Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
-
πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
Web of Links
- !linuxmemes@lemmy.world: "I use Arch btw"

Well that's a rude thing to say to your... girlfriend?
I couldnβt figure it out
Like the very worst reading of it would have someone thinking the author isβ¦ well I donβt want to say because I donβt believe it
.
Maybe you can hear someone thinking βincelβ even though highly doubt
Maybe she's a clingy lady who finds him attractive and is overly forward but the feeling isn't mutual.
I mean, the issue is that this is clearly from a webcomic that no one here reads. And web comics typically have huge amounts of lore about their characters and relationships that can't be conveyed in a single image. Maybe it actually is funny, if all of us had read the last 1000 pages of the web comic leading up to this... But we didn't. So we are left with two possible, not mutually exclusive scenarios:
Or she just isnt his girlfriend and is simply being an invasive asshole.
I think the implication is that she is his girlfriend and he just wants to break up.
Which is a bit weird, because look at that t-shirt. She's clearly marriage material.
Perhaps they're in what the kids call a "situationship".
Maybe he's just an ass and she thinks he's joking
That was how I read it at first too, but she at least implies that she is his βquirky girlfriendβ depending on how you interpret it.
Why the hell are you posting porn? Did you actually think that people would like that? Go back to 4chan.
Well, fifteen people did. Anyways, sry. It was meant to be a joke.
Bad joke in the wrong place. It's clearly stated in the community that NSFW content like that is prohibited. That allows people to expect not to randomly run into porn when they don't want to. Yet here you are shoving porn into people faces against their will. "Other people like it" is not an excuse for selfishness like this.
You say "sry" but you still don't remove your comment and the fact you don't even bother to spell out the word belies that sentiment. I hope you see how bafflingly rude you've been here.
Because no one thinks someone is gonna take a stupid Image this seriously. I'm really sorry I broke the rules I didn't bother to read, but I'm honestly not sorry you're pissed. You can do as your username suggests. chill lol. Imagine getting yourself worked over the rules of an internet community.
You're missing the point. I'm not chastising you because of the rule alone.
I already said this before:
Do you think everyone is okay with just having porn on their phone out in public?
It isn't okay. But Did I not delete it and even put a tag before I knew about the rules? But u still continued writing paragraphs over it. It's not worth typing long paragraphs over an internet comment, especially when I even put a tag over it, unless you don't have any other hobbies than getting pissed over stupid shit online.
Always tickles my funny bone when people assume anyone's reading the sidebar when most apps do their damndest to hide it behind multiple clicks or taps
And I hope you see how bafflingly naive you are, the dude doesn't give a shit if you considered it rude or not (especially from someone with a name like that, bruh)
It's your obligation to make sure you abide by the rules of the community when you are participating in it. So, yes, a person should assume that the sidebar is read. I can understand skipping reading the rules when you are making a normal comment, but if you're going to post literal porn, then you better damn well check the rules first because most communities would not allow it.
It's not naive to hope a message gets across. In fact, I said "hope" specifically because it's not an expectation, as they've shown evidence to not care about others. Though, it's odd they would waste their time with a meaningless reply to my comment if they at least didn't care at least a little; thus, the hope.
Lastly, I hope you realize how much of an ass you've made yourself out to be considering how you've made apparent your capability of being ignorant and hasty. Particularly in that you did not even fully read my username and instead assumed you know what my username is. I suggest you familiarize yourself with Linux, on top of your clearly dire need to learn how to not jump to conclusions and out yourself as a fool. However, I'm confident my hope won't be met with a positive result, since your comment serves no purpose other than an attempt to be rude for fun. I pity puny people that placate their propensity for pleasure by pathetically peddling pejorative speech upon other people.
HELLO I AM ALSO ANGRY AND PARTICIPATING IN THIS ARGUMENT TOO.
Hop in. WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING, YOU ARROGANT PIECE OF SHIT?
Yeah, buddy. You're a far superior being than us puny little creatures that commit the horrible crime of not reading the rules of a comics community in a social media platform. Get a life.
You seem to have an uncanny ability to be immune to underestimation. If you look back over what I said without the veil of selfishness, it would be plain that my issue is with you being inconsiderate and rude by posting porn in an inappropriate place and following it up with a facade of remorse, not because of pedantry over the rules.
It seems fitting that you jumped to the conclusion that I was calling you puny in particular, even though I was describing people who find joy in a sad attempt to needlessly insult other people.
Do I think I am superior to others who find joy in hurting others without warrant? Absolutely. Anyone who invests even a mere modicum of effort in trying to be a decent person would very likely have a decent argument for that claim. I'm sad for you that you seem to be unable to do so yourself, but more sad for the world that has to bear your presence anyway.
All i did was comment an image with nudity in it. And how do u think I feigned remorse? I put a tag? And you're making it sound like I posted some actual porn videos? When the only thing i posted is an low quality image.
Why do it under a comment that defends my actions? Do it somewhere else and I wouldn't think u were describing me.
No? You think you're superior than people who didn't follow the rules of an internet community and even corrected their mistake later. It didn't hurt anyone as much as it hurt you, little guy with the superiority complex. I don't think there are people who get as much bothered as you becuse they saw a image of a bunch of nude people in a lemmy post. Imagine, thinking you're superior to others because they didn't care enough to follow internet rules. Pathetic.
I've told u this twice i think, but again i put a tag and later on deleted the Image. That counts as modicum effort.
It's not that deep. No one cares about this shit as much as you do. Especially, when I deleted it.
Oh no, someone has unlicensed fun!
Time and place, my guy. One, you didn't mark this as NSFW, and two this isn't a NSFW community.
Yeah sry, couldn't find the nsfw tag. Thought people might not mind.
NSFW tags are only available for posts, not comments. He did use the spoiler tag and mentioned that it contains NSFW content. But as some said, some clients don't interpret them correctly which isn't really his fault (one would assume that to work consistently..)
I laughed, my dude.
Well I thought it was funny
Fun fact: spoiler tags do not work across all lemmy platforms.
Not my fault for them not working everywhere. But yeah, it is my fault for not reading community rules. Sry.
Thanks for owning it. Didn't see this blowing up in the way it did, and deleting was probably the best call. Tbf I chuckled, but also knew this wasn't the right place for it. No pearls were clutched, but images like that are for my OTHER account.
Was it good porn
No, it was a heavily pixelated low quality poster with some nude girls and the caption 'Invasive Assholes'.
