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.

Where is this book banned for children for being a bad influence?
I mean, 1984 isn't really age appropriate for children anyway. Not from the authoritarianism, but sexual and violent content and themes.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. I also didn't know this book was banned, and was going to ask something similar.
One would assume that Kurt Vonnegut would have some awareness about books
Just look for red states/cities in the US. More than likely its been banned there.
Most recently in Florida. It's been banned often in the United States, it's also been banned in Vietnam
On Elon Musk's X, animal abuse is the safe content.
This kinda hits different when you replace cats with cows.
If you're killing the cow in the same way the people in those videos kill cats, then it doesn't hit much different at all.
There's definitely a line here, but I suspect that we disagree on where that line is.
If you think cows are killed in anything but abject horror, I'd recommend you at the very least watch Dominion, which was linked above.
at least the cat stretched its legs once or twice whereas the cows were stuck in torturous positions their entire miserable life, steeped in their own shit on the verge of suffocation due to crowding. its all fucked
