Rules
-
😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
🏘️ 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.
-
🧬 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.
-
📽️ 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!
-
📋 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.,
✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
📬 Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) 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 🖐) will be removed.
-
🏴☠️ 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.,
Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
- 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.,

🍿 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.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
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)

MODERATORS
He is, as a flaming racist he is embarrassed to be attracted to colored women, and tries to hide it. 🤣🤣
PS:
I know he just doesn't want colored people to have more children.
But the other way is funny too IMO.
You mean "people of colour"? "Coloured people" is a racist term.
You're getting hammered pretty hard on the votes, but you are generally correct. I would not advise you try calling a Black person "coloured" in 2026. POC, or just flat out Black, is the more accepted term today. The point of POC is that it emphasizes the personhood over the colour aspect.

For those who never watch it don't context
Spoiler
Larry was helping a black family who also ironically had the last name "Black" and they were staying at his house until they found another place to live.During that time he couldn't invite his date over because there was zero privacy with so many people.
The doctor had similar issue as her family was also staying over at her place.
The NAACP never changed their name, so I assumed the term just fell out of use, but wasn’t necessarily offensive.
I've always thought either were silly - it implies that 'white' isn't a color. Even if you say 'white is the absence of color' that itself is a color.
'hey Bill, what did you paint your fence as' 'I painted it not a color' 'ah, quite basic, no?'
People usually don't care consider white to be a colour. You wouldn't call a white wall colourful, would you?
Eh, it's not 'vibrant' or 'pops' but it's okay. Neutral can be a nice color.
The absence of colour is not a colour.
That said, white people are generally actually various shades of pinky beige, black people are generally various shades of brown, but our language uses colour-based terminology to refer to ethnicity anyway.
Complaining that white is a colour, so whites should be included as coloured people, is kind of silly in that context.
Especially if you remember that the term "coloured people" originated as a way to stop people who had black and white heritage from getting any of the benefits of their whiteness.
It's not 'I want to be included too' but like, the entire thing is silly. We are all some shade of a color. To single out a group and call them 'colored' when we literally all are is just, wat.
I mean it's not like the people who were at the helm of racism were particularly intelligent, but like come on. It's almost comical how smooth-brained they were (are). If I pulled out a pack of crayons and pointed to the white one, their worldview may implode.
I definitely agree that the whole racism thing is absolutely stupid. A whole kingdom of cruelties based on nothing important.
