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

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

It's societally normative, as is heterosexuality. Correlative, not causative.

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

Or some queer people are too sensitive. Some people live to get offended, they choose to get offended about damn near everything everyone says.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah it's weird how people holding bigoted views are also often easily offended. People are people ig...

As long as they stereotyping gayness and they are gay it kinda seems ok. Laughing about your self is okay i think

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.
