The rules are simple:

- 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.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.
- Bots aren't allowed.
- Banned users will have their posts removed.

... Is it a me-problem that I don't feel as though superman's design is that terribly sexualized or objectified at all in the first place???
Maybe it could be because I'm asexual, but, the thing about that is: I've never had trouble telling when something was manufactured for titillation in the past. Because, I have found, it always seems as though titillation is not so much about what it includes, but about what it lacks.
Y'know how pornography has either no story, or its story is of a most rudimentarily threadbare quality?
How the props are cheap if there are any aside from sex toys...
Usually it's because of the presumption that nobody's going to be paying attention to all the other background stuff, they're here to ogle the sex.
