It was some dumb "if men were treated like women" comic.
The real controversey started with the bans. The top comment was a male survivor, who got banned. Pizzacake was waging wars in the comments, and mods where banning harmless stuff.
She's been able to paint over it by calling her haters incels and silencing her critics with legal action, but it's pretty dishonest if you just read her responses and messages.
Due to disagreements with Pizzacake Comics she no longer wants her works to be posted to this subreddit with threat of legal action.
Rules regarding harrassment are still in effect, do not harrass Pizzacake regarding this decision. Meta posts and BHJ regarding this will be removed for related reasons. Users found violating this may face bans depending on severity of offenses.
I guess the question is: why does she feel the need to threaten people with legal actions over responses to comics?
Thanks, I found it. What I understood from going through some of her downvoted content and from the links you shared was that people were posting her (paid) patron content and her (presumably also paid) nudes. I've admittedly got very little history on all of this so maybe I'm missing something but it seems understandable that artists wouldn't want their paid content re-posted, and I've seen other artists be upset about the same. I think people should respect that regardless of whether they think the artist is good or not.

Normally, I'm the first to take the piss out of her, but this is an extremely reasonable thing for her to say.
I wonder if OP has taken the comic out of context?
It was an "apology" comic of sorts, after the previous one, about how men have it easy, ...drew widespread criticism that she took very, very badly.

So basically made under duress? Yeah, that makes sense.
Lord knows she wouldn't show empathy towards men voluntarily.

men have it easy
Neither has it easy. Life sucks for most people.

The timing seems to scream: “but you see, it's ok that I shared an affair with you know who.”
The fuck have you been smoking?

Maybe I'm off but.. they do make you weak, right?
And we don't just let emotions happen sometimes, we should acknowledge they are always there to one degree or another. There may be times when having a brave face is what is needed, but for most people most of the time, it isn't
So, the real takeaway should be "you don't need to be strong all the time, in fact, you can't"
This really isn't that profound as a man-to-man interaction. True friends are supportive. The big problem is when you show emotional sensitivity to a romantic partner. Too many men have been met with "the ick" when they open up to women.

Love this.
And I got here before the pizzacake hateclub? Will wonders never cease.
Laziest apology comic ever. Didn't even think of anything witty or mildly funny.

I think you're misunderstanding/I'm not explaining well.
Accessing emotions is hard for a lot of us because we've been trained to clam up. But without that external factor, it wouldn't be.
But when we do actually do it, it now takes effort and strength when it probably shouldn't.
But the physical loss of control when, for example, crying, makes us physically vulnerable as well as emotionally.
I can see why times in history, having v people be scared and breaking down would jeopardize themselves or others. But we've magnified that, or lost the nuance.
Crying or raging or withdrawing in camp is safe, on a hunt or while driving a truck is the exception not the rule.
I wonder if this is a modern human problem or just a human problem
Maybe. In my experience showing certain emotions as a man at all can be ridiculed or seen as weakness - which is what I was referring to in my comment.
Allowing yourself (as you say) to be overwhelmed by emotion can definitely leave you weak/physically vulnerable - but the weakness here is not the emotions themselves but rather the lack of control.

I did that once. Felt good. Still feels yucky though, with how deep this is ingrained into my brain.
If anything, I'm able to see how much of self-imposed harmful stuff I've been trained to consider not only normal, but a necessity. I believe there was no malice in the people that pushed these things/beliefs onto me, but being conscious of them is a good first step to differentiate with what to keep and what to let go. Even if I can't fix myself, I can at least try not to push these onto others, should the occasion rise.
