Plenty of reasons.
- The person is too young or too old or not attractive for some other such reason.
- They’re wearing a skirt/dress
- Don’t want to feel like a perv or make her feel uncomfortable.
I’m not trying to sound puritanical but there are good reasons to look elsewhere.
Many such examples.
Hey gotta let the free market do its thing /s

22·3 months agoI actually agree with her pro-women, pro-trans, liberal takes. My problem with her comics is they’re lazy. She’s just preaching to the choir.
This is evidenced by the fact that she never criticizes the Democratic Party. When Democrats do things that hurt everyday people – for example, when they vote to increase ICE funding, send more money to Israel, bail out corporations that are “too big to fail”, etcetra etcetera – someone with Pizzacake’s following has an opportunity to demonstrate their values by making a (less popular) comic. Instead, she just parrots viewpoints that her audience already agrees with. This is grifter behavior.

Doesn’t matter that the art is bad and the comics aren’t funny, people agree with the main point.
Beat me to it. I was going to ask whether any non-science fiction readers would know this famous opening line. IIRC, Gibson himself notes how the interpretation of the line changed with the change of technology.

There are a few lessons to be learned here if we’re objective enough.
Do people not known about the ACP (American “Communist” Party) branching off from the CPUSA and pushing for “patriotic socialism”? Do people agree with the ACP? Or is this getting downvotes because people don’t care about leftist spaces?

Well the billionaires own the media. Left wing media won’t even let their journalists be activists because this would “conflict with objectivity.” Meanwhile, right-wing media just parrot narratives (favorable to privatization / big business) and call every sensible progressive policy “woke”.
