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 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.
That kind of categorization just seems to lead to a kind of elitism. (Victoria 2 players are of course the most elite gamers)
I think it’s time to recognize that “video game” is a medium. Being a “gamer” is the same as being a “reader” or “someone who likes watching movies.” Specifying genre is what might make things more clear.
Like I’m a “gamer” that plays mostly obscure indie art games, isometric CRPGs, Bethesda RPGs, and will try an FPS/adventure game if the story looks compelling enough. I’m not the same kind of “gamer” as someone who plays the Ubisoft releases, or sports games, or hero shooters.
Like ultimately all of this is shit we do for fun - why do we need to categorize and judge people?
