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.

I think you actually don't like the message of the comic, because if you didn't like it or thought it was lazy, you would probably move on.

For me, this comic represents my lived experience. I have had people in my life literally say "It's just politics" and call trans people sexually deviant pedophiles at the same time. And if you haven't had that happen to you, good for you. But I like the comic because it is simple, short, and pretty good at conveying that feeling.

Sorry if that feels lazy to you, art is subjective, but I think the message of this is pretty fucking obvious because of its simplicity.

I try to reply instead of downvoting, healthier for discourse and sometimes opens up new perspectives from others. I also try not to abandon conversations (though I have hundreds in my inbox I haven't gotten to).

I don't appreciate the shift in trying to pin me with your own thoughts so probably best to end the chain, but I'll still validate and not argue your experience because it is art (begrudgingly admitted) and you are human.
