The rules are simple:

- 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.

Doing boycotts like this one is putting in time and having targets. No one thinks a single day of boycotting will change the world, it's part of the process.
One thing that definitely won't get results is listening to people like you who shit on every effort to get a movement going, which is happening. There will be a next step, and another, and maybe one of those steps could be boycotting a single company or product like the Montgomery bus boycott or Pepsi during apartheid.
Be constructive and not negative.
I laid out what an effective boycott looks like with a specific recent example that accomplished what it set out to do. I'm not sure how much more constructive I can be. What would you consider to be constructive if not that?
People have absolutely gotten to a point where they don't want any criticism even if it is meant to help us come up with plans.
No plan or idea should be single in origin and it's by the back and forth we find plans... But people are either right or wrong with no in-between in western culture.
Maybe, "This is good but y'know . . [example]" more than "this is dumb, a real [example]"
