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.

What is adding doom and gloom? That's the metric that really matters here. According to the sub, anyway. I do enjoy a technical definition conversation, and with the majority thing you've probably hit on a workable metric for a sub more interested in bridging a divide.
However, this sub seems to be more about "Hey, we just don't wanna feel bad about current events while reading these, okay?" It seems that a mere reference to a trans person does not make most people feel bad. And that actually correlates with polls of the general population.
