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.

No idea where you are from, but yes, around my parts the only people running around in "tacticool" gear are right-wing extremists.
And then there's me, I just enjoy camo and guns
Oh, no problem. There are also lots of people doing LARP or paintball stuff here too. But basically none of them would wear their gear under normal circumstances in public.
Also a big difference from just wearing a camo outfit and whatever the fuck the weirdo militias wear
And what of the ~~young people with green hair wearing a million pouches, a bulletproof vest, gothic combat boots, and a face-concealing gas mask~~ tactical cybergoths?
Which fantasy book is that from?
The wonderful world of real life fashion movements.
Techwear is beautiful. And I can't help seeing something queer in the design language.
If you didn't lead with the fact that they have green hair I might have taken this question seriously
Well excuse me for thinking coloured hair is cool.
I apologize for misunderstanding, but it definitely read as a conservative person whining about the youth being weird.
Cybergoths are to be respected
That's because you neglected the conversational context. The prior comments were calling people with tacticool clothes right wing weirdos. I was using language that implied a contrast.
Ya I already admitted I made a mistake thank you
Who?
oh yeah nothing makes me cringe like open carry people
It definitely depends. I was at one of the protests on the 17th and there were several of us wearing gear and open carrying.
I have seen them on the internet but they are not around these parts so I was not sure with the basic cartoon form. I assumed initially but it was realizing the rug he was on was a dropped nazi flag that made it for sure. Im sorta glad I don't recognize it really.
