Comic Strips
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.

I have generally enjoyed this community, but this comment section is bursting at the seams with the misogynist bitch types in cell #3. So quite a few people have earned the Misogynist Bitch label from me, and some of those had high upvote scores from me. I’m very disappointed in many of you and I hope you all try do better and be better in the future.
I looked through all the comments and found like, two people doing this?
incels are butthurt of women in the comic saying exactly what the incels are doing.
Yeah. Some content brings out the roaches here. Its really a shame.
You could have posted anything else but you had to post rage bait. Nice.
all this account does is post ragebait, no comments at all...maybe some kind of bot account?
3 days old too. Absolutely just a rage bait account.
None of the men who say the things in panel 1 are the same ones who say the things in panel 3.
Men are not a monolith. The panel 1 men are on your side re the panel 3 men. Don't push them away with sexist generalizations.
Also, women do this plenty as well (google "nice girls"), you just don't hear about it as much, even though I suspect the % of women who do it is comparable to the % of men (if not more, which I think may be the case, based on the second bullet point below), simply because women experience a lower absolute number of rejections, as a sex, than men do, by virtue of the following:
- They do the approaching far less often on average. Only the 'approacher' can be the one who gets rejected, after all
- On the absolute scale, men are definitely less likely to reject a woman who approaches them, than the other way around
- This means women in general have less experience with rejection, and that likely leads to being less likely to handle it maturely, on average
- I'm also fairly sure men are also less likely to publicly 'call out' a woman, when she does react poorly to a rejection, than the other way around
And for a mini-anecdote along those lines: I've personally been called the f-slur for rejecting a woman who propositioned me while having a boyfriend I was aware of.
Comic is ragebaiting. The artist isn't looking for discussion and the people supporting it as some "truth" aren't either.
Call a spade a spade and don't bother engaging. The people that peddle this slop arent feminists... They are certified sexists that just want to retaliate against everyone and think they are somehow beyond reproach. Its shit behavior and it needs to stop being tolerated.
Social commentary in comics? Can you imagine THE HORROR if Scott Adams criticized people who are bosses?
I'm all deep offend.
Golly-gee... Those old warner / disney cartoons drawing those other silly cultures we were at war with were only social commentary! Whys everyone upset!
I'd like to think that people have the slightest ability to discern the obvious parallel here. But let's feign ignorance and say its okay to generalize an entire sex because its only a comic / cartoon / opinion bro!
... Go on. Tell me it's different.
WTF are you on about? The only rage-baiter in here is you! If fact, you are a master of rage baiting. A real masteragebaiter, so to speak.
The artist doesn't have to conform to any of your standards. Just turn it off if you don't like it. The rest of your whine fest is pathetic work the refs nonsense, like your opinion matters when there's no score kept and the speech is free.
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.
If you look through the comments here, they're absolutely chock full of people patiently explaining their perspective
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?
"I have Herpes" also works.
Except when it doesn't... eugh bug chasers are the one kink I will happily shame.
