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.

It's a verb and it's "hatewatching" ๐
But ... why?
If I don't enjoy something, I just turn on something I do enjoy.
Or is it really because they watched so much they don't have anything they enjoy watching anymore?
Sometimes you gotta let steam off by yelling at a show. Better than yelling at people.
And then it bleeds into the internet and communities for fans of the show/movie/game get overrun with people who just want to complain. Complaining gets more engagement than enjoying and the hate rises to the top. And I'm sitting here wondering again: Why don't you just watch things you enjoy and then go lift weights and/or talk to someone (good friend or therapist)?
Me and my wife, in a hotel after a long day, because we can't cast YouTube to the TV (which is becoming less common).
