- 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.

Funny, that's how people who want change is portrayed by liberal media in real life, too.
I wonder if it's a coincidence?
It's possible that well intentioned extremists really are more likely to have a negative impact and not cause any positive change.
How many mass shooters have a manifesto? Often they're upset about how things are and feel like killing a bunch of people will change things. But they just wind up killing a bunch of people and don't influence anyone to do anything. Well other than copy cats who also just kill people.
In real life wanting change isn't bad. But using violence is bad and doesn't result in any positive change. The use of violence makes people feel helpless and so they want to see movies about heroes with superpowers that can take on violent extremists.
Just like Batman, eh?
So as long as your desire for change doesn't actually threaten the people at the top, it's all okay?
That is literally what the people creating this kind of propaganda wants you to believe.
Just like ba haha ha ha hahaha ha ha ha haha!
You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Batman has a principle of not killing people.
If you are so desperate to cling onto your favorite capitalist-parasite-by-day, fascist-vigilante-at-night wish-fulfillment fantasy who am I to stop you?
How to tell everyone you've never actually read a single Batman comic, method A:
I was reading them long before you were born, Clyde.
Sure you were. Sure you were.
Sooo, which part of...
...didn't you get the first time around?
Again. If you are so desperate to cling onto your favorite capitalist-parasite-by-day, fascist-vigilante-at-night wish-fulfillment fantasy I won't stop you. But if you want to get all reactionary and salty when people point out the obvious about the media you have invested so much into you should expect pushback.
