The fun of the bandwagon.

Yeah I found it there too. I think I was there for the start of all the drama. I didn’t find the way she handled the the whole thing appealing either but I saw some of the initial harassment and the bans from the mods that followed. I think the bans were appropriate for the harassment. The thing I noticed that followed that was a bunch of sock puppet accounts that would show up and post the “not funny” comments. That was all they posted. Eventually people caught on to that and many of those got banned too but the pattern was carried on by others. I don’t fault her for not reacting gently to people who’s only contribution is to show up in her posts to tell her that she isn’t funny. What’s the point of an interaction like that? Also that it exactly echoed the sock puppet accounts always felt suspicious. It seemed to me that the normal reaction to a comic that doesn’t appeal is to be disinterested and scroll on. That is what I see for most comics that just don’t cut it, tumbleweeds in the comments. The compulsion to post about not liking it so consistently in her comics seems unique.

I just find it odd that some people are so compelled to comment or join in on the comments for just pizzacake comics.

Ah you misunderstood. There are some people that comment positively in comics that they like and some that comment negatively in comics they don’t like and some that do both. The thing that is weird to me is that, seemingly unique to this comic, there are people that feel they have to say that “it’s not funny” just for pizzacake. This group is different from the group that comments negatively in comics in general. They don’t leave comments, positive or negative, for any other comics.

Now if you make the habit of going into other comic posts that you don’t care for and leave your criticism on those posts then you fall into the non-anomalous group that has consistent behavior. If you have any pattern of leaving commentary on the quality of comics then you don’t fall into the group I’m talking about really. But if you only comment about comics on just pizzacake posts to just say they are not funny then the shoe might fit.

Did you express approval or disapproval for other comics in other posts?

Then why did you reply with positive comments about unrelated comics?

Do you do that in the posts for those comics ?

The guys that push this story always leave out the loads of overt harassment that she did receive too.

It always strikes me as anomalous that there are some that feel compelled to comment that pizzacake isn’t funny but don’t bother expressing approval or disapproval of any other comics
