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.

Adults are also allowed to choose not to. It's cool.
It's the opposite of cool. Cringey as fuck, is what it is.
If you don't want to use a word, fucking don't. Use a fucking synonym, for fuck's sake, or phrase it differently.
But don't go making your bullshit harder to read just so you can justify to yourself using a word that makes you feel uncomfortable because you're too damaged to function properly in society. Doing that you're being the worst kind of hypocrite, because you're only lying to yourself.
Cool..? Fucking pathetic is the word you're looking for.
A lot of behaviors are learned and people have learned that using profanity in most places gets you in trouble. I don't think it's fair to berate anyone for what is essentially a social expectation in many other circles.
Good thing Lemmy isn't like that. But, please, lighten the fuck up.
It's just the opposite social expectation here. And honestly it bothers me not because some people do it but because it feels like american puritanism taking over online spaces because it's even in screenshots. Like holy shit you're quoting someone just leave the swearing in.
