- 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.

There's definitely something going on. We had this influx of new users posting comics for the sake of engagement in the comments. Often the content of the comic is about men vs women, woke vs dipshit etc. The accounts were then immediately deleted. It seems those are bots that are used by fascist cunts to prepare this platform for right wing fascist bullshit by dividing its user base.
It's not just the comics, the news communities are also suddenly getting a surge of articles with fascist undertones (if not full-on fascist tones) that weirdly get a lot of support. I noticed for example that suddenly there's a lot of articles talking positively of France, even though it is going extremely fast into fascism and has a president directly supporting nazis. A few months ago this would have never worked.
The only places where this doesn't happen are the less popular communities, which also seems coherent with a bot attack.
