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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

You can use real scenarios as fear porn by hyper focusing on them, far beyond what's reasonable, and to the exclusion of everything else.
You're treading a fine line with that logic claiming that news like this is designed to neg women into being constantly afraid.
If making people aware of dangerous situations is a good thing, then being aware of how media can be used maliciously is also a good lesson.
Sure. But painting women as completely beholden to the news to the point that they're negged into paranoia and abusive relationships is blatantly over representing the problem.
Well you're just completely misrepresenting what I've said there.
I'm using your words, in your phrasing. If I'm misrepresenting what you said, then you might want to reexamine what you said.
You should read it more carefully. I'm speaking about the motives of those who spread fear porn, not the aptitude of women as a whole.
Ok, and claiming that news pertaining to the rape and murder of women by men who were spurned is manipulative is better in what way?
Painting news organizations as having the overall goal of negging women into paranoia and abusive relationships doesn't even make sense. If anything, their goal would be clicks, not sewing chaos in that way.
And anyway, insinuating that the problem in the original post is the news fear mongering to condition women, and not the pervasive problem of violent men assaulting women, is itself insulting to women. Which is the point I was originally making.
