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.
-

Your outrage is meaningless. You're screaming into a void that either already agrees with you or doesn't give a shit.
I don't give a shit. Your argument is hollow and rings of hurt feeling and betrayal. Of the hundreds of upvotes most consume corprate media that funds worse people.
This isn't a noble grand stand, you're just butthurt and picked a popular target to hate. Manufactured transphobe Nickleback.
J.K. Rowling is a billionaire, think about that. She has access to a resources on a scale that is unimaginable to most people and uses those considerable resources to actively harm an entire group of people, transgender people, simply for being who they are. I know I am screaming into a void with this comment to you, but the fact that what J.K. Rowling does is standard issue capitalism does not make the feelings of the OP hollow.
You just proved my point. You aren't mad about the media. You're mad about who's become a billionaire off it but what you're trying to do is impotent at best and actively hurting your position from my more cynical perspective. But it's too late, she's already so rich your grand standing can't ever hope to achieve anything of measure.
Do something useful with your time instead of bitching about Nickleback as a popular catharsis. You're more likely to alienate people who could have been allies than achieve anything of merit (or even statistical significance)
Someone who thinks giving up Rowling is too big an ask was never an ally in any way that actually means anything..
Her fans of which there are tens of millions dumb dumb. Like swifies. And yeah, you don't have a lot of allies. It's part of why you're losing. Idealistic child.
I bet you call people "terf" and think it's insulating. Not realizing it can only hurt people who give a shit about trans people. A masturbatory insult if you will
Is your point that we should be mad at the media specifically? That would be a pretty stupid point
My point is this is as stupid as bitching about the newest Taylor Swift album. Possibly dumber.
You are the Harry potter fan telling us you don't give a shit. Did the comic offend you? Your argument rings of hurt and betrayal at the reflection of reality it serves you.
I don't give a shit. Your argument that were screaming into the void is hollow and rings of hurt feelings and acknowledgment of the hurt.
This isn't a noble grand stand. Yelling at us to defend billionaires who want genocide isn't a good place to be. You're just butthurt and picking a minority group to hate.
I'm actually not a fan I just make this argument for mostly music artist often. It's the classic separate the art and artist argument.
Pirate Rowling's shit like everything else or don't watch. Either way these memes screech. There's much in this world to be obsessively angry about and what you chose is dumb. There are over 3000 billionaires and this dumb bitch's rank on that list so fucking low
Actual fan or not. You're still in the shoes of the fan.
Support genocide or not these comments screech "I'm not responsible" despite the blood on your hands for your silent approval of it.. There's much in this world to be obsessively dismissive of and what you chose is dumb. There are over 3000 billionaires and this dumb bitchs part of that should not be dismissed so easily.
Hooold up. You're not suggesting JK is committing genocide are you?
Yupppp and yeh, she is wholly in support of it
That, quite frankly, is an absolutely ridiculous take and horrifically disrespecting to cultures and individuals who have been victims of actual genocide.
I suppose my argument is best summed up as you suck at picking battles.
Bitching about other people enjoying harry potter is as stupid as caring about people listening to Taylor Swift. They both have low billions. They don't matter, google the fucking Rothschilds and make a meme worth reading.
Surely you're not bringing up the Antisemitic conspiracy theories related to that family?
The Epstein Files. He introduced himself as their money manager regularly. The emails that can only be interpreted as hunting humans, that was between Spouse Rothschilds.
AIPAC is evil, you can mostly drop giving a shit about antisemetic conspiracies dude. As it turns out the state of Israel sees Yamakas mostly as metaphorical shields.
That and the Rothschilds have hundreds of heirs with more money and influence than Rowling, orders of magnitude more. The Maxwells too. But don't worry, there are non jewish familes fucking you just as hard. Peter Thiel alone for instance
Thank you. Someone fucking gets it.
