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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yeah to some degree, but no to some degree. Kids will sometimes say non-judgemental descriptive things like in this comic, but other times they say massively judgemental rude things. Like instead of saying your belly is soft they'll say "ew your belly is so fat" or "your butt is broken, it hangs way down".
Let's not pretend kids are non-judgemental, often times they're the most judgemental of all
Yeah, but they do still learn that from somewhere. They don't come out of the womb with derision for fat people, it's very much cultural.
Who taught them those things though? If their environment (generally at home) teaches them that being fat is gross or bad, then yes, kids will repeat those things.
If you're incapable of teaching your kids how to properly socialize then you probably.... Okay, never mind. I realized as I was typing how hopeless this endless nightmare is.
