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.

Their mutual regard for one another transcends what they want from the relationship, which contrasts humourously with hetero norms of trying to change one other to get what you want

Ok, but... That's not something that's funny.

It would work in a greater narrative, perhaps, where we as readers know the characters. Not this one off thing.

Being selfish is hetero normative? I'm probably being defensive but this feels like a weird statement to make.

I'm here as a het to tell you that the gays do laugh at us, and it's fine

[–] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So stereotyping is suddenly okay if the gays are the ones doing it?

If your jokes made around stereotypes in queer communities are offending people the jokes are probably just veiled insults. You can do things, you just need to be at least a little versed in the community and understand how to make respectful jokes instead of demeaning ones.
