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 disagree, we don't speak Latin either, but many of our current words are derived from Latin words, and those were introduced indirectly through French from the Norman invasion, but it's not like we're going to throw out all Latin roots because they no longer apply.
I'm fine with evolving our language, but I think it's silly to just throw out etymology and historical context entirely. I think "man" can have multiple meanings and be used as a gender neutral suffix, I'd never consider someone toxic for using it (unless they're just being as asshole about it).
