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.

I've always considered "I find that offensive" to mean "I think what you said means you're a dickhead and I want you to know that". That's why I'm offended by people who say "Hitler did nothing wrong" un-ironically but not offended by people who say "Hitler did nothing wrong" as a joke.
"I find that offensive" seems to be a bit of a straw SJW. I'm sure some exist that make things all about themselves like that, but if someone said "black people are lazy criminal scum", I don't think the response would be "I find that offensive". I think the response would be "that's racist garbage, get out of here. Black people are just people". Point being, the response to an offensive statement generally consists of an argument explaining why it is harmful or factually incorrect.
Wow I really started something huh? lol
Haha yeah it sure seems that way
