Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
You seem to be attributing additional meaning to the word "forcing" in this context. It's simply the act of inserting something where it doesn't belong or doesn't quite work, i.e. not forcing it upon the reader's brain (or beaming it into their skull), but forcing it into the sentence. It's the same construction that you would use when saying "forcing a square peg into a round hole".
It's not a character in the modern English alphabet and is only used nowadays in Icelandic, so I think "forcing" is totally appropriate.
