I’d honestly rather have a show set around a group of youths who are contemporaries of Kyoshi in her prime, rather than another show where the Avatar is the lead. We’ve already had two fantastic shows about two very different types of Avatar, and it’d be cool to have a show about a “normal” group that allows a…

As a mostly hetro adult male who consumes porn and enjoys a boobs in his face once in a while I still find it annoying when Marvel and DC exploit T and A for sales, and had always thought lower tier labels catered to the neanderthal male with nothing but pinups pretending to be comics.

I mean really, how IS the writing…

I followed the link to see how bad the Cash Grab comic was, and its sooo fucking bad. I also feel dirty for giving it a click, because the site they linked to is praising it and saying its gonna be great to have a comic that’s not afraid to have boobs and un-PC jokes. And the page of the comic on display is literally…

“the time the normally liberal Captain America was retconned as a Hydra mole didn’t help”

And I’ll add that Barrucci is functionally claiming he lack even a cursory awareness of the what’s going on in that industry. I am not super high information comic book industry consumer (high enough to read io9 and comment on an article or two) and even I know enough to know who Cecil is and that he’s toxic.

Leaving aside the Comicsgate stuff — although, fuck Comicsgate — but breasts don’t work that way. Given how important breasts are in Dynamite comics, you’d think someone would have a bit better understanding of them.

(See Sonja’s, I don’t know what ... water balloon, I guess.)

“Neither of us realized the cover would be so polarizing.”

Oh, fuck off. Dynamite’s been cozying up to Comicsgate this way for over a year, and people have been calling them out on it for just as long. They’ve been taking advantage of how lucrative the movement’s bigger-name projects can be, but that strategy finally…

“neither one of us realized the cover would be so polarizing" is their way of saying "I'm sorry you got offended". Also note that in the tweet they didn't apologize at all. Smh.

*Outcome may vary on the jury the picked...

“Ethnic intimidation” is another term for walking around doing things while black.
I live for the day when “I felt threatened”, and being “terrified” cease to be the free pass some people want it to be.
Cry all you want, honey, you did what you did and you seemed just fine to me while you were doing it.

The Root Staff should just have a live like thread stickied at the top of the page for incidents like this. This is a constant occurrence and it is not going to stop anytime soon.

LMAO, gonna be very hard to convince anyone that you weren’t interested in escalating when you specifically put yourself in greater danger while also introducing a firearm to the equation... and then hyperventilating while holding said firearm because your mind was running away from you.

Same here - cyclist and I will kick the shit outta your quarter panel if you run up on me in a bike lane or across the hike/bike trail. I’m white and a woman though, so I’m sure Kombat Karen would just flip me the bird like everyone else. Glad she’s facing charges. 

It looks very much like a way some people settle arguments in the good ole US of A, these days. And that’s reason enough for me to never want to set foot in the “land of the free”. Knowing that everybody and their neighbours can carry a gun would make me go paranoid!

I was gonna say the same thing, haha. I was like “Wow, good trigger discipline. You don’t see that very often in crazy civilians.”

A lot of my Facebook “friends” have been trying the “watch the whole video and you’ll see she was totally justified and goaded into having to pull her gun by those rude people!” argument.

When I ask them the equivalent of, “Is pulling a gun how we should settle arguments now?” I rarely get a reply.

If she hadn’t been carrying a gun, she wouldn’t have reached for a gun to solve a dispute. Guns don’t make anything better, they make people’s bad moments worse.

Seriously. White supremacist groups have been advising their members to join the military for training. The military is aware that this is happening, but really hasn’t done much about it.

When this bitch got back in her car and ran, you could see a new form of terror over her eyes...”oh shit, I’m a Karen, and they got me on video”
