The letters of the word “crime” on a comics-magazine cover shall never be appreciably greater in dimension than the other words contained in the title. The word “crime” shall never appear alone on a cover.

In every instance good shall triumph over evil and the criminal punished for his misdeeds.

Crimes shall never be presented in such a way as to create sympathy for the criminal, to promote distrust of the forces of law and justice, or to inspire others with a desire to imitate criminals.

Ever explored a new hobby and just as you begin to find your footing, you discover that half the community is declaring it’s over / the worst possible time to embrace the hobby? 😅

Really?
You REALLY don't get this?
Do any of you submitting have any idea what's going on with the hobby right now? 1 mean.......even the slightest hint?
