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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

She made a comic on reddit about “if women talked to men the way men talk to women”
A bunch of people commented that they had personally heard women say one or more of those things
Everyone who made those comments was banned and muted
People made posts on other subreddits explaining what happened and were banned and muted from /r/comics even without having posted or commented in it
She and the mods of /r/comics doubled down on future posts
There are a number of Reddit refugees on Lemmy.
Then she threatened a subreddit with legal action for making fun of and parodying her comics. All around a toxic person
I was an artist online for years and eventually quit because of all the drama, and you don't escape it, if you're not constantly, aggressively preserving your IP, it WILL get used by others for whatever they want. I can dump boatloads of stories and links to artists who had their work used by everyone from other artists who painted over their art and claimed it, all the way to major corporations just plain stealing designs and characters.
Out of all the "toxic" creators, maybe we should bandwagon against actual shitty people and shitty artists. Ya'll have Stonetoss's twitter and socials, why not focus some of this smarmy better-than-thou armchair art-snobbery on an actual toxic nazi? Literally, the same site here broadly, Lemmy, that has on it's top trending posts, a "punching nazis" meme, does almost NOTHING to actually challenge real threats to our way of life when it's as easy as a targeted social media campaign. I guess that takes scaaary organizing though.
You're all manufacturing drama around this.
Or you're burying your head in the sand. How are people manufacturing drama when it's the comic creator who's threatening people with legal action over parodies of her comics?
I have a really hard time believing anyone cares about any of that or even has a source for truth. People are broadly taking cues from everyone else and enjoying hating a thing because it's fun to hate.
A simple google search would have shown you the receipts lol
I literally do not care if artists have scuffles about permission or whatever, every online artist has some tangled backstory because people are shitty and being online is a fight, that said we have so many ACTUAL fucking EVIL people out there trying to do ACTUAL bad things, it feels like this site is just full of people who can't access actual fascists and nazis so everyone piles onto the nearest "problematic ally" just because it's easier to tear someone down than go fight a real fight.
You keep pivoting lol, just say you enjoy garbage web comics that's fine
Also, you're blocked, you're not even remotely equipped to have a real discussion if you call any of what what said here "pivoting" just keep letting herd-mentality guide you, I'm sure it will always serve you well.
If you call that "keeps pivoting" you're really short on attention span, and maybe you need entertainment that doesn't require you to pay attention for more than three panels. That's probably where this cartoon lost you.
Your unhinged slew of comments all over here speaks volumes, thanks for blocking me?
