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.

Anime doesn't sexualise underage people, because until the 2023 age of consent in Japan was 13. It's 16 now, so for American prudes it's still underage. Just don't forget that in most of the world the age of consent is much much lower than in the US.
And if anything, this meme is a cultural appropriation as the American view is being pushed on another culture. If you don't want to learn about and accept foreign culture - watch Marvell movies instead.
Look, if you're having to bring up age of consent laws, you're arguing the wrong side.
13, hell even 17 is WAY too young for age of consent. Anyone arguing otherwise because of "culture" is asking for the abuse of minors.
Ahaha! Oh my... American prudes and their perverted views...
