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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
Wtf are you talking about? The user you're responding to is just clarifying the term "whale".
If you ignore what else they say:
Of course they're making this claim because that's what they do. Listen: BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT - stop funding things you don't want to see in this world. Stop funding things you don't want to reward.
If you do reward these actions (such as new subscription model services), or you're justifying them in online commentary (as the comment I replied to was, as you are) then you have no right to complain about them - because they were funded by you.
It's like paying the minimum on a Kickstarter for killing kittens, then commenting "Yes, but it's really the whales funding it".
Not if you're all funding it too. That still counts as funding it! STOP LYING TO YOURSELF!
You're raging against a discussion on nomenclature and blaming anyone that responds to you for your off-topic crusade. Maybe take a moment think about that.
