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 think we should stop saying empathy and start saying compassion (again.)
Most people don't know what the differences between sympathy and empathy are and get confused whenever they hear empathy. "You mean sympathy?"
Just say compassion. I get the 'dm' crowd has chosen their wording, but it sucks and we can change it.
Replace every instance of 'empathy' with compassion and everyone will understand you better, but you won't be virtue signaling for your crowd.
