- 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).

Men will literally menstruate 24/7 instead of going to therapy
Fake news we also have 40k lore
Dude. No need to call us out like that.
In America therapy costs a lot of money and you get no guarantee you'll see someone competent.
Very true and I speak from experience. Still worth it to try, if you need help. I did eventually find one that helped me a lot.
So is the answer to give up or keep trying?
yes, because I will be extra sad if I cant afford rent.
The answer is to fight for a healthcare system that covers all health (including mental) instead of trying to be the most effective funnel of money from the poor into the coffers of the rich.
Sadly, the people who are most lacking in mental health support are largely the ones who actively fight against such a structure (because propaganda works).
Tell me how we do that exactly? Just keep voting and hope that some kind of policy goes through and hopefully before you finally blow your brains out?
You seem to think that box #2 is the last hope. I'm not ready to give up on that one yet. But if things get so bad that the ballot box truly doesn't matter any more, we still have two more to defend liberty with. I hope we never again need the fourth box.
Throwing your hands in the air and saying "it's too rigged, there's no hope" is exactly what the opps want.
I am not giving up. But just shrugging and say 'go see a therapist' is useless.
A lot of people really don't get it.
Therapists cost around $100hr where I'm at. It's the height of privilege and tone deafness to just toss out "get therapy" at every depressed fucker out there. The same people screaming for empathy seem to lack their own.
Men will literally ~~menstruate~~ fap 24/7 instead of going to therapy
If anyone is mentruating 24/7, I would suggest the hospital.
ftfy lol
You're not doing anything by saying "go to therapy." If you really cared, pay for someone's therapy.
