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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

At the same time, people drastically conflate "good" with "entertaining". Most of my favorite movies are not "good"
Transformers, all of them. Love those movies, but they're not getting academy awards.
My favorite is people who complain about them because they're not believable. Yes, the movie with the robots from outer space didn't stick to science 100% of the time.
I have the same gripe with video games. Who cares if it's not historically accurate that there's a woman fighting? Guess what Tommy, none of us fought in World War 2 either!
Part of it is how much of the sales pitch stressed the accuracy. Dont tell people you're making something "as historically accurate as possible" and then flagrantly disregard it.
Like making concessions is one thing. In cod ww2 red dot sights are unlockable because frankly iron sights suck. Not historically accurate but gotta give players some kind of magnification to see at medium/long range.
But every gun getting a Silencer (not even suppressor lmao you can straight up make an LMG near silent) Disregard of reality. Cod ww2 didn't like....sell itself on its historical accuracy, but these were just 2 examples to show it.
