        The bad ones. That are obviously botted. This shit would always be at the top of the page on Reddit. And it’s never funny.

          I’m not sure I follow. This doesn’t seem “obviously botted” to me. Is it not possible that different people find different things funny and we don’t all share one common sense of humor?

          (Or, I suppose, that comic strips can have value beyond humor.)

            Some people don’t think about how they feel and invent reasons or stories to explain their illogical reactions like hating a particular artist’s style or something. They’re afraid that they don’t have a good reason to dislike something popular so they invent justifications.

          Are you just saying you don’t like pizzacake comics? She’s a real person, not a bot, her comics are popular. It’s okay to just not like a particular artist or creator. Just be honest about it.

          edit: reminder people, your brain invents stories to explain how you feel, and most people never question these stories because they think if their own brains are thinking things, it MUST be true, and they think that brains are logical tools for figuring out the world.

          NO, your brain is a tool for storytelling, nothing more. It tells you stories to explain how you feel, and it has no obligation to tell stories that make a lick of sense. This is why you get depressed and ruminate and the feelings get worse. This is why people live their whole lives in a belief system that harms them. Understand how your brain works and you won’t be like this user here, flinging out weak, nonsense arguments to explain not liking a popular thing.
