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.

Plenty of hobbies have majorly bad actors. At least once a year there's someone else being outed as at best a sex pest, and often a straight up solicitor of minors, within the relatively small sphere of "people who play video games for clout" (speedrunners, streamers, indie game devs, esports folks, and assorted ecelebs).

The difference with firearms is the potential for direct loss of human life. Also important to note is that misuse is also much harder to cover up with a gun. Not like sexual harassment where if no one speaks up there is often minimal evidence to be found by the public.

But neither of those have any bearing on the amount of bad actors present. If anything they would indicate to me a lower ratio of bad actors, as fucked up as it feels to say that.

I wasn't talking about the amount of bad actors. It's the severity of what a bad actor can do. I understand your sexual harassment angle but I feel like that's just trying to sidestep what I was saying.
