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.

Far Right Ethno Nationalist
I have literally never run into that until now. That seems like a dog whistle pitched so high, not even rodents can hear it.
Well I'm happy for you, but that doesn't change that Nazis are using it as a dog whistle. And FWIW I'm unfortunate enough to know it's not even a particularly niche one—it's been pretty popular with edgelords for a few years now
You can self censor however much you want if that makes you happy.
I've just replied to you elsewhere, but dude
This is not censorship
This is one regular person telling another regular person that they might accidentally be doing something racists do as a shibboleth
Thx for the tip, fren 👌
Can't we just chill my fren?
Lmao, by that logic you wouldnt be able to use any 3-5 letter words because every one of those probably has some acronym associated with it, that means something bad.
I don't think Nazis are actively using every acronym, c'mon you know that's silly.
They use this one though.
It's like saying 1844 isn't a bad number, because numbers aren't bad—unfortunately more often than not, when you see it, it's not used innocently.
Fuck all the way off with your newspeak bullshit
I didn't come up with this, they did
I would love this to not be the case, but it's just naïve to ignore the reality of the shitheads that are out there
Their whole thing is existing in the grey area between harmony and incongruity
And context usually gives away whether something is being used innocently or not.
Don't assign moral values to words or numbers. Those things are morally neutral. Look at how they're being used and the context surrounding their use then use that to determine the morality of the individual using them on a case by case basis.
