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.

Not exactly art, but as a beginner in climbing you definitely want good shoes. The same applies when you are experienced of course, but the difference between a good and bad shoe purely in terms of enjoyment is enormous.
The same applies to a lot of other stuff as well. If you feel like your equipment is constantly fighting you, it's hard to enjoy what you're doing.
I don't know the first thing about climbing, but I assume there is good stuff, and then super expensive top notch stuff.
My comment is not an argument against getting decent or good equipment.
With regards to climbing shoes I would say there's super cheap crap, and that as long as you don't buy that, personal preference is more important than anything else. Professionals will often be using the same shoes as people with a couple months of experience.
Agreed. I think most hobbyists establish a baseline minimum requirement, which some of it boils down to preference. That preference is usually for newer hobbyists to avoid the same pitfalls. Some may misinterpret it as gatekeeping if you recommend a nuanced opinion, but it's your opinion, anyone is allowed to disagree.
I think to OPs point, people asking "what kind of camera do you use?" Isn't meant to be offensive. It's an exploratory question meant to inspire discussion and it usually means that person has an interest in the topic.
People find the craziest things to be offended about nowadays.
