What kind of narcissistic fuck refers to himself as "high value man"

[–] [email protected] 209 points 1 week ago

It’s taking the piss out of Andrew Tate and the gullible guys that he’s convinced are superior to women.

From all the trending news articles, ten year old boys who got access to tik tok

[–] [email protected] 65 points 1 week ago (4 children)

it's definitely not just the ten year olds that think this shit.

Mentally, they're all still ten-year-olds.

I still have both kidneys, so I'd say I'm pretty "high-value"

I still have both kidneys

So, if a date says you're "potentially a great match", clarify "organ donor or personality match", okay?

I love seeing these comics. You can always count on like 20 white males showing up asking how this is funny, that it's a strawman, that pizzacake is terrible, blah blah blah.

The simple thing is, they are comics that give a flavor of the times. Males ARE acting this way. Is it a caricature of a scenario, sure, but that's what a fucking comic is. Does it have to be "funny" in order to be a comic? No, there are political comics everywhere. Why does pizzacake only get this sort of ire? Is it because she's calling out white males on the absurdity of their actions, and they don't like it?

My advice? Chill TF out bros. It's a comic. If you don't like it, maybe you should talk to your buddies when they start acting like Andrew Taint's mouthpiece. Toxic masculinity is a real issue. Sorry that it takes a fucking pizzacake comic to discuss it...

Seriously -- my wife takes 0% of my bullshit, and that's such a great quality. Just sayin'.

Crazy how many folks can't scroll past something they aren't interested in. And not thoughtful critiques. Just whining really. Their delicate eyes witnessed it, thus they were compelled to come make a comment.

I don't think I'd ever find it appropriate to whine in the comments of a user's post, over a post breaking no rules. I have, and would... just scroll by.

I don't see "No Pizza Cake" in the rules... why would someone think it would just never show up?

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 week ago (25 children)

I think it's basically internet law at this point, if Pizzacake is posted, cranky men must make it known that they find her (and her comics) cRinGe and mEdiOcRe and also she's a mAnHaTer (dontchaknow).

I feel like this is one of those conversations you make up in your head and it's kinda cringe to write it down.

[–] [email protected] 63 points 1 week ago

From my experience men often underestimate how often women face weirdos. While the whole conversation might happen only in authors head the initial comment of the guy is quite a regular thing. It is a form of bullying. The rest of the conversation might happen in the authors head only, but it's sad that women have to face such behavior in the first place IMO. If you don't think such conversation happens at all, you might get enlightened by the everyday sexism project, the related (audio)book, or just ask a friendly woman around you if they ever faced it. https://everydaysexism.com/

Actually it is a regular thing among the asshole "manosphere" crowd (i.e. the pathetic fucking losersphere).

Just look at this thread. People are out in force acting superior to her and putting her down for having an only fans. Theyre providing unsolicited feedback, acting "high valued" without even realize theyre doing it. This comic is showing how she sees the unsolicited feedback from these people on the internet, and calls it out as it is, inconsequential to her life. And what do those very same people do? Get even more upset.

Frankly, i knew nothing about this lady before this thread happened. It's been a wild ride for me to follow

Who is pizzacake and why do so many commenters dislike them?

[–] [email protected] 64 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (9 children)

From the comments, it seems the artist herself isn't well liked.

From knowing nothing about the artist, but having seen a huge bulk of these comics: Maybe they're incels. 🤷🏻‍♂️ These do tend to be about toxic masculinity and just bad male behavior in general. It's like seeing a Republican hating someone because that someone they hate calls out Republican bullshit. Considering the vagueness of the hate expressed in the thread, I am leaning toward this being the actual case.

I have no idea what their deal is but one comic sure did cause a lot of butthurt.

This dog shit comic being spammed on *eddit was a good reason to leave that shithole

[–] [email protected] 83 points 1 week ago (11 children)

You’re welcome to make your own comic if you think you can do better.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

now now. that's just a stupid stance to take. you don't have to make media to be critical of it.

or do you have to make a podcast to say joe rogan's slop is toxic, diseased, and damaging to society?

[–] [email protected] 71 points 1 week ago

"This is a dog shit comic" is not a critique, though, is the thing. It's just jerking off in public.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 week ago (6 children)

You’re right of course! But also there’s a big difference between real criticism and just saying something is “dogshit”. In fact you criticized Joe Rogan’s stuff properly, by drawing attention to the negative effects it has on people. We could go even further and pick out specific cases. (Though there’s no need to in this case, I agree with you.)

On the other hand, shitting on something with no reasoning just makes you a hater. I work with several comic artists professionally, and a common thing they ALL see is a nontrivial percentage of commenters who simply disparage everything. This is not because the content is inherently bad, but because all these trolls can do is destroy, not create.

Why is it that everytime I see this artist nowadays it's just a preachy kill-a-strawman comic? I remember them being funny back in the day, what happened? Did they change, did I? Am I mistaking a shite copycat for an artist I remember fondly? Is this what senility feels like? How was your day?

Honestly if someone is referring to themselves as "high value" anything then it's pretty clearly a low value thought. Doesn't really matter who they are.

According to these commenters and bingo cards anyone who criticized this artist is an incel. To me she just makes mid borderline lame/cringe comics. Was happy not seeing her stuff after leaving Reddit lo and behold shes back with comics denoting imaginary scenarios without any punchlines. Go ahead and check a bingo square and call me an incel her work sucks.
