- 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.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.

The vegan philosophy isn't an all-or-nothing never wanting to cause any pain philosophy. It's a philosophy of reducing suffering as much as reasonably possible while being able to still live your own life.
But any argument about plants feeling pain is completely sideways to that whole issue anyways, because farm animals eat more plants per calorie than when humans eat plants directly. Those farm animals need to use some of the plant calories for sustaining their own life, which will not make it into the meat, egg or milk. Even if you hate animals and love plants, you have to snack on plants to cause as little harm to plants as possible.
