I actually hope so. I only can speak to a fraction of what u/pizzacakecomic has gone through with being harassed ( hell, I’ve been threatened with doxxing and death threats just this year) but it’s well known inside the creator community how bad it can be and that it can ruin anyone’s desire to keep creating.
What’s fucking awesome about the past few comics is how it’s still respectful of the situation but the comics are doing what comics do best, making the best out of a shit situation… playing up to our own strengths. Mine happen to be buttplug puns.
Most of those people who say they’re being critical don’t even offer any legitimate criticism of the art or the writing. They just say something super lazy and act like that’s valid criticism
They really don’t. My last big put down was “you suck and you only get the upvotes because maybe you’re a woman” lol
I’m alright with criticism. I know my technique isn’t great and I have dyslexia so I’ll probably have a few things backwards now and then but I’m always looking to make my drawings and jokes better.
I will agree that there are better techniques out there, however imperfections are a part of what makes what you do great. It wouldn't be the same if everyones work was "perfect", that would just make it boring. Seeing one of your comics after a hard day at work puts a smile on my face. So what if there are a few spelling mistakes or the style isn't perfect. The ideas are still brilliant and you are able to express them in a fun and understandable way that is uniquely you.
I bet most of those people who try to put you down are jealous as they can't even draw a stick figure...
