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 don't think I understand what you mean by "race pandering". Is it a kind of pandering? Pandering to whom? And how?
I call it pandering specifically because it's disingenuous. It's not a real attempt at racial inclusivity it's going "Ah fuck we're getting bitched at for not being inclusive. Fuck it this characters black now. They act exactly the same because we can't be bothered to actually put in the work to make the cultural changes, but, good enough. Fuck you"
And that's why it's pandering. They literally just change the color of their skin without giving a single fuck about cultural identities.
Edit: Removed my first paragraph because I phrased it wrong.
OK I didn't know that's what happened.
