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.

While Rogue looks normal, her superpower is somewhat disabling. If she touches anyone, she will cause them harm.
X3 highlights this.
Gloves.
The fact that magneto used his powers to groom her as a child doesn't help anyone in the story.
You’re not doing it on purpose but your comment does highlight the ease people dismiss the social experience of hidden disability.
Oh your that (weird) person always wearing gloves.
Why are you so sensitive about your gloves?, just take em off.
Someone tried to rip off her gloves the other day and they are in the hospital now.
Comments in this style are more common for teens but the sense of not belonging even if for something at first glance mundane lasts well into adulthood.
Additionally, gloves and long sleeves only solve incidental contact; she can't be intimate with someone, for example.
