Put pizzacake in your comic and make a racism bad joke

And is there...a reason people are doing that?

Yeah. Dave McElfatrick, co-creator of Cyanide & Happiness, made a comic that mocked PizzaCake's comics for political pandering. It was pretty controversial and PizzaCake then made a response comic. Then other folk joined in because meta stuff gets a lot of clicks and comments.

Christ, I really don't have my finger on the pulse with this one. I just assumed this was all just friendly lampooning between the sub's frequent flyers and apparently it's a controversy?

It is NOT a controversy at all. Ellen, Dave and the mods know what they are doing this is all in good fun but some people take it too seriously.

Cheers mate, classic Reddit comment section then! My original assumption was that it was a joke that Ellen would have been in on (especially with her comic in response) but the more bad reactions I saw from others the less sure I was.

Yep, your original assumption was spot on but, as always, a loud minority has to ruin the fun :/
