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 would like art critics more if they were explaining things that they noticed instead of telling me how I should feel.
It's kinda cool to me that there are people in the world who can really nerd out on a given piece. Explaining the style, history, context etc. That is useful to me.
Movie and book reviews are not like that however. Usually it is "I didn't like this, you shouldn't like it, let me rant about 20 things I didn't like about it that are not really relevant to JUSTIFY my subjective opinion that is also objective and you are a moron if you disagree".
Where are you reading your reviews? Most of the reviews and critiques I read online and in the odd newspaper skew positive.
Comment sections are often negative I find, though. Case in point I'm only commenting to disagree with you, so... I guess I should watch what I say lol.
Anyway hopefully you take this the right way. I feel like you're referring to a source of critique that I'm blind to
Rotten tomatoes. I don't even know why I bother anymore.
