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 just don't want to watch another anime about the chosen child having to go to battle when adults are around and can do it for them. Old people sitting around while a bunch of 12yo are going on a world saving "adventure".
You can consume whatever media you like, I prefer not having this in mine.
This is kind of an odd comment onin a thread about things that exist in reality that we don't want to see...
I think theres a disconnect here, Im talking about Gundam and others where 12 year olds being subjected to war is an unambiguously bad thing, leaving the "chosen one" and their friends dead or mentally scarred.
Yeah I don't want to watch while like that. I'll watch the Gundam series' without the kid pilots. While well done, I just don't need children to be used like that. Heck even with Friren I was kind of annoyed that Fern and what's his face were kids. Fern grows up and is 18 a bit into it but still...
I just don't consume much media for the moral lesson or the tough ethical dilemma questions anymore. I just want to have a good time with what little time I do have for it.
