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.

Those children grow up to be the ones writing policy. They are people too, don't forget that you were also once a child.
The "stupidest shit" that is said is often due to them being isolated and in a social bubble where those beliefs are the norm. Those "Internet arguments" may be the only exposure to ideas outside and social pushback outside said bubble.
Lack of evidence of outcome is not evidence of outcome.
If you're getting heated you're doing it wrong.
The payoff isn't to convince the other person one way or another, it's to provide others reading the discussion alternative viewpoints. In this case pushing back against the idea that children's thoughts, feelings and questions should be ignored.
