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.

No, it is.
Simply asking someone for their number is not harassment.
Repeatedly asking for someone’s number after being told no is.
There isn’t any nuance to this situation.
Telling someone they're beautiful when they think you're gross is creepy/harassment.
"when they think you're gross"
How can I know if someone thinks I'm gross if I haven't spoken to them yet? I should just assume I'm gross, always?
Usually when they get the torches out and organize the rest of the angry villagers I know that they don't think highly of me.
That's the fun part, you can't. Don't assume they think you're gross, but do remember that you don't know what they think.
Wrong, incel.
Or 3rd wave femanist. Hard to tell the difference sometimes 🤔
(For examples, head over to TwoXChromosones for nearly identical hot takes as the commenter above yours)
So basically dateing is just Russian roulette with extra steps.
But if I tell them they're beautiful and it turns out they think I'm gross I could go to prison for harassment! Am I really just supposed to roll the dice like that?
Harassment isn't a crime, so you're probably safe from prison.
Oh, you're right! I'll only get sued and probably lose my job. That makes it okay then.
But just to think that none of that would have happened of someone sexier than I was had done the exact same things I had done!
