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.

Yeah, and it was also a dog whistle to conservatives to feel under represented and "oppressed" by the presence of a non white person as a superhero.
The people you're talking about can easily clarify it by saying "I don't like it, but I'm happy to see more women and people of color in these roles". Bish bash bosh, not a racist.
For example:
That Miss Marvel show didn't appeal to me because it was clearly a coming of age story made for young teens.
Okay, but that was you. There were thousands more broskis online that hated it simply because it reminded them that minorities exist.
Sure. But you can tell what they are because they say things like "the agenda" and "forced diversity," or spend time getting mad that a Marvel series had the nerve to be made for young people.
I didn't go see it because I'm burnt out on Marvel movie seemingly made MadLibs style with the same 3 predictable plots and a word bank of characters and settings.
Location: Your mom's house
Ok someone else pick the characters and plot.
no nuance, please... we aren't divided enough.
Or "I didn't like it, and I don't need a reason why"
Is that really how you talk to people?
My friends don't typically demand I justify my opinions.
What? How do you have a conversation with people without explaining your thoughts? In my head your conversations go like this lol
Person: Hey Ilovethebomb, you see the new marvel movie.
You: Yeah, I didn't like it.
Person: Really, why not?
You: I don't need a reason why.
So again, is that really how you talk to people. It can't be right?
You keep having conversations in your head.
Can you hear that whistling sound? No? Does that mean it isn't there?
They have Homelander, what more do they need?
I'm allowed to not like things without having to justify myself.
