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.

Let's get some examples there chief.
Link what you think is "fine" and has been labeled hate speech
As a Floridian, the issue is pretty apparent. Conservatives are outlawing the current teachings about race in our schools all under the guise of STOPPING racism.
Show me the curriculum that teaches black kids they're victims and white kids that they're all racist.
All righty -- I didn't realize I somehow found myself in a 3 week old thread. In case it happens to anyone else, I'm going to send my reply anyways, but I'm not going to reply directly to him because I see no point in engaging with shithead racists 3-weeks later!
The school he used as an example:
https://www.dcnewsnow.com/news/local-news/virginia/loudoun-county/loudoun-co-schools-report-nearly-900-racial-slur-and-hate-speech-incidents-this-past-school-year/
Uh ... 900 uses of racial slurs / racist behavior reported and more than half of them being the N-word ... seems to me like maybe they deserved to taught that they're being racist because ... [shocker] they were being racist!
Also, ONE fucking example of a moderately sized (~435,000) suburb isn't the smoking gun they think it is, even if it turned out to be accurate (which, this isn't).
Details on the specific incident they're likely whinging about though:

You'll notice that there is zero proof of what he said, just that right wing whack jobs lost their fucking minds and got stirred into a fury because of the CRT boogeyman.
