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.

Absolutely, just like anyone can like makeup and fashion.
In my experience, those are interests shared more between women than men, just like videogames, cars and motorbikes and sports are more commonly appreciated by men.
I think that's the premise of the comic, with no intention of being discriminatory.
Aree, though I've seen studies that videogames are closer to 50:50 now than ever. Mostly mobile gaming balancing it out, with more casual availability.
Also I imagine stuff like Sims always had more girls getting into it than boys
The one opinion I still firmly hold from my Gamergate phase is that we really need to come up with a term to seperate casual gaming on a cellphone and gaming on damned near everything else. Mostly because it feels like data manipulation to lump mobile gaming with everything else since the overlap between someone who builds a PC and plays say Stellaris, Tyranny, and Ready or not is entirely different from my grandmother playing solitaire on her phone.
Yeah, it's not a matter of being elitists, it's just a different thing altogether
