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.

Just to give a bit of context to this allegation, Kovarex linked an article written by Uncle Bob, who has made some awful statements.
When called out for this, Kovarex asserted that it's irrelevant because the article he linked wasn't to do with any of that.
He didn't defend Uncle Bob's statements just that it didn't make him (Kovarex) worthy of cancelling because of it and how Internet culture means that everyone has to be an enemy or ally with no room for any nuance.
Wait, so someone is criticizing Factorio because someone who worked on Factorio linked to an article written by someone who has, at some point in the past, made awful statements?
Man, that's some bullshit.
I can't imagine that like of thinking in, say, science
"Yeah, very interesting article but it is rejected because you cited an article made by someone who once coauthored another article with a racist individual"
