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.

Sometimes I am accidentally (slightly) racist or sexist and don't realize it. Just because I was raised in a family that was pretty disconnected from society. I always appriciate it if someone pioints it out to me in a civilized manner instead of the usual "nazi" or "fucking whitetrash asshole". Insults don't make me want to change my mistake.
What are you saying to be regularly called a Nazi?
I'm not always sure, it doesn't happen weekly or even monthly, but sometimes it sticks. Maybe I have a tendency to overanalyze things where the topic is a subject of emotion. Maybe I just shouldn't mingle myself in certain topics like gender or politics. Anyways, I'm sure it's me, but if it keeps happening and I can't find out how to change myself, than I slowly turn into a Seymour Skinner i.e. "Is it me? Nah, it's them"
The same thing happened to me when I was young. Once or twice, I asked a chain of questions that sounded an awful lot like sealioning. I've not been called a fascist more than twice, but it fucking hurts so it sticks with you.
I'm better now. Both less ignorant and very slightly more understanding of how I come across.
