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.

This was the last place I expected to see a rant about DbD! There are some trulyawful people in the community, from playing just to waste other people's time to getting into "us vs them" arguments and hurling insults. I'm glad there's a few people who go above and beyond to set good examples.
On topic, I don't get how even if Behaviour retconned characters to be different sexualities impacts our ability to enjoy the game at all. It's not like the pride charms are going to hurt you, lol!
Right? Behavior created David King, he's their character, if they wanna say he's actually a time traveling alien from the future with a singing prehinsle dick, that's their creative decision. Don't like it? Don't fucking play the game. Wanna play the game anyway because it's fun? Then play it for the game and keep your mouth shut about the story.
The only reason I'm against changing pre-existing characters is because when I see a Superman movie, there's an expectation of who Superman is going into it. If the movie fails to meet this expectation, than the movie sucks. (You bet your ass I hate Man of Steel)
With DBD, the way I see it, they only have the responsibility to meet my expectations for the licensed characters. For their own people they can do whatever the fuck I want.
What I hate about "BHVR IS DEI!!111" complaints is that they aren't consistent. I've heard people claim "X Characters is bad because she isn't sexy enough" and then later "Y Character is bad because she's too sexy, and therefore the self-insert of a developer." Like, which is it? Is it bad because you have an erection or is it because because you can't masturbate to a game that is more focused on making you afraid than aroused?
