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.

Now that I'm older and wiser I look back on the things I believed as a young man, and I cringe. We all have to learn to value friendships, and that making of a friend of a person you'd hoped to romance isn't a loss. But it can be a painful lesson, regardless.
The thing is, sharing stuff like this perpetuates and continue the normalisation of those same toxic ideas you grew up on. If we stop spreading the notion that friendship is second rate, eventually people will stop viewing it as such, and there will no longer be a painful lesson to be learned.
That's fair, I'll try to be more mindful from here on out.
