There are so many levels one could answer at. First off, we don’t want every community to exist on lemmy.world. Just because it doesn’t exist there doesn’t mean you need to make it. Second, I consider graphic novels/comics/manga to be just as out of fashion as books these days. AFAIK kids barely read at all anymore. Third, I consider drawing much harder than writing, but that’s a personal thing. Heck, both are trivially generated by AI these days, so the idea of having a superiority complex about one seems silly to me. Artists should stick together. In the same medium, if they want to.

I don’t know why you decided that this is a superiority complex, I created this community as a place where people can express themselves in the old way, because I believe that such stories have something unique, because they can be not just stories, but something can unite people, since the feelings of the author can be understood through the text, which can then grow into communication, and then perhaps into something more.

If you don’t like seeing visual art next to written art, that’s a personal preference. I don’t think it says anything about the state of people’s brains that one community is larger than another, if anything, visuals are probably just easier to market in a world with a LOT of “content” going around. But at the end of the day, there just aren’t a whole lotta people using Lemmy. So I’m not surprised when you say a specific community doesn’t have a lot of activity. It could be that people interested in stories just have more established communities on [competing sites].

That’s not the point: I like these comics, but I also like to read stories that I didn’t find here, and I don’t trust other places because there’s no way to know if an AI story is created or not.
