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.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.
- Bots aren't allowed.
- Banned users will have their posts removed.

No, it just means people have to actively make a single click to disable the blur.
Beep has some really fucked up opinions. Between this and removing artist signatures, they've got to just be a troll.
That blur is, by definition, censorship.
Nothing in this post is in need of being censored.
Except people can configure if they want NSFW posts blurred or not. You can set it to not if you like.
Okay? That is completely separate to the fact it is still censorship. This image has nothing that is deserving of being censored to where the individual must go through hoops to avoid said censorship.
This image isn't NSFW.
It's a sexual comic whose entire subject is basically "horny alien wants to fuck"
Marking it NSFW isn't "censorship" it's just a warning... What do you actually think censorship means?
Yes it is. Sexual content doesn't fly in most professional offices and people get reported to HR for less.
"Not Safe for Work" people want to browse at work, and could get fired for having this comic scroll past.
The fact people could get fired for this is total bullshit. But it is what it is. Tagging gives people options.
This isn't about judgement, it's about making spaces for people to enjoy without risking their jobs.
Your definition of censorship is off then. Censorship would mean the content is not accessible at all. I.e. bars above genitals in Japanese hentai.
Gonna say that your definition is off. Censorship isn't about completely blocking access but restricting that access, either permanently or through making one jump through hoops for that access.
Who are you censoring, the users that chose to hide NSFW content? No, you are respecting their choices by tagging correctly.
