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.

- 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.

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

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
Here's an index of European noble houses, which includes knights alongside other members of the nobility.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:European_noble_families
Neat! How many of those are women in medieval armor?
Just, you know, women were not eligible for knighthood throughout medieval times.
Is this you arguing that female knights were as common as male knights? I'm just checking what we're arguing here exactly.
If so, how many female warriors at all took part in:
A) The Napoleonic wars
B) Alexander the Great's conquest
C) The Battle of Kadesh
Are we arguing that women were always as violent as men and were never excluded or subsumed in society since the dawn of literally "man"? Is that what we're doing?
Imagine being this offended by a drawing of a woman in historically accurate armor
For real. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
Yes, I am offended. Thoroughly offended. How dare you?!
Still waiting for an answer tho.
Dude, you've got a screw loose.
That's a fucked up thing to say.
You're coming off as really unhinged. Like, "I'm really worried about this person" unhinged.
Oh, yeah! Well, YOU are!
Coming back four days later to drop a second reply to a comment is not making me less concerned about your mental health.
You know people commit suicide over remarks like that, right? You shouldn't be throwing that stuff around so lightly.
Why would you pretend to be an incel. There's much more satisfying ways to troll that doesn't inherently make you look down on yourself. It's almost like a form of self harm.
Save me from myself, I know that you have the moral high ground!
If anyone feels that way about comments on the internet they need professional help.
That's not an insult, it's a fact. Do whatever you have to do and talk to someone.
"It's up to me to judge who is suicidal or not. When I disagree, I can egg them on like the best'ofem! Otherwise, well in pace requiescat, motherfucker."
Oh god, my offense! It is limitless! Someone report me to the mods!
... The fuck?
You seem really offended that women were underrepresented in historical conflicts. You're going to have a hard time finding anyone who says otherwise.
What I am saying is that women have worn armor (even for non-ceremonial purposes) at a few points in history.
At the end of the day, you're the one getting butthurt about a comic on the internet.
Yes, I am offended that more women were not knighted and partook in the most violent battles in history!
Now what I am saying, from start to finish= I made a stupid joke, albeit historically correct, that the one other improbable thing about the image, apart from the naiads, was that there is a woman in armor.
That is it. Let me help you:
Descriptive statement = the sky is blue
Prescriptive statement = blue is ugly
See, I described something, stated a fact, and you are the one who took offense, you and presumably most other women here, because all you ever hear is the word "woman" and regardless what one says you're like a kerberos gatekeeper growling at it because you're just so ready to fight inequality at every turn, to the point where you can't allow facts to stand on their own.
Are you equally offended by these statements:
A) Men are on average taller than women
B) Women on average live longer than men
C) Men are more violent than women. On average.
?
That's what makes this funny to me, the fact how that you are so attached to labels that you will never accept any reality contrary to it.
Now if you just calm down, we can discuss it if you would like. Would you? Or are arbitrary judgments more your thing?
I really don’t understand the point of this whole argument.
You wanted to point out how a woman in a knight’s armor is, historically, statistically improbable. Ok.
What did the other comments want to achieve? No one, at any point, argued that female knights were a common occurrence.
I don't know. What does it say in those comments? I sure as fuck didn't say anything else, until someone came along and tried to correct me with extreme outliers.
So you tell me, I have no idea what the argument is about myself, I have asked previously to have that determined, but got called names instead so I'm not sure what's up or down here.
Then I don’t understand what your point is.
If you were trying to say that women in an armor were extremely uncommon, then comments about some of them existing should just reinforce your claim, they were so rare that you could probably list them all.
If you were arguing in absolutes instead, saying that at no point in history a woman has ever worn an armor, then bringing outliers to the discussion is a legitimate correction, since even a single one existing breaks the absolute.
In both of those cases, you asking for a second woman in armor or ten thousand male knights are non-sequiturs, because them existing or not doesn’t change anything in the previous statements. So one has to guess your point is neither of those, but a third one instead, which I really didn’t understand.
If I have to guess, the “argument” about you is that no one really understood the point of your comments, so they’re arguing with you about what they think you mean. Which is wrong, of course, but you should clarify that if you want to have a meaningful discussion. Making sarcastic comments doesn’t help clear up things.
Five people upvoted you without reading what you said. That's my problem.
>Complains about people not answering his questions and belittling him
>Proceeds to not answer questions and belittle others
I mean, I tried to put good will in it but it seems it was pointless.
Buddy, meds. Now.
Now you're straight up bullying me. That's not cool.
It's not bullying, I'm not trying to insult you. At this point based on your other comment mentioning suicide I'm genuinely concerned for your mental health and physical well-being.
Victim: "They ganged up on me because they didn't like what I said!"
Bullies: "Nuh uh, she started it, and she called our mothers fat hairy cum guzzling prostitute hog fuckmunchers! Swer on me mums!"
See, it's ok when you do it, and you know that, and I know that you know that I know that. You fucking psychopath.
Get help. Please. You are not well.
