Do y'all have any justification besides hating something popular?

[–] linkhidalgogato@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

are other justifications needed? seeing the same shit in the same in the same style all the time gets boring regardless of any other factor.

When the response is 'mods should ban this artist's work,' absofuckinglutely more justification is needed. Kneejerk hatred for something popular is childish. Whining about it to others is performative sneering. Expecting authority to enforce a shallow contrarian opinion is just plain shitty.

Underlined in bold when half the complaints go 'We're not like that! Fuck this bitch!'

true but wanting people to stop posting something and asking the mods to ban it are different things, if that is what u got from the original comment that is an extremely... extreme reading of it. If that is the context u had in mind for ur comment i dont disagree but imma be honest i think u misread it.

The politest comment in a wave of kneejerk backlash is still part of that wave.

i havent seen any comment here calling for it to be banned.

There is not a single comment there asking for pizzacake to be banned.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's a report asking the mods to remove pizzacake comics for being pizzacake comics.

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It's a story that some random posted. Dude isn't even a mod here.

Even then, a single person abusing the report function isn't a genuine call for prohibition by anyone.

Edit: typo

literally not a comment calling for it to be banned. are u ok? do u know how to read? do u understand the meaning of words? u seem confused.

[–] Vespair@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

I never asked for mods to ban pizzacake, I asked the potential audience to practice a little bit of discernment in their tastes.

I think this is an important distinction, personally.

[–] MY_ANUS_IS_BLEEDING@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They're boring and lame, and they have a cultish following of people who defend them not because they are actually good, but because the artist receives abuse.

This comic is a prime example of it. Completely unfunny, unoriginal, strawman argument that achieves nothing more than making people argue with each other.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 months ago

The only arguing here is your cult of haters. Making the comic not a strawman. It's about you.

The answer to the question was evidently "no."
