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.

JK Rowling literally wrote a slave caste that loves being in servitude. Even putting aside the transphobia of her most recent past, the Harry Potter books are not leftist friendly.
The concept of a species of intelligent creature that is naturally inclined to servitude and loves it is actually a very interesting concept. There's nothing wrong with exploring such a concept in a fictional setting.
Not that they were really explored in the Harry Potter books, but I could certainly see such an exploration being fascinating, since it is wrong to enslave a people and it is wrong to prevent them from doing what makes them happy and fulfilled...which happens to be serving.
