Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ 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.
-
𧬠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.
-
π½οΈ 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!
-
π 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.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) 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 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ 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.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
- 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.,
-
πΏ 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
- GPrime85
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)

All I've gathered from this discussion is it really is fitting that the comic is a play on the word hypocrisy.
Either way, thanks for the discussion.
Legit question. What would you do? A loved one is in a right wing pipeline. They are resistant to discussion regarding the topic (as is common with such things). There are known negative health, life, and moral outcomes to letting it continue. It is known that removing the easy access has positive results. You have the ability to limit them in some way that would not harm or truly limit them (as previously stated, news is obtainable from many sources).
The trolley approaches and your hand is on the lever. What's your solution? Because this isn't a thought problem. It's something that real people are dealing with every day.
it's literally a cult, have father who has consumed nothing but murdoch brainrot for 30+ years...if there were a way to go back in time and undo that damage i would
Legit response. I would leave their agency alone and discuss their ideas in the open.
I wouldn't like the idea of someone taking my autonomy away, and I don't think you would either.
I also don't ascribe to the notion that the ends justify the means.
Ok. They tell you to fuck off, as was included in the problem statement. They latch to their propaganda based beliefs because that's how it works when there is constant reinforcement, as was implied by the problem statement. They continue to be at risk for a lot of terrible things, often including being abandoned by family when they've gone too far down the rabbit hole, which is a real thing that happens. Now what?
You seem to believe liking things equates to willingness to do them. Intervention is a common thing when people put themselves in harms way. Be it a child reaching for a stove, an alcoholic hitting rock bottom, or a dementia patient being placed in a care home. We fuck with each other's agency all the time when the alternative is worse. And pretty much every instance involves a lot of heartache and doubt (other than the stove thing).
Really? Cause I'm really not a fan of stabbing people as a rule, but when it's done to remove a tumor it's alright. Ends don't inherently justify the means. Murdering a bunch of people? Pretty hard to justify and is the basis of a lot of villain arcs when it's tried. Removing a redundant TV channel? Lot easier to feel fine about in context.
