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.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Like did you evolve your entire personality around the disturbing characters? Or did you watch them a couple times, quote a few lines here and there?

There is a line and if you are worried people don't like you anymore because of these movies you probably crossed into the former. The movies are not problematic, but unfortunately the way some people get into them is.

To emphasize: This is not automatically your fault because you enjoyed watching a show.

Media is full of things like this and there a few people that take fandom too far. They are characters and we are intended to hate the characters. Should we feel empathy as we watch their journey? Yes but empathy shouldn't forgive the crimes they commit. We can feel a connection to their pain but take the lesson and instead of idolize, try to do better.
