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.

But it's not about minorities and not about characteristics that people were born with and can't change (if they wanted to) about themselves.
I mean it could very easily be (another internet favourite term) a dogwhistle. It's not actually about sea lions...
I don't think that's the case here but it's easy to see their point
In the universe presented in the comic: Sea lions are born sea lions, can't change that, and are sentient to the point of having the capacity for language.
I get your previous point about the language, but now you're just actively trying to spin this into something it isn't.
Like, should we really feel bad for cartoon sealions?
My point isn't we should feel bad for cartoon sea lions, it's that it's not much of a reach for someone to read this and think they are talking about minorities. "Damn right! I should be able to say I don't like (race) without being hassled for it!"
