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.

I did that once. Felt good. Still feels yucky though, with how deep this is ingrained into my brain.
If anything, I'm able to see how much of self-imposed harmful stuff I've been trained to consider not only normal, but a necessity. I believe there was no malice in the people that pushed these things/beliefs onto me, but being conscious of them is a good first step to differentiate with what to keep and what to let go. Even if I can't fix myself, I can at least try not to push these onto others, should the occasion rise.
