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]

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.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
- GPrime85
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)

No. That's not the only reason. I'll break it down:
So you have a folding, pocket wallet. Not necessarily a thing that shows gender, but the 2 condom imprints is something to take note of. On top of that, a trans ftm would still have little need for a condom. If they want to be tom-boyish, then they might carry a condom, but it also depends on their stage of transition if they choose to have a transition that way or not. A mtf trans might need a condom, but not stereotyped in carrying them in their fold wallet. A lesbian might carry a fold wallet, but why do they need a condom? A man (straight or gay) will have the most need for a condom in their fold wallet making them the most logical response to be a naturally born male carrying a condom. So sticking with the evidence of a condom in the wallet, I can begin to break everything else down.
The person I originally spoke with is young and had an appreciation for 80s tech (that explains their watch) carrying a hankerchief is weird, but I'll assume that makes them modern hipsters. Carrying a pen with you everywhere? Well that just makes you a nerd and almost (potentially) deliberately going against the ebb and flow. Granted i don't believe there's anything wrong with that, but all signs point towards that the person I was originally speaking with is either a naturally born male that is a hipster and nerd (which tells me a lot about their idea of feminism) or a previously transitioned male (which, and this is IMO, you've lost your right to speak for the gender you transitioned from and should begin representing the gender you have or are transitioning to). I can keep going if you're interested
Wow.
Nobody's interested. Lol
Wow. You found relevance on the internet because you can't find it in your personal offline life.
Umm...what? It took you this long to come up with a reply, and this is the best you got? Seriously??
I'm not sure if this is funny or just fucking sad...
Oh sorry. My personal life is more important than your opinion. Sorry if you've been told otherwise
Wow. All that and you didn't even see the part where I say it's a quarter to like six different people. Jesus Christ you're fucking exhausting. "Man" is a complicated label for me. I'm male. I'm more masculinely aligned than feminine. But I'm also currently on estrogen and testosterone blockers. I don't specify in part because it's personal and messy and I didn't see the relevance.
Also IT DOESNT FUCKING MATTER. I'm allowed to criticize the behaviour of fictional characters regardless of being amab and my critisism is fundamentally not about his being a man or her being a woman. Do you always go around being an insufferable jackass to people based on literally nothing but your assumptions about them?
Christ man, why be like this when you could be literally any other way? I don't deserve the weird and unpleasant way you've engaged with me.
So you're allowed to criticized fictional characters, but I'm not allowed to criticize your fictional criticisms?
no one should be keeping a condom in their wallet. It reduces effectiveness.
Not the point of your tirade, but for anyone else misguided enough to read this far.
They're quarters. I told people as much in the same thread they're referencing, because someone very politely made the same point that you are, that it's not good to store condoms in your wallet. They just didn't bother to read the multitude of different times I said they were quarters in the comments.
They're for getting a cart at Aldi when I go grocery shopping.
Don't wear yourself out with those mental gymnastics. We don't need an entire essay mansplaining your thought process. I'm glad your intentions are pure but the fact remains. You are being bigoted so just stop. Don't tell us why it's ok for you to say bigoted things because you mean something different in your head. Just stop saying them.
Yikes bud
