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.

Alright, but you're literally doing the exact same thing right here. You're using a generalization about a group to make conclusions about the behavior of that group.
In reference to members of a group engaging in negative behavior, you characterize those people who engage in that behavior negatively. I'm a person, and I resent the implication that I might also unfairly dogpile someone discussing this topic based off the actions of this group.
(edit: clarity)
What group am I making generalizations about? What conclusions? Genuinely asking - I'm quite certain I am not.
Hmm, If this is what you are referring to perhaps we need to clarify something. Generally selecting a group to make a statement about is not inherently wrong... Its what you do with it that can be.
Example:
"children's minds have not fully developed" vs "children all reek of bo"
Both of these statements select [most/all] children generically as a group. One is based in fact... And one contains opinion. Presenting that opinion in a way that might hurt somone isn't a crime... Although it can be presented in bad faith. The major issue is really where somone presents a counter opinion and they are rebuked for it. As before, I imagine you can see some parallels here.
