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.

The portrayal of men is just as unrealistic. Maybe not in the same genre/show (target audiences etc etc) but the muscle definition u see all over the movies for men u think that's realistic?
The funny thing is that it's also mostly 'heterosexual' men that are into the steroid strong hero aesthetic.
A lot of the unrealistic male body images u see aren't steroid builds. They simply have unhealthy level of muscle definition. For instance every Chris Hemsworth scene with his shirt off he has dehydrated himself for a day and sat in an ice bath. And if u have ever watched a movie that includes that with a woman or a gay man u would understand that its not just for the het men.
