sentiment in this particular comic I have no fucking interest in seeing shitty pizzacake and her no-punchline comics or her army of sycophants here on Lemmy.

"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

I will never understand why some of you insist on bringing the garbage we left Reddit to escape over here to Lemmy. Let pizzacake have her tiny window of microcelebrity on reddit and please spare the rest of us this bullshit.

We kimosabe? I left Reddit because because its rapidly becoming a rightwing hellhole and it's inevitable enshitification due to being centralized and privately owned. Go create your own circlejerk club lemmy instance that hates pizzacake. Or just filter it.

Or IDK, downvote and move on. Lambasting a comic book artist in the comments because you see them as undeserving of their success is aggressively elitist hipster douchebaggery.

You should be like me and make everyone hate you for reasons that matter (Telling them their politics and philosophy is shit and stupid) and not arbitrary culture in-group-out-group elitism.

We really need a deadly plague that's easy to vaccinate against.

[–] excral@feddit.org 1 points 42 minutes ago (1 children)

That would be cruel, as it would cost countless innocent lives of those who cannot be vaccinated because of preexisting conditions, allergies or whatever.

[–] RIPandTERROR@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 minutes ago

I'd be interested in the cost analysis of lives saved from MAGA's hate crimes vs lives lost to inability to vaccinate.

Fortunately it's just daydreaming as no one has control of this runaway cart.

[–] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

My sister has lost several friends when they voted MAGA and showed their true, horror selves. My sister is a hero.

I seriously had a Right-Wing friend of mine try to tell me that

"The Trans needed some pushback because they were simply demanding too much" Card

Which hurt, especially with a "You need to learn to compromise, we're not asking much. It's not going to tear your arm off to put biologically accurate data onto government documents." Stat Boosting Spell Card he threw down when I pointed out that Trump was ordering people to put M's on Transwomen's documentation

I'd never been more insulted in my life. Bro had no clue he was legitimately saying the modern version of "Look the Government just needs to know your background, wearing that Star of David in public isn't going to get you killed."

Thankfully he was willing to listen when I pointed that goof out to him.... He's still a Right Winger who's now willing to walk back his statements in favor of "Agree to disagree"

I love my friend and I'd stand up if his rights were being violated, I'm just horrified to realize he absolutely will not show me the same decency.

[–] excral@feddit.org 3 points 36 minutes ago

Kind of ironic that those who preach for a small government are the same just have to collect as much documentation as possible. Ironic until you realise how helpful that might be if you want to persecute some minorities eventually.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 4 points 3 hours ago

“You need to learn to compromise, we’re not asking much. It’s not going to tear your arm off to put biologically accurate data onto government documents.”

Like... Why though? For what reason does the government need this and why would a normal person even care? I could see that it needs to be documented in medical history but even then they should refer to you properly.

God, does the "Asking for too much" card drive me fucking crazy.
These darn queers and their desire to walk the streets without the risk of being beaten to death, how dare them!
