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.

The posters are red flags for "nice guys" and other very problematic people
I must be way too old. Being a nice guy is bad? Fuck, I've been living under a rock. Is this about "incels" or this sigma thing?
Edit: Lol, why the downvotes? You guys aren't nice!
Being a nice person isn't bad but "nice guy" is a term for someone who presents themselves as nice and polite (but only to people they're attracted to) and expects romantic attention in return for being nice. Basically, they think the fact that they put so much effort into being nice they deserve that romantic attention. They'll often talk about how nice they are.
Of course, anyone who needs to repeatedly tell you they are nice tend not be.
Ok. Thx. I am not from the US and in my 40s. This whole thing of labeling people into categories is somewhat foreign to me. I mean my generation over here did this as well to a degree (and I admit I never got it), but it appears this has become much more dominant thin (at least at the other side of the pacific).
I also tend to aggressively ignore things I deam stupid. But my children will be teenagers soo, guess I'll have to put some time into researching these kind of things.
Bro yall labeled people too quit acting like it's so :pinches nose: unthinkable! I don't even know where you're from and I know that's bullshit.
Here we are. Adapt. Take responsibility.
