    you can do both, I don't like this artist because they lazy and uninspired but and I don't like nazis for obvious reasons. you can do both and not be beholden to others self righteous nonsense.

    edit: watching a number of you throw a shit fit over me saying both suck sort of reinforce the "Not be beholden to others self righteous nonsense" mindset quite a bit lul.

    I seriously don't understand the hate. You hate her because she's lazy? Why don't you just... not interact with her content then?

    Did they revise their comment? I'm reading "don't like," not hate.

    People not liking an artist is sort of how things work.

    Yeah, I don't really care about "not liking them", but they specifically said "hate", which I find to be a little much.

    Why don’t you just… not interact with her content then?

    Because it's spammed everywhere? I could block the artist account, but this unfunny shit is reposted ad nauseam in multiple communities. It's not like there's a giant red button one can press to stop seeing specific content everywhere.

    The art style is recognizable. Seems easier to me to recognize the art, not bother reading it, and scroll to the next post, than it would be to go into the post to tell everyone engaging with the political cartoon that you don't like political cartoons.

    If I see a post about sports I don't go into the comments to tell everyone there I don't care for sorts, because the people in that comment section do not care.

    OMG can you imagine if people did that though? β€˜This person posted about the Dodgers! I hate the Dodgers! I demand that nobody post anything about them ever because I don’t want to see it!’

    So just scroll on by. You chose to open up the comment section for the comic. Nobody made you do that.

    So what made you stop? You're joining the circle jerk of praise, or you're furious that some of us aren't on board, and you're going to tell us all to go outside?

    I stopped because I don't have a hatred of these comics, and I was interested in the comments.

    I'm not doing either of those things. There's no way to read my comment and get to either of those two conclusions without making something up out of thin air.

    Define "fury". I feel like I'm being relatively conversational, we just disagree on something. I'm not calling you slurs, or making assumptions of your character. I'm simply responding to people who are responding to me at this point, with a few minor exceptions.

    If I were to make any kind of judgement it would be that a lot of you don't really know how this is supposed to work. For too many, and maybe you included, discourse in social media means you have to completely agree with something, or else remain silent. You've been swatting at trolls so long you don't know the difference. This has the unfortunate side effect of creating echo chambers, and these little praise parties.

    Edit: actually, overlooking my comment to you, maybe I was 😬 oops. I'm probably getting a little swept up in this too -- anyway, you still stopped, the same as I did. Should I be obligated to say something nice about the content, or nothing at all? So the conclusion is still the same.

    I like comics. I like 4 panel comics on social media. I am not US citizen. I am not willing to see only policital comics. I don't want to see extrapolated political comics. I come in the comics sub to get away from politics.

    Unfortunately, all pizzacake does is political comics. Or at the very least most popular ones that got pushed up the feed. Hence I don't enjoy her content.

    There is a reason why many left non-political subs like r/pics, r/crazyfuckingvideos, r/publicfreakout or r/adviceanimals. These subs not supposed to be politically locked echo chambers. But now they are.

    If I want to keep up with politics, I'll go to politics communities, subs and news outlets. Blasting US politics out of every corner gets annoying quite fast.

    So you want an echo chamber? Or a circle jerk? I mean, if you want quiet you can put away the phone and just go outside and do stuff. That's typically not as contentious. Boring even.

    Yes, this is why places like Ml will ban you for pointing out historical facts.

    Which I don't get. If they want something to constantly agree with them, and absolutely love the things they love then just chat at ChatGPT. It'll shine that bottom better than any human will.

    We're particular and become disagreeable after a time.

    I get the impression this is more about harassing the creator than just not being a fan of the comics.

    Well they are the subject of this convo, on this thread, a lot of people don't like the artist for many less obvious and specific reasons then the obvious violent and exclusionary reasons fascists and far right are disliked so I personally didn't feel like that needed explaining. But I don't like the artist all that much for the stated reasons.

    Is it more likely that a person is a Nazi, or that you're conventionally unattractive? πŸ€”

    There are a lot of Nazis, but there are way WAY more ugly people before you get too smarmy about it.

    I'm sure many people will think you are stunning and brave though and you should hang out with them instead, but the fact remains.

    Edit:

    Oh no! Some people are stupid, some people are ugly, and some people are Nazis. And on Lemmy you're way more likely to find the first two, that's just how it is. Shine up your personality and practice your multiplication tables.

    Edit 2:

    I didn't actually open and read the comic and sub comic of this comic until now, but the fact remains: ugly people exist and for some reason I can't escape the blandness of pizzacake..

    Actually I'd rather just leave it; still true.

    The thing is, people don't blow up on other people for being ugly. People do blow up on other people for calling out their unacceptable behavior, though. This person's looks aren't what they're upset about, it's just a socially acceptable reason they can use to vent their frustration about being called out for something else.

    That could well be. I find this comic style annoying and I tried to block it but it is inescapable. I'm not trying to scrutinize it because then I have to look at it.

    way WAY more ugly people

    This is objectively false because beauty/ugly is not a linear scale.

    If it were a linear scale then 50% of people would be ugly and 50% would be beautiful. If it's a scale with two axes, then 25% would be ugly, and 75% would be beautiful to somebody.

    And beauty has way more than two scales. Some can be funny and be attractive, they can be pretty and be attractive, they could be caring and be attractive. The list goes on and on.

    And what ends up being the case is that the vast majority of people are beautiful, to someone. Except for the dumb fucks that think that others are ugly. They're beautiful to nobody.

    Wow. Deep.

    It's actually not. People who are brilliant in one topic could be easily stupid in another. Picasso couldn't do calculus. Fish can't climb trees.

    It's very rare to find an actual stupid person. Uneducated, sure. Ignorant, you betcha. But to be actually stupid across the board, you either need to have a real genetic deficiency, or be stubborn in your ignorance.

    And I found that people who think others are stupid very often do so because they are ignorant themselves about the multiple types of intelligence.

    How does the fishes inability to climb trees make them stupid?

    It's a reference to measures of intelligence sometimes being poorly thought out. Imagine if a monkey society came up with a basic competencies list. Among the list would probably be the ability to climb a tree. Now imagine if the monkey society tested a fish according to their competencies list. The fishwould be deemed lacking due to their inability to climb a tree.

    It's the same thing with asking a painter to measure the stars or asking a manager to do middle school-level math.

    I have my suspicions that you might be 2/3 of these things...

    You can think whatever you want, internet rando, so long as you aren't deluded about it. Though delusion seems to be a fairly common position.

    Edit: Actually you're welcome to be deluded too. But it by no means makes you right or your opinion any more valuable 🀷. I suspect you're at least one.
