Damon Young gets to decide what Damon Young posts because VerySmartBrothas is Damon Young’s own blog. Meaning there is no editorial board, just Damon Young and his retaliatory racism.

Objectively, whether you agree with the author’s position or not, the article is inherently saying not that Marvel is “apolitical” but rather that they are disappointed that Marvel is not actively promoting the political positions that the author espouses. It is not wrong or inappropriate to say this, but that is the…

You’ve hit it on the head. My initial reaction to the article was “I’m shocked, SHOCKED I say, that a company trying to sell products to the widest possible readership would want to tone down overtly political statements! What is this world coming too!?”

YOU though clearly do.

I apologize if I offend you, but respectfully - you’re wrong. It is counter-productive to integrating LGBT persons into society as a whole to keep crashing cymbals together every time there is a “gay moment” in a movie. I get it - you feel underrepresented. But let’s be real for a second - it’s not a checklist or a…

Though it really ought not be.

“Whoa, whoa whoa...pump the hate-brakes there Fox and Friends” god I laughed out loud at that in the theater.

I have a couple of lesbian friends and all the girlfriends they’ve brought around have been pretty sour so, in my small world and sample size, this checks out for me.

Agreed. I’ve read the Manifesto several times; always makes me laugh at first, and then cry at how many people ate shit over the past century and a half trying to implement its concepts, most of which run contrary to human nature and basic evolutionary biology.

Yeah, it’s actually how you get straight people to buy them too. I ate up the great stuff with Apollo and Midnighter because it was good. When you write good stories with characters who just happen to be minorities of any kind people will buy it.

You want the honest answer? You just write good stories. You don’t write stories about a character’s blackness or gayness or transgenderness or whateverness. Avery Brooks of DS9 made this point remarkably when he was asked about playing a black captain on Star Trek. He said he wasn’t there to play a BLACK captain. He…

No. This not the time to worry about imaginary and hypothetical innocent men.

That is a really problematic take.

So let’s make it very clear here.

Dont mention the children who get nothing on Christmas... it makes me sad.

When you think of the depictions of Santa, though, he usually isnt bringing the extravagant, ostentatious gifts. His are the understated ones, that are quietly special. Besides, look at the kinds of things people rationalize away in these shows. Alien invasions... vampire attacks... a high school being eaten by a…

It's sort of weird, but they're right. You need to know what you like, and it really helps in a relationship. If people can stop being such prudes, and communicate and understand, we're going to have healthier relationships. And the whole "not all women have vaginas" comment is bullshit. Do you really think they were…
