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.

This isn't about me, it's about a shitty, abusive message being repeated constantly on social media. Thanks for pulling an imaginary biography for me out of your ass, though. Really helpful.
You very clearly see something about yourself in this message. Especially since you're being so reactionary about it. The fact that you're so upset about how certain women view men is your own problem. Not theirs.
"This harmful generalization is bad for society"
"Clearly you only feel that way because it actually describes you personally"
Not only is that an unfair assumption, it's also irrelevant to their claim.
Their claim is inherently irrelevant and reactionary. They were reactionary because they felt called out.
Again, you cannot assume that they chose to call it unfair simply as a self-defense mechanism. Imagine someone accused your family of being murderers, then said the only reason you would be upset by that is if you really did have murderous proclivities and felt self-conscious about it.
And frankly, even if that was their entire motivation for calling it unfair in the first place, it does not mean they are wrong.
I don't have to assume, it's literally proven by their comments. It's the same for you since you're all over this thread moaning about the fact that women dare be scared of men.
Also you're example is ridiculous and asinine. An actual example would be like if a white person was complaining of white discrimination on a post condemning systemic racism. The fact that you felt the need to say anything says everything I need to know about you or OP.
How can you think it's proven as the only reason for their objection? And why do you think I'm a threat to women? Just because we've both been saying it's bad that men have this unfortunate stereotype?
At best, you would still only have correlation implying causation. But seriously, nothing in these comments shows your accusations as reasonable, let alone true.
Because you're sealioning all over this thread. All because, again, a comic dared imply women are scared of men. I also never outright called you a threat, but given these comments you definitely are.
This is Lemmy so they're probably all the same person, worth keeping in mind.
