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.

For some reason, I immediately assumed they were talking about Eric S. Raymond

This reminds me a conversation I had with my wife's coworkers, and they were trash talking their boss and one of them (white passing) said that other that being racist, she was always professional and everyone went like wtf. This was in Brazil btw.

The worst kind of person isn't someone who will defend free speech, it's someone who does so at first, and then stops defending it when they're in power.

I think hate speech should have repercussions, but there are lots of thoughts that are hard to explain. A big problem is the upsurge in these types of comics. I think they are not only unhelpful, but detrimental to the cause at hand when pro-Palestine protesters are being labeled "Nazis" and then detained. The problem right now clearly is the state, not the people living under the state, and someone saying a few offensive things, while evil, isn't as bad as the government being turned into a police state before our eyes, who will gladly shut us up for protesting against them. Stop worrying about the Nazis in universities and start worrying about Nazis about to run the U.S. military.

Did you comment on the wrong post?

Yeah, I fucked up a bit. I didn't know what this was talking about. I thought it was about defending Raymond's right to free speech. In actuality, it's about looking at someone on a far more surface level.

There's a very strong trend on Lemmy I've found that really supports the whole women not having rights concept. They just come out of Woodworks.

No... I think they're saying that the comic guy who thinks women shouldn't vote is not as bad as the people in Trump's cabinet, or something. Which is like... I can care about both pretty easily. Effortlessly, even.

I really hope so, for their sake.
