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.

              This is a comic strip on the internet, chill.
It is toxic to have the response the woman depicted in said comic had over a physical feature that someone has no control over. What genders are involved don't actually matter.

Mate/partner selection based on physical characteristics is seen all through nature, why would humans be any different? And why would you label that as toxic?

I'm going to assume you aren't arguing in bad faith and just have poor reading comprehension. In the comic the woman doesn't just reject the bird, she does so in an unnecessarily cruel way. It's fine if you have a type, but if you make people who aren't that type feel bad about themselves for things outside of their control: that makes you toxic. If you can't see that I don't know what to tell you.

People are always going to feel bad when being rejected, I was really responding to the underlying criticism of women rejecting shorter partners and not the actual exaggeration used in the comic.

And I'm the asshole for my "No fat chicks" T-shirt and "Federal Booby Inspector" hat?

I feel that you're missing the point.

Licking your butthole is also seen in nature...

So… now you’re kink shaming people?

Why do you have to sexualize everything? I just like my butthole nice and clean.
