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.

Do you know what the term "suggest" means? Have you witnessed the other people in this thread whose behavior you are trying to explain? Did you not literally follow that up by saying "I don't think you're an ally"? An ally with whom? What am I then?
You made the comparison to the rhetoric about forced bussing in the civil rights era??? I said it was an insulting comparison, then you doubled down, and now here you are agreeing that it's a bad comparison because you think I made it.
Somebody should award you a nobel peace prize. That doesn't explain why people are defending this particular artist so fervently or any significant events that would qualify as a "quick overview of the situation"?
Lol. Lmao even. And I'm the one being "deliberately obtuse". Holy fuck you're annoying, your arguments are bad, and the fact you avoid the actual argument; where one might actually prove sexism, rather than make a bunch of paranoid conjecture about people engaging in the age old tradition of gossip; is not a point in your favor. You have not "earned" the right to condescend, nor to decide who is and is not an ally. This isn't even what I was asking about in the first place and you're really only proving my point. Go away.
No, I think it's a good comparison. You just don't understand why I'm making it.
Again, deliberately obtuse.
Do I not understand or am I being deliberately obtuse? Get your story straight.
In that case though thanks for proving my point. Allow me to edit my reply.
Yes, you did, you compared this issue to the civil rights era, and then you went on to compare it to gamergate, as if all things were equal between them. Welcome to the transitive property! Or are you now saying that this situation is not comparable to gamergate? Hey look, I can be condescending too! Know why? Well cause, I don't think you're an ally >:(
I was using that example to demonstrate why the comparison was insulting, because, as we both agree, internet critics are in fact not politicians. Taking normal people criticising someone, whose internet presence thoroughly warrants criticism; and comparing that to a fight against the American ruling class, to win human rights for a group of people whose humanity is absolutely not up for critique or questioning; shows you don't give a fuck about civil rights beyond the era's ability to serve you in an argument. The fact you're still doubling down on it is very telling.
I'm not being obtuse, I'm very openly refusing to entertain your argument because it trivializes a serious issue that is deeply important to me. This is the most stunning display of dunning-kreuger I have ever witnessed. Nice alt btw. Pretentious ass bad faith radlib. Ick.
