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.

Remember, if anyone is ever attracted to you, they must be fetishising you!
I'd say it's obvious that that's not what the comic is saying but it's probably hard to tell the difference if no one has ever been attracted to you.
That would be a pretty trashy thing to say, indeed; is this from personal experience?
Sick burn brother
I forgive you for starting it. Please don't fetishise me, I am a human bean!
Don't quit your day job for standup
How can you talk to your brother in such a way? What would Mom think?
almost salvaged it with this one
The more your relationships are about appearance, the less you can know about yourself and them since you are certain to not chase a partner to be a trophy among other effects
It's not about being a "trophy". I just want to be with someone that I'm physically attracted to, and who is physically attracted to me. I don't think that's unreasonable. Obviously we need to have compatible personalities/interests beyond that but it is a big factor.
You choose how big. Once you are mature or old, you realise how little it means
You don't choose that. It's different for everybody.
That's like saying people choose whether or not to be gay or bi versus being straight.
I've never been able to force myself to be romantically interested in some one I wasn't attracted to. I've tried. I'm pretty sure I've been on the opposite side of that as well and it made for a shitty relationship.
