Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. πŸ˜‡ Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ 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.
  3. 🧬 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.
  4. πŸ“½οΈ 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!
  5. πŸ“‹ 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.,
      βœ… Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. πŸ“¬ Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 πŸ–) 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 πŸ–) will be removed.
  7. πŸ΄β€β˜ 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]
  8. 🍿 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.
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)

his post history is very telling as to what kind of troll he is. he was posting comics from various artists he enjoyed until recently when he decided to start exclusively posting this artist.

likely because he noticed it gave more consistent downvotes. i guess if what you're going for is "edgy incel teen" energy, that's the way to do it.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Weirdly anti-vegan too.

[–] Solumbran@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ah yes, more objectification of women, with the background joke of "this bitch refuses to give me sex even though I'm a man and women owe me sex".

Sorry, I meant "females"

Disgusting creator really

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's just a masturbation joke. There's no insistence that the guy feels entitled to sex.

Sure, the comic often objectifies women (and that deserves criticism), but that's about as far as it goes. No need to make things up, it just makes you look crazy

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 19 hours ago

yeah I have seen the guys other stuff but im not bringing into this one. As far as I know he has one funny one.

[–] Solumbran@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The comics from this "artist" are consistently making absurdly stupid strawman attacks on people who criticise sexism and misogyny.

Moreover, showing the character saying that in front of the roommate shows that it's not just an internal frustration, but something he is fine telling her ("see, I'm like that because I have to jerk off, because you refuse to give me sex"), which is completely feeling entitled to sex.

No need to defend pieces of shit, it just makes you look stupid.

Again, that's a psychotic jump in logic. Get overyourself.

The comics from this "artist"

The quotes are extremely petty. These comics were made in the mid 2010's, and it mocks things that actually did pop up at the time, like the hypocrisy of complaining about attention-seekers in instagram posts. And no matter how much you want to deny it, we all ran into at least one hypocrite like that back then.

Again, does it objectify women? Yes. Is it outdated? Yes. Should it be posted here? I wouldn't ban it, but I'd appreciate if they were posted significantly less often.

But none of that justifies you making up ibtent where there is none. If you really need to read so far into media that you're making things up, go reread The Great Gatsby or rewatch NGE for the millionth time.

Also, don't bother responding to this. You've already demonstrated you're a toxic asshole via your recent comments here and elsewhere. You're not worth any more of my attention

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 20 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I get it, the joke is he expects simply living with someone in shared accommodation to entitle him to have sex with them because they are attractive and when failed he must resort to cranking hog. Hah women right?

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 6 points 1 day ago

The joke is that simply living with someone very attractive in shared accommodation might lead to lustful thoughts and hence furious masturbation.

Where'd the idea about entitlement to sex come from?

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hah yes exactly how clever of you to figure it out, thanks for explaining me! And how clever of the artist to come up with a hog cranking joke! Almost as good as a fart joke!

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hey, fart jokes are funny.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 0 points 1 day ago

So are jorkin it jokes!

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 19 hours ago

um he may not expect it. I have masturbated to the visage of many women who I don't expect to have sex with. I mean like porn they are not even live in the same city or country.

[–] mr_manager@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Amazing to see the Boomer Humor live on in another generation.

[–] turdas@suppo.fi 13 points 1 day ago

This comic is like 10 years old, but even then it's amazing because you would think it was made in 2004.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

Boomers are way more prudish about wankin'

For anyone confused, this is a reference to Crank mah Hog, the biblical city and its king from the Apocalypse to which George Bush Jr was referring when he tried to get the French president Jacques Chirac to join the Second Gulf War.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I actually find this one funny but its being downvoted to death.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 0 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Kind of boomer humor, in that the joke has been done to death + OP has a bad reputation for being anti-women.

It'd get a different response with a different artist and poster.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 15 hours ago

I mean im not a boomer but they are pretty old at this point and im going going to get at least a gigle out of masturbation humor. may be done to death but so many ways to imply it. I get it with the artist from what I have seen but im going to recognize when its better or worse maybe the artist or poster might even learn to differenetiate.
