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.

How childish. I'm a white man in the US. It doesn't offend me. I can understand how it can be offensive though. My critique isn't valid because I'm offended or not, it's because I used reasoning. Reasoning is valid, not your feelings about it.
What do you think it added to the conversation? Do you not think perpetuating negative tropes is something that should be avoided?
so let me get this straight.
you're a white American male that's not directly offended by, but offended in-place of Africans that may or may not see this comic?
Jesus Christ, you're the epitome of sheltered American with a white savior complex.
it's a fucking comic strip.
the irony of it all is that you're in the joke in the comic and you don't even realize it.
What do you think being offended means, dude? Because this person you’re replying to is not offended. You ignoring the content of the comments and just hammering on really sounds like you’re offended, though. Because that’s what being offended sounds like.
Nah man. You're reading a lot into this. I was adding to the other comment asking what it adds? Does it add anything? Can you actually construct a reason?
I know it's easier to insult people and pretend like they're the ones who are being ridiculous rather than doing the hard work of thinking, but it's childish.
u/GreenKnight23 , that is the best comment in the entire thread
