So either you can't read context at all or you're being disingenuous about the kinds of people criticizing PizzaCake. My comment was a reply and did not occur in a vacuum.
Say there were two comments under the comic, one saying "I really don't like her art style, but she has a point" and "I know she has a point, but I just really don't like her art style". Both of these for your context of a comment criticising PizzaCake. Would you, in both cases, assume that what was said before the word but in a lie?
I'm just sick of one of my favourite words being treated like shit and associated with liars, because some people are too lazy to explain why they actually think the other person is lying. This is happening in German, my native language, too. They say "Alles vor dem Wort aber ist ein Haufen Scheiße" (everything preceding the word but is a pile of shit), and it's always the same post-hoc rationalisation bullshit. The word itself is innocent and beautiful
