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.

I was gonna say, I don't think metal has a higher rate of nazis. You look at country and you basically have to accept they're all MAGAts (another reason to just avoid country). I think most people in metal are pretty progressive, that's why they're in metal. Honestly Dero Goi is a great example: he jumped down a conservative rabbit hole and left metal.

If anything, it's just that the nazis are always a vocal minority and when they're into metal it's some confirmation bias for close minded people who don't like metal.

No, the issue is that metal has a lot of iconography which outright attracts Nazis and the like (e.g. heavy use of crosses, mentions of war and sometimes glorification of ancestry, viking culture, classically western icons like medieval knights and the Crusades, etc).

We have to push really hard against their co-opting of our symbols if we don't want "Skinheads: Metalic Boogaloo" to become a thing.
