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.

Gonna just refer you back to my edit instead of retyping it all. Also it's going to be an uphill struggle to argue that internal inconstancy or brazen deception are rare traits in humans.
Sorry, I'm quick to revise if I think I could have written something better, or found supporting information, etc. I don't think the content has really materially changed, though.
I don't know how to do this, nor am I really inclined to dig through someone's stuff like that (and even if I did, I'd expect only the 'panel 3' part to be in the DMs, not the 'panel 1' part too). Can you link to one example of the same person doing both (panel 1 and panel 3) things? I'm genuinely interested to see.
You're welcome to go and look them up, but for my own safety I'm not going to single out one particular person (with a history of being extremely hostile to me personally) to be publicly shamed - and I ask that while I obviously cannot stop you, if you do end up looking through them you also don't single them out publicly.
Are both 'parts' within the DMs with that person, or is '1' in a regular post/comment, and then '3' is in the DMs?
If the latter, I don't think I can realistically verify at all if they've posted any significant amount, but with the former, I probably could.
It's mostly the second example, people misunderstanding positive interactions in comments as a tacit indication I want to take the relationship to further sexual grounds, but there are sure examples where a positive conversation will start where they decry the duplicitous behavior of men and then they themselves will devolve to the behavior they initially criticize.
That's quite rare for it to be so explicitly-as depicted-in-the-comic here on lemmy, but it does happen.
(edit: spelling!)
Thanks for taking the time to explain. As a man I appreciate it.
