- 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.

With the way the world is going, reproducing is certainly a choice. But if it truly remains a concern, there is the option of freezing sperm.
I got a vasectomy and it has been amazing. Easily one of the best decisions of my life.
After hearing about embryos/eggs being misused, I can't trust my genetic material to some corporation. If I could do it myself that might be an option but hardware fails. I'd rather just keep my faculties intact and be discerning with who I have sex with.
That's a very fair concern, given the fuckery we've seen from corpos.
Oh, please, with this nihilistic nonsense. When in history would you have said "it's a great time to reproduce!"?
It's irrelevant. "It's a choice" is also quite literal; modern contraceptives have only really been available for less than 100 years.
Education and access to information are also key points that cannot be hand-waived.
Edit: I'll offer a counter-question. How bad would things have to get before you decided that it would be a bad idea to reproduce?
This is so nihilistic, dramatic, and ridiculous.
The lives of ordinary people have been far far far far worse for 99.999% of human history.
Don't be such a doomer.
What? You are opposed to freezing sperm? Or opposed to vasectomies in general?
