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.

One punch man is a parody in it's core though, I don't know why people seem to take it so seriously. Even Tatsumaki can be read as making fun of the usual shounen loli character tropes, looking like how she does and being about thirty
There's making fun of the trope, and then there's actually leaning into it. I've seen the series and I've read the manga. It's certainly getting leaned into.
That's actually a pretty good take on it, yeah. I certainly don't want to defend any loli coded characters further than noting the original parody intend there.
