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.

If I walk into a woman's apartment, and one of the first things I see is something like "can't handle me at worst", and I <3 Dylan, posters I am probably going to end the pursuit of this relationship. I would do this because I have seen this common thread with people who do this. That common thread is that they have personality disorders, or are otherwise unstable. Pattern recognition is a survival instinct. Pattern recognition can be wrong, but this isn't seeing faces in wood grain. This is seeing aspects of people's personalities that they, themselves, value to the point where they spent money to display it on their wall.
Beyond this specific situation, you know how many times I have seen "it's just memes" turn into "I am now in favor of an ethno state"? The average person to white supremacist/whatever pipeline created by the social influence of fora for "it's just memes/jokes" is real, I have watched it happen. Feel disaffected from society? Well I am here to ease you into the idea that it isn't your fault, it is the fault of women, and brown people, starting with some casual jokes, and memes.
