- 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.

Very good faith argument right there, lol.
Seems like the social engineering that Disney has subjected you to has worked well.
The way I see it, they have always used diversity as a shield against any and all criticism leveled at their lazy, corporate, shitty movies based on beloved franchises. Saddest part is that people like whoever made this comic completely gobbled up those talking points, ignoring the fact that these movies genuinely suck and are in no way empowering nor inclusive in any deeper way than on the surface.
I also say this as a woman who has tried several times to get into star wars and failed to find even the original trilogy appealing: every single sloppy movie Disney has shat out the last decade or so, with extreme few exceptions, has been some pandering, childish and condescending bs that makes me as a woman feel talked down to and I hate that they pretend like this is the best women can expect and that any criticism leveled as their piss poor products is supposedly attacks against us women and that Disney is somehow our defenders. Fuck right off.
It is a soulless corporate tactic to use diversity to snuff out conversation and criticism and anyone who falls for that shit is not someone I'd want to know, because ironically, I sincerely doubt a person like that is able to form any independent thought without having the corporate, pre-approved PC talking points fed to them through media.
Hilarious.
