Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,

πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
Web of Links

MODERATORS
Can you actually point to the discrimination and fascism being posted here? You keep having to rely on hypotheticals and unrelated situations as your argument and have yet to make a single reference to the actual situation occurring here, all while acting like we're somehow pro-Nazi or pro-slavery if we don't automatically conform to your viewpoint.
https://lemmy.world/post/45557825
Here's an example.
https://lemmy.world/post/45513297
Here's another.
This user in particular is one of the main issues of this community, most of their posts are like that.
But I know that you're just asking for an example to try to attack it, and there's not really any point, because if you don't see the problem from that link, a conversation cannot do enough.
Oh, you know that do you? There's no point in devoting a single word in any of your dozen+ comments here to explain a position that you apparently feel so strongly about, while calling others "Nazis" for not automatically siding with you and your moral righteousness
Apparently you don't see the problem either since you can't seem to articulate it even once. You seem entirely reliant on logical fallacies, Nazis, and fascism to manipulate others into falling in line with whatever feeling you happen to be feeling about something. This is the same toxic bullshit that gave us things like the Satanic panic and the drug war and it's incredibly gross.
So I have to spell out for you that showing people fighting sexism as people who do not know what they want and just complain about everything, or that showing a woman as a weird primitive monkey as soon as she doesn't talk nicely and politely, is a problem?
You're just proving my point exactly, continue sealioning as much as you want
Oh you're fighting sexism? So why have all your analogies been about Nazis, racism, bigotry, and fascism up until this point? This is literally the first time you've mentioned it after commenting here all day.
Frankly, it seems like you don't know what you're angry about, just that you're angry and everyone else better fall in line or face your wrath. You saw something you don't like, overreacted on some moral crusade, and now want to retroactively apply some justification to legitimize it.
Remember this all began with me saying I didnt really care either way what happens to users like him, and you telling me that I was "supporting bigotry" and implied I'm a nazi supporter? Now that I finally dragged an actual statement out of you, it turns out it's really just about some horny dude depicting too much of the female body in his drawings. That's what you've been comparing to the genocide of millions of people and hundreds of years of enslavement of another people all day. π
Okay, I can't believe I have to even explain that.
Misogyny is about discriminating against women. Racism is about discriminating based on "race". Xenophobia is about discriminating based on nationality/origin.
All of those are forms of discrimination. They're all bigotry. And they're all related in modern times to fascism, yes. And if you don't agree, then you're obviously bullshitting because there is no way you would have missed how discrimination has evolved over the past decades, with people that would have used the same rhetoric as you back then, now doing nazi salutes, committing genocide and exterminating minorities.
If you don't see the link - well, then you do, but you're full of shit. Once again, sealioning.
