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.

This is how I think of it. I'm not arguing on the Internet to change the person's mind. I'm arguing to make sure anyone reading the thread in the future doesn't come away with the impression that the other person's argument is flawless.
I'm happy to end an argument by just repeating the facts that the other person is getting wrong. I know their mind isn't getting changed but I hope that anyone that comes along later will be able to read the thread and clearly understand the logical disconnect the other person's argument has.
Especially arguing against someone in certain subcultures like the manosphere, yeesh. Their arguments are so subjective and centered around feelings that often all you can do is point that out and hope someone who comes along later sees that their arguments really make no sense.
Yep, big problem on the internet is the influx of children posting/commenting everywhere since everyone has devices and internet access while kids third places online no longer exist. Like club penguin. Instead they share the same social media we do which is wild, but now 1000s of kids that stay online all say will have their objectively wrong opinions overwhelm anyone with sense.
I was a kid with the internet, but there was internet etiquette, rules everywhere, like I genuinely was able to avoid spoilers everywhere. Social media was kind of a thing but not used the way it is now, ppl actually shared their raw thoughts for better or worse lol. If you didn't know what you were talking about youd get shit on by ppl with sources, now you get a ton of ppl just like you who dont know what they're talking about agreeing and validating you
