I agree with you. These comics are pretty low effort excuses to shill a NSFW patreon. In other words, ads.
It's best to leave these to reddit.

I've backslid into a pretty doomer mindset recently with everything going on, but this thread has helped refocus some of my perspective. A community like this is very nice, I appreciate you all. I'm gonna work on it.
I've been using IronFox on mobile since Mull went away, but I'm ready to hear why that's a bad option from anyone who knows better.
So far its worked very similarly to Mull, in that I've had no issues with it so far. I don't do banking or financial shit on my phone though, so I can't comment on how well it works for that functionality.
I believe that if someone is supporting policies that are directly impacting your quality of life/well being you're well within your rights of cutting that person out and telling them to fuck off.
This goes beyond "politics". What kind of garbage person puts the well being of 2 handfuls of rich failsons ahead of their own children? Well, my parents for one, and your dad for another it seems.
Before cutting them out, I recommend putting it in terms similar to this. Emphasize how they have failed at the basic premise of being a parent by putting their own children's wellbeing behind that of about a handful of the wealthiest families on the planet with more resources than god. Literally subsidizing these strangers failsons at the expense of their own children.
Oh yeah I didn't mean to imply selling NSFW content is bad or a moral failing of some sort, because its not. Same way pushing boner pills on prime time cable isn't some sort of moral failing, I just don't care for it and have no desire to have that content pushed to me, so I avoid it.
My quibble with pizzacake is the low effort level of pushing these ads. If she was selling artisinal mittens and using low effort comics to push that I'd feel the same. It's just extra weird because the rabid fanbase will jump down your throat to the point that you have to post paragraphs denouncing misogynist intent just to point out that these comics are low effort ads.
EDIT: the r/comics drama and her general handling of criticisms also have influenced my opinion of pizzacake. But honestly, these comics lack any sort of punchline most of the time, and the "biting political takes" like this one are so BLAND and safe.
