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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Radically centrist because they will be fucking fed up with all this fake meme bullshit.
You'll also have to take into account that parents are waking up to the dangers of social media et al, so one possible future is that kids will be less poisoned by it. It's already happening in some places, children are being forbidden to use phones at school, some countries are outright banning social media from children, etc. etc.
Hmm, radicalization doesn't come through social media. Sure, it makes the process faster, but when you get fucked over, you don't really care about your phone telling you you're getting fucked over. Kids also have an incredible word of mouth. At least where I live the radicalized divide has been pretty strong with 35% voting for the most left/right wing party available to them.
So get outta here with your radicalized centrist crap.
This doesn't seem like much of a solution to me, they're still being raised by people using social media, and will be thrown into it at some point. The obligatory age checks are going to make the surveillance state way worse.
