Rules
-
😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
🏘️ 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.
-
🧬 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.
-
📽️ 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!
-
📋 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.,
✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
📬 Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) 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 🖐) will be removed.
-
🏴☠️ 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.,
Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
-
🍿 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
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)

I just want to feel good about being a man for one day.
Who's stopping you?
I feel good about being a man.
If the existence of women only spaces is enough to make you feel bad about being a man, it seems what you're actually feeling bad about is not having total access to everything and control over everyone. That's a different issue, and is solved through therapy.
Would you be just as fine with a men's rights conference that banned women? Honest question
It's Because every day I am hearing about how awful men are. We can't even have our own safe spaces because we can't be trusted. I am constantly being told about how much dumber and more dangerous we are then women. Hell, you even made assumptions of me being some incel freak
If you want to create a safe space for men, nothing is stopping you. Be the change you want to see instead of complaining about women doing it. How do you think they got it? They made it and fought for it.
I am not sure if you're trolling on purpose or not. I think it's irrelevant. I have a simple rule for life. Don't be a dick.
Society is full of safe spaces for men.
If you don't want people to assume you're an incel, don't act like one.
Got an example that has not been over run with alt right dipshits?
Men's safe spaces are the default.
Taking some examples from my personal life : most gyms, many sports clubs, most gaming communities, barbershops, men's addiction recovery groups, are places where men can feel very comfortable being themselves and taking all the space without little to no pushback. Some have alt right dipshits, some don't. Find the right ones.
This comment thread is a prime example. Looking at the scores it's implied that I should bow down to the needs of entitled men instead of having them work on themselves and curb their unhealthy need to have total control of everything everywhere. That's what a male safe space looks like, so add Lemmy comment sections to the list above. Might feel hard to read, but I'm not one of those people who will pat you on the back just for existing. Being mad at the existence of women's only spaces instead of looking for spaces that would fit you is unhealthy behavior. Other people are allowed to exist outside of your control. Work on yourself. If you can't do it alone, try therapy. It worked for me.

Have a squizz for anything that mentions mental health. It's like kryptonite to dipshits.
Not really, they do bring it up. Mostly it's a lie but it's more then ehat you get from most leftist spaces.
I'm posting this from the men's bathroom.
Did you see the thing just last week where there was a massive online “rape school”? Where millions of men were online sharing videos of their drugged spouses and girlfriends?
Men are afraid that women won’t like them. Women are afraid that men will kill or rape them.
Only the number given was visitors who went to the site as a while which was just a regular porn site. The people who actually had anything with the 'academy' was a thousand.
Not that itnmatters to you I am guessing
How many people are jerking to those videos on motherless right now?
When was the last time several thousand women organized groups to discuss raping men?
Oh we did worse we got a whole comm on piefed where if a cismale comments as a cismale they get asked nicely to stop posting because it's a comm for enbys, cis and transwoman to speak
I was explicitly denied a job because I’m a trans guy and that’s kinda common man. Im sorry there’s a couple of Internet forums you can’t post too, I wouldn’t have been able to get a bank account 50 years ago.
Pretty much 99.9 of women through most of human history, and a good chunk today, were effectively property. Occasionally times a bit better - right to divorce, consent to marriage, property rights, inheritance, ability to get a job…..
Things don’t magically change over night. I don’t know, I’m just a trans man that got recommended and took a special “careers for girls” elective that was nurse or cosmetologist.
Bub, i'm cisfemale, been very open about that in this thread and a regular commentor on womensstuff
That comment above? That was sarcasm.
How do people not understand how patently ludicrous this line of thinking is?
Why are men unable to put aside their emotions anyone someone points out that lots and lots of men do fucked up things, and are systematically supported?
You hear some men, and because you think emotionally, you hear “all men.”
Rapist in my state almost killed three teenage girls. He got court ordered therapy and community service.
Tulsa’s DA was just complaining about mandatory minimums for rapists.
And are we fucking forgetting that for 99% of human history, and still in most of the world, women didn’t get to learn to read? Go to school? Got married off as children?
Marital rape wasn’t illegal in every US state until 1993.
Try Caleb's approach for this sort of thing. "Are you a ~~cannibal~~ man?" "Well, that's not how I would define myself. If we're going by what I'm most passionate about, I would say that I'm a woodworker."
