Wiggly mouse-drawn comics involving the gayest from around the world.

I’ve set this up impromptu, but this will do.

Rules for comics are (in no particular order):

General Blåhaj rules apply; i.e., don’t be an bigot and/or arse. Be kind, be gay and do crimes.
If your comic has anything that could be seen as triggering, please mark it with spoiler tags such as a Content/Trigger Warning (CW/TW). Gore and blood must be marked NSFW; not following this will have the comic removed.
Draw comics by yourself, or credit the original makers in a comment.
Follow comic writing guidelines Don’t copypaste (vary a bit!), or trace. Disabling anti-aliasing and avoiding the brush tool in MS paint will help.
Low effort posts (hastily made, lack of basic artistic effort) are discouraged. All posts must be made digitally (so, no pictures of your drawings).
ENBI (Eliminating Normie, Boring Ideas) - don’t use common tropes like the following. Be creative!

ENBI list

Straight Pride Parade (SPP) These are banned for the time:

What did you say?!: A comic where a ball representing a bad identity reveals said identity and is then attacked by other balls.

Red Ally: A comic in which an “ally” defends their friends - by committing acts of violence against phobic balls.

Anything involving troll identities: Comics involving MAPs, superstraights or similar “identities” are not allowed. Don’t give these a platform; they will be removed.

You guys are getting paid?: A classic meme template.

Re-arranging letter format: These are jokes involving the letters that make up a label being rearranged in different ways, with balls with rearranged stripes to match (with at least one “AAAAAA” ball being thrown in for good measure.).

Ace Dragon’s Lair: Comics in this tier are currently discouraged (often due to overuse online), but may return in the future.

We know, ace people like garlic bread. Likewise, formats such as bisexuals with cake are also discouraged.
Meta comics (comics detailing the state of the sidelemmy or other users) are not allowed.
No commercial self-promotion, especially on big social media outside the fediverse.
No infighting. Arguing over semantics about identities such as gender, sexuality, etc is not allowed here. Clarification is allowed, but don’t infight and discourse.
Rules of Reposting
List

To be repostable, the comic must:
- Follow the tutorial rules

Blåhaj Lemmy

A general purpose lemmy instance for gender diverse folk and their allies.

Blåhaj Lemmy

Blåhaj Lemmy is brought to you by the kind folk at Blåhaj Zone, and while anyone is free to register for an account here, please bear in mind that this is a server that is very protective of our minority members and bigotry of any variety will be squashed with great prejudice.

We have several alternative lemmy frontends you can use. Just login with your regular blahaj login details.

We have a public matrix channel for all Blahaj users at #blahaj:chat.blahaj.zone

We also have a matrix channel for gender diverse folk and our allies! If you’re already a matrix user, you can head straight to our application room https://matrix.to/#/#gv-apply:chat.blahaj.zone, or by searching for #gv-apply:chat.blahaj.zone from within your matrix client.

If you’re new to matrix, you can find some more details and an instruction video on how to get up and running here https://chat.blahaj.zone/c/genderverse/

Community Guidelines

Blåhaj Lemmy is a space where everyone should feel able to participate safely, and to that end, our community is built on the guiding philosophies of empathy, inclusion and acceptance.

Empathy

We want our community members to be guided by compassion and empathy for others.

Examples of behaviour that are contrary to this philosophy are personal attacks, insults, doxing etc. If your comment is designed to hurt someone, this isn’t the space for it.

Inclusion and Acceptance

Embracing inclusion and acceptance means listening when people tell you who they are and what their needs are. It means not telling people that you know their experiences better than they do. It means not gatekeeping experiences of identities of others. It means no bigotry such as racism, sexism, anti LGBT commentary, ableism etc. It means doing your best to ensure that you don’t over-talk the voices of folk who don’t share your privileges.

Supporting Blåhaj Lemmy

After much hesitation, we have a Ko Fi to enable people to help with supporting some of the running costs associated with our instances.

Providing a safe space for our community is the goal, so please only consider donating if you are in a position to do so without any financial stress.
