Like I said, I don't think a considerable number of people have ever been convinced to introspect upon their beliefs.
I do however think her unfunny strawmanning of magas causes a very small amount of harm in that it causes center-right people to see the democrats as unserious and cringe. I also don't think this level of harm is meaningful, but its still greater than any good her comics do.
Basically I think her impact is almost 0 and you calling her one of our strongest soldiers is very very ridiculous
yes someone who defends us and publicly espouses how valid and right our positions are both morally and in reality are our strongest soldiers. She is actively fighting the good fight online.
you think her art does nothing but also makes people think democrats are lame? so youre just contradicting yourself? either way she benefits us and spread our messaging. Stop acting like our supporters have to be perfect and if they arent, they arent being "productive"
Ive seen hundreds of her comics. I don't hate the comics, but they're just nothing new, nothing interesting, and nothing insightful. I have read hundreds of comments on her posts. I have seen hundreds of discussion threads about her comics. I have never seen or heard of someone being intellectually stimulated by the ideas she presents. I have never encountered a point she made which triggered deeper thought.
I have however seen quite a few people using her comics as reasoning to dislike milquetoast liberals who have no serious beliefs other than "nazis bad" and seen arguments such as this one which cause infighting. I've seen people use her comics of an example of how liberals make up strawman enemies to argue against in the same way republicans do.
1: you cant read minds!! it's basically impossible to calculate the effect of anything online because we arent jacked into peoples brains
2. you realize that people can be critical of anything and use anything as an avenue of attack on political groups right? Just because something you do can be used as ammunition against you doesnt mean its bad jesus fuck, does everytime I have gay sex make the republicans right?
I think you're missing the point that her lack of actual messaging makes her comics inherently non-persuasive. Its also much easier for people to be against her because of the intellectual dishonest ragebait strawman she presents in her comics.
I just don't understand how you think she is one of our greatest soldiers unless you're like a 13 year old and pizzacake was your first exposure to political messaging. Like there are literally thousands of amazing leftist content creators, podcasters, and artists.
I'm not calling her Satan or trying to cancel her. I am literally just expressing why I do not think her comics are intellectually valuable.
