Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,

πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
- GPrime85
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

Wait a sec she has OF????
Yeah it's been something people judge her for. Been a thing people bring up all the time.
She's a grown ass woman. What she does on the Internet, as long as it's not harmful to others or illegal, is her business. People need to chill TF out.
And even if it's illegal is debatable about being acceptable. Legal does not equate to moral.
It does to lawful evil/neutral/good people :p
well yes but generally speaking with regards to porn, the most common time porn is "illegal" is at least currently almost always for reasons that almost everyone would agree on morally. Admitted, the current direction of the US is working on regulating/restricting porn between consenting adults, and just had that abysmal ruling that AI created CSAM is probably OK. Right on the heels of discovery that Grok has somehow trained on CSAM.
i thinks its mostly mysogynist/and racists that are criticizing her content, and the volume of it.
To be fair, she's heavily protected, to the point where criticism will get you banned and she throws around cease and desist letters to anyone parodying her work.
She has more than earned the scorn she gets, she just also happens to be a woman on the internet and that comes with sexism by default.
Other than the C&D letters (which I haven't found any evidence of a source for yet but I haven't tried very hard), how has she done that?
I mean, actively silencing people because they can't afford a lawyer to defend themselves is pretty much all you need to be a piece of shit. Parody has repeatedly been upheld as fair use, however you still have to appear and defend yourself and that takes time and money, more than most people have. So in effect C&D letters become one sided sledgehammers when used against average people.
Do you have a source? I still haven't found one but maybe I'm being stupid
But you're saying that's the only thing to deserve whatever outrage?
What has she done to "earn scorn" other than being a woman?
I think most of the criticism related to that has been about her using her comics as un-funny βhello, fellow libsβ thirst trap advertising for her OF, which apparently isnβt working, so this one has to be more blunt.
I've been enjoying her comics for years and was unaware that she had OF
If she's pushing it, she's doing it very subtly
I think that two things are clear: she's upsetting fragile guys who deserve to be upset, and those who pile on to defend those losers are unaware that they're members of the first group
And members of that group seem to be the ones advertising her OF for her.
Sure, OF was mentioned in the comic, but I thought that was just as a way of calling her a whore.
She hasn't even put up the link on her comic profile, dunno if I would call it advertisement.
I wouldnβt even know it existed if dudes werenβt constantly raging about it.
Ass woman?
No no, you read it as "grown ass" "woman" it's a slang not an insult to her
https://xkcd.com/37/
THERE IS AN XKCD FOR EVERTHING
I do this constantly.
Apparently.
is this link allowed?
https://www.babepedia.com/babe/Ellen_WoodburyShe is damn funny and makes funny comics. I can usually tolerate not agreeing 100% with artists and still iok me them. But if you side with Nazis we are on different sides. I have no issues with OF
Seems like it might be too breezy.
Plus, only fans can only do so much, if you really need cooling an air conditioner helps.
Oh good, the ad worked.
Sorry for the stupid question, but what is OF ?
OnlyFans
Oh ok, thanks !
Only Fans, mainly used for distributing adult material.
Didnβt know, thank you :)
No worries.
