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.

MODERATORS
Yeah, it's definitely hard. A couple I can think of:
The real issue is finding an anime that doesn't oversexualize anyone and still has lead female characters. If you're looking for early teen I think the US actually makes better shows:
There's more I could recommend, but for a teenager daughter those all probably have better plot, character development, and female leads than most of what I can think of for anime (although being a guy there are probably a number of anime I'm just not aware of).
Dr Stone also has some questionable aesthetics
Oh yeah, but I guess I was giving it a pass cause it goes both ways. Both the women and men have ridiculous designs.
Also, even though they definitely feel sexual, the actual dialogue doesn't focus on it too much (at least from what I can recall). It helps that the main character is really only interested in science.
Edit: It also has the issue that pretty much every major character is a guy.
Yeah, is always annoying when you've got the trope of
Like gender is a class and not half the population.
It's because the artist historically did NSFW content
Doesn't that count for a lot of artists?
Pretty sure in Japan it's a trope that mangaka would do Hentai dude projects under a different name. I would judge an anime/manga on its content, and not by something unrelated.
..... Oh
I just wanna point out that while cowboy bebop is incredible, Fae Valentine's outfit is skimpy to the point that she's wandering around with her shorts unbuttoned in basically every scene where she's not in a disguise (and she's only staying in that top through the power of double-sided tape). By modern standards it's really not great towards the women characters (except possibly ed).
Komi-san is a great show whenever one particular character is not onscreen, but the parts where that character is onscreen mean I don't think it can go on this list.
Oh no, what did I block from my memory?
Yamai Ren. The character whose entire gimmick is that her horrible behavior is played off with "it's funny because she's a lesbian."
