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.

Sorry, I figured from your post history that you are from an english-speaking country.
The term isn't "weener", it's "wiener": https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/wiener
The point still stands: If you don't see discrimination against a certain group of people as something bad, using discriminatory terms isn't a statement but just a thing people do without thinking.
I think it can be spelled a few different ways, "weener" is the one I come across the most
That's because americans have difficulty spelling/pronouncing foreign words.
That's fair
