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.

And also we aren't (or sometimes are) allowed to express our own displeasure at these actions. Like reacting to speech somehow isn't covered by freedom of speech.
This is what it felt like watching Nick Fuentes be interviewed
This one was in my backlog ever since the Fuentes interview by Piers Morgan, yup.
And also the concept of both siding an argument. For example, if an astronomer is interviewed to talk about the curvature of the earth, a flat-earther will also be invited to offer an ‘alternative’ opinion
