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.

You hear someone saying something hateful, and then their thoughts and feelings become a part of you like a plant?

Republicans in the USA right now: WE NEED TO EXTERMINATE THE LGBTQ, THEY ARE ALL PEDOPHILES!!!! Fox/OAN/Tucker/Trump/MTG/etc... told me so.

ya, that is how it works.

and you are here saying you "object to is a broader ethos where the notion of respecting a person’s right to collect and curate their thoughts [we need to KILL LGBTQ+ people] at their own discretion is spat on" and wonder why people are calling your position supporting Nazis, I guess it's fine as long as you aren't affected.

I'm not wondering really. It's conceptual railroading, a lot like "protect the children" or appealing to fear of terrorism as an excuse for attacking civil liberties. You are using the emotional weight of fear/anger at admittedly reprehensible views to force the conclusion "that is how it works"; that is, that people have no agency and words are like a virus for them, with the natural conclusion that what they see or express must be decided for them, which then applies generally. If you don't think that would apply generally, where's the line?
