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.

In german this is even worse because people don't ask what you do, but what you are. It reduces people's identity to their job even more.
Fun fact, if you're a visible minority people will ask you the same question in English speaking countries!
Sounds like they've figured out how not to be reduced to their jobs!
Naah, instead depending on the minority they'll be further reduced to their skin colour, religion, genitals or sth. else. For the majority these things usually are just indicators for potential career chances and likelihood of being harassed.
