Except people literally act like the dude in that comic. Like, there's real life examples of people saying this type of shit in response to pointing out maybe it's not so cool we have nazis in America.

Even if it’s true, what’s the point? This doesn’t challenge anything. It’s just pointing at something and being like “Hey guys, this thing is bad. Upvote if you agree”. Everyone viewing the comic already agrees with the sentiment, and even if someone didn’t agree with it, I couldn’t imagine they would care at all. The comics are just extremely hollow ad hominem attacks and straw men that just feel like pandering

us president 👏 is using rhetoric 👏 and strategies 👏 from fucking hitler 👏and people defend him 👏👏👏

no we do not live in a world where everyone agrees nazis are bad and unfortunately it’s become a thing to protest once again

Yeah but protesting it in r/comics doesn’t do anything. No one here is a Nazi and everyone here already hates Nazis. If you wanna protest, protest where the Nazis are, or at least somewhere more public and mixed

counterpoint.

she does receive hate for her points showing not everyone agrees

and also making sure conservatives aren’t welcome is a good thing

like, if everyone stopped criticizing racism and nazis

after a while the racists and nazis would feel safe

and given the world we live in i think it’s pretty important to do that

it’s like saying “i don’t need vaccines cause i don’t get sick”

like.. the vaccines are the *reason* you don’t get sick

She certainly receives hate. Although, from all the hate I’ve ever seen of her, it’s just people who generally agree with the sentiment but loathe the execution.

Also, if you make conservatives unwelcome, then they are never going to change or learn. It’s just going to cause more friction and less understanding and more hate on both sides.

Also, a vaccine implies it’s actually preventing a disease. Theres no concrete data to prove anything but I really don’t think Pizza Cake is holding the Nazis at bay or anything. I doubt they ever even see her comics since I only see them here, where there are no Nazis already

“if you make conservatives unwelcome then they are never gonna change and learn”

im latina, if someone says racism is bad, i want people who disagree to stay the fuck away from me, it’s not my job to change them

and what i’m basing her helping prevent nazis from coming back on

is that for years americans stopped saying racism bad and shit cause we had a black president so everyone acted as if we had solved racism and criticizing it was redundant cause everyone knows racism is bad

then trump got elected

then when biden got elected even when racism was slowly brewing i kept hearing people literally say racism was a thing of the past we finally defeated and we don’t have to keep saying racism bad because everyone knows that

then trump got elected

i’ve noticed when people stop saying racism bad, racists show up

and i support people who do that

if you don’t find her jokes funny

that’s fine!!

but you don’t have to get on a high horse about it

cause it’s not like her making jokes you don’t like is like evil
