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.

The downvotes are insane when you're demonstrably right.
There was a wave of, likely from reddit, 'mens rights' users who came over and this happens all of the time now. Any time a woman mentions issues with a man, it's "YEAH BUT WHAT ABOUT" as if the things can't both exist.
I mean look what they're upvoting: 'I saw a feminist say she doesn't care about guys, I super swear guys!'
It's just fucking embarrassing how childish they are. Not even childish, because children can learn empathy. It's as if they quite literally have zero empathy, and can only engage in sympathy with someone who is somehow similar to them. Like should I just post this comic here, the one we all read, as a reply to these people?
Irony is completely lost upon them.
The Bear incident made this plenty clear.
And they'll just downvote anything you say, because you're the bad guy now, regardless of what you're talking about.
I'm just curious what it must be like to be so fragile. It's like any time they aren't being directly supported they fall apart and lash out at everyone around them. The hardest part is watching women calmly wait out the guys' tantrum, then try to carefully explain to him (and in a way that makes him Feel Like A Man still, ever holding his hand emotionally) what is happening and they will still freak out.
It really is just embarrassing.
