I can’t really make an argument against that, considering that I stopped reading it years ago. Although I’ll deflect blame and say that was due to my rss reader of choice being killed (google reader), so I stopped reading webcomics in general about that time.
I can understand why people might not like it. In effect, it’s a sitcom with a gimmick, and there’s tons of those on television (I actively despise all of them). I’ll defend questionable content though because it has a setting and cast of characters that I’ve become invested in. However, I can see what it is, and I understand that it’s not for everyone.
However, however, CONTEXT, specifically this conversation. People are allegedly hating on Jeph Jacques over on /r/questionablecontent just as hard as people are hating on pzzacake here. And to that I reiterate: fucking why?
Just looked at the comic for the first time in years, and I am massively impressed by how his artistic skills have improved. Look at the current page vs page 1. If I didn’t know better, I would not believe that it was done by the same person.
Maybe people just got sick of seeing it posted? I’d never actively seek out a Pizzacake comic, but I do point out the many shortcomings when they show up here.
They could have blocked the sub instead of commenting every day and harassing the separate QC-sub that actually liked the comic. In contrast to Lemmy, on Reddit it’s actually really easy to block comics you don’t like, because they were usually posted to their own subs (and possibly even by a separate user, sometimes even the creator themselves like the Extra Fabulous guy) instead of a general sub/community like c/comicstrips.
Hate is a strong word, but it wasn’t really that interesting after a while.

edit: it helps if I do words in the right order.
Soap opera in comic form is exactly how I thought about the comic after a while. But yes, actively hating it is a bit harsh.

That’s a valid opinion. Really doesn’t explain the hate-readers, though.

In that case, I have no idea.
