- 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.

You mean like the cast and writers of the show?
I think you have what I mean twisted. What life is like for people stuck in the poverty or trailer park cycle is not a universal experience and for all the people that do get it or do empathise and have an understanding that "this is a window into a world I'm not from presented in a humorous way" theres someone sitting there laughing thinking that the whole thing is a wild exaggeration, laughing at the idea that people are really like that or using it to confirm their own biases "the parts that confirm my biases are facts and the parts that dont are just entertainment"
Me hating the show isnt a commentary on its quality, the creators and cast should be very proud of it. I just cant stand to sit and watch it because some of it is too real to be funny as someone who also came up really fucking poor.
