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.

Idk man, I had a very reasonable discussion with the commentor you're responding to yet I support the comic. If you look through the comments here, they're absolutely chock full of people patiently explaining their perspective, and then comments like yours which are openly dismissing those people before ever engaging with them. You're being unfair, in a way very similar to what you criticize the comic for doing.

The comic in a vaccum could just be a commentary on the aritists own experience.. Sure. I've seen some of their other work - and on other subjects it's perfectly fine. They "appear" to have had a pretty unfortunate experience with men and dating. That sucks, but presenting that opinion in the last panel is where it goes awry. It can be pretty easily interpreted as a blanket statement... And a quick glance around this post seems to confirm (some-not-all) are using it to push that blanket (bad faith) statement as if it were absolute.

Not all people are reasonable. Perhaps the author didn't intend for it to be interpreted as such: But it's very easy to see how it could be - and based on comments here... is.

Edit: coffee.

Yes. Two different perspectives - yet one is being maligned. By and large, there are reasonable commenters here. Lemmy does have more sane than most people present... But not everyone is. And that is what I was making an observation on.

and then comments like yours which are openly dismissing those people before ever engaging with them.

Considering the reaponses I've made this far - I'd suggest I seem to be engaging quite a bit. I am dismissive of a number of logical falicies for what should be apparent reasons, though.

You're being unfair, in a way very similar to what you criticize the comic for doing.

In what way?

So when you do it it's perfectly justified, but if you were to write that exact sentiment down in a comic....?
