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 dog shit comic being spammed on *eddit was a good reason to leave that shithole

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 days ago

The great thing about lemmy is that if you don't like a post, there is another one under it.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 days ago

I don't see what's dogshit about it. Maybe you just don't like it?

Fits the current comic btw.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

It wasn't the spam for me so much as criticism and parody of her work being banned. "I have drawn myself as the Chad and you as the soyjak" shtick gets old.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 3 days ago

Yeah, the virtue signaling is at an insane level, but the author never seems to take their own advice or take it well when anyone points out their blind spots.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago (6 children)

I don't think this is the right place for you then either. Maybe try X or "Truth" Social?

You sound decaffeinated.

[–] [email protected] 62 points 3 days ago (2 children)

You’re welcome to make your own comic if you think you can do better.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

now now. that's just a stupid stance to take. you don't have to make media to be critical of it.

or do you have to make a podcast to say joe rogan's slop is toxic, diseased, and damaging to society?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 days ago (6 children)

You’re right of course! But also there’s a big difference between real criticism and just saying something is “dogshit”. In fact you criticized Joe Rogan’s stuff properly, by drawing attention to the negative effects it has on people. We could go even further and pick out specific cases. (Though there’s no need to in this case, I agree with you.)

On the other hand, shitting on something with no reasoning just makes you a hater. I work with several comic artists professionally, and a common thing they ALL see is a nontrivial percentage of commenters who simply disparage everything. This is not because the content is inherently bad, but because all these trolls can do is destroy, not create.

"This is a dog shit comic" is not a critique, though, is the thing. It's just jerking off in public.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 days ago (7 children)

she's had some real shitty opinions but she's generally in the right ballpark.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, on this topic I feel like she’s in the ballpark. My girlfriend and I game in the same spaces but we don’t always announce that we are together IRL for privacy sake. And we are both very independent people.

The amount of weird dudes she’s ran into that have used “high value man” or “high value woman” is absolutely more than one. They’re pretty common to bump into in online spaces.

The last time she ran into a problem with a dude like this—she read me the chat as it was going down. The guy was clearly into her but couldn’t handle that she was taken and had no interest. So, this random dude proceeded to call me a cuck (hahaha), asked if I “knew what she was up to” (gaming? lol), and that no high value man would want her! He did this in a public gaming space too and about 50 people thankfully dog piled and ratioed him into oblivion.

Oh well! I guess she’s stuck with “her low value cuck man” who makes her coffee in bed every morning and with whom she raised a cute and healthy family with. She’s allowed to do whatever she wants and her male doesn’t even try to control her. How horrible! She’ll never recover!

These dudes are dangerous in numbers. Which is why they deserve and need to be mocked mercilessly until they fuck off or get therapy.

What kind of narcissistic fuck refers to himself as "high value man"

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 days ago

Gestures wildly at the men, many in positions of power, around the world, who very obviously would do that.

From all the trending news articles, ten year old boys who got access to tik tok

[–] [email protected] 66 points 3 days ago (5 children)

it's definitely not just the ten year olds that think this shit.

It’s taking the piss out of Andrew Tate and the gullible guys that he’s convinced are superior to women.
