A community for comic lovers who just want to get away from politics and gloom and doom.
- Rule 1 - Be civil.
- Rule 2 - Don't be uncivil.
Posting guidelines:
- No political comics. This generally includes anything referencing whatever bullshit Trump is up to, but also includes the megacorps. Essentially if the comic is about how the world today sucks, it doesn't belong here.
- Where possible, tag the title with [comic name]. This refers to the name of the artist or overall comic, not the title of the specific strip.
- Tag NSFW / NSFL / AI content accordingly.

If literally everything related to gender were political you couldn't show any humans in a comic without it being political. This comic treats a nominally political topic in a non political way. It only flags as being political because it's in the current zeitgeist. Interracial couples used to be a hot button political issue as well and that doesn't read as political anymore.
Everything is political, the important thing is where to draw the line. It’s all nuanced.
It does when the comic implies being MtF classifies as "girl" in the bet
And yea, what is political (or rather, how much) changes with time and the current opinions on people. That’s exactly what I’m saying, this comic would probably not be political in a few dozen years, when (hopefully imo) the large majority of people stop being offended by social progress
