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.

Cope and seethe women!
What is up with the influx of misogynistic rhetoric on Lemmy lately? We don’t support that here.
Do you reject with equal vehemence the rhetoric advocating for violence in the comic in the last panel?
What do you think she is suggesting we burn? Hint: it’s not men.
So it's okay for her to advocate violence so long as it isn't specific to men?
What’s the difference between this and the “kill it with fire” meme that’s been floating around for years? Have we really reached such a low point in public literacy that the use of hyperbole in a comic strip requires a disclaimer?
Exactly. While I get that it's not exactly the same, it seems roughly as weird to make a big deal of accusing @nandeEbisu of being misogynistic as it would be to accuse the comic artist of being violent.
Its tongue in cheeck. Of all the inequalities between women and men this is super low on the list. Have you heard how actual misogynists speak?
“Haha I was just kidding” is precisely what people say when called out on insults like this.
It’s not funny, and yes, it’s exactly the type of things misogynists say.
Funny how when there’s a thread about misogyny on Lemmy, the comments are full of guys chiming in about “never seeing it.” But when someone points out problematic comments in real time, the downvote ratio is always wack.
Which means guys are seeing it. Which makes it hard not to assume that, for many, the ignorance is willful.
Alternatively, maybe it's just that we don't see this particular comment, which is about underwear, as being a big deal? And you insist that we just take it as given that it is misogynistic because you say so, and accuse us as being willfully ignorant when we disagree, rather than doing anything on your part to convince us otherwise?
The person who did the most good is actually @y0lai, who actually took a moment to explain why the comment did not translate well, but acknowledged that the intent has been to be satirical. That is the only comment I read that made me think, "Okay, you have a good point."
If someone is unironically basing a sense of gender superiority on having pockets I feel bad for them.
honestly, among other things, they say things like "cope and seethe" lmao
I get that you were being satirical but it didn't translate well to me either haha
Thanks, I appreciate you starting from the understanding that their intent was to be satirical and then explaining why it did not translate well, rather than just loudly accusing them of being misogynistic. Yours is the only comment that reached my brain rather than causing it to reflexively react.
