Well, way to strike while the fuku is hot... I guess they lost their way for a couple of years.

These days all the characters should be well-grounded, self-actualized adults with slightly sad backstories and no unbalanced character traits, but they should still sport looks that make for awesome cosplay. It’s a very ‘tween demographic’ take on the characters, which is fine because comics are for children and…

“AM you demented sonuvabitch god, you!” Honestly, I wouldn’t be terribly out of sorts if Ellison told me that my writing was shit. I re-bought all the Hornbooks just a month before he died, and though I love re-reading him, he was never particularly good with language.

They’re not cowards - what would they have to be afraid of? Nothing is going to happen to them if they speak up, so they’re not scared, they’re lazy and not under any significant pressure to do anything.

There’s really no excuse - the rest of the world really has an obligation to understand and show sensitivity to the US culture of history and racism

I’m sorry friend; I do not know where you live, so I cannot advise you on your country’s situation. I suspect it may be the quaint and charming country of Madeupistan?

I’ve seen people of most sexes lie and cheat. There’s no magic bullet to suss out truth immediately in any case, but since women are currently in general less trusted, less listened to, and less supported, it makes sense to take an abused woman’s side as a starting point, and then be mindful of whatever else comes up.…

It’s perfectly reasonable - if there’s any obvious reason to disbelieve a woman, I would do that, but in a case where it’s just a stranger’s word against another stranger’s word, I’ll believe the woman, since it is far more difficult to lie about being abused, than it is to lie about not doing it. I’m not talking…

Can you show us the other side of the crazy conversation you’re having here, because you’re not talking to me. Nobody here has called for dishing out justice or any kind of action; most people are already chill and saying that for now, when it’s one stranger’s word against another’s, I’ll believe the woman. The least…

No, perfectly logical and practical in a culture marked by endemic and rampant sexism. Most cultures today are huge on doubting and belittling women’s testimony or experiences, so the fastest way to work at rectifying that is to side with the woman when in doubt.

Look... the name Brigitte is wrong to start with. The actual name is Birgitta. Norwegian is a dumb language that is a mistake and makes mistakes.

Now you sound like the people who go to great lengths to make up shit why women are lying... ‘Believing the women’ means that when in doubt, side with the woman - it doesn’t mean trying to come up with hypotheticals for why everything the man says is a malicious lie.

“Is the suggestion that, if a man had somehow grown up without any contact with a woman, he would be A-OK with abuse?” Well in that case he’s living in the apocalyptic world of XX - The Last Woman, so he should care less about abuse and more about finding that magic monkey. 

“It was basically accepted as fact by fans”... what the shit is this

Oh good. I hope they’ll focus on how Dr Manhattan blew up Krypton and killed the Waynes.

I wouldn’t be surprised, but at the same time I don’t think that I’d draw the conclusion that this was something that happens a wide scale... Whenever a Kinja affiliate finds “Terrible people” or discovers that “the internet is going nuts” it’s typically just one or two tweets that they’ve come across.

This was a hot pile of creepy words to say what good commentators managed to say with: “Look at her nose actually not clip into her face.” Done.

I like the idea of a train tumor, but I’m not sure how it could fit a narrative.

“because of the sociopolitical milieu that these stories emerge from, they are dotted with choices that look odd from the perspective of 2018, particularly in regards to questions of gender and sexuality.” The perspective of 2018? You mean the perspective of some woke American blogger - the actual anime and manga of…

On the whole, typos are pretty irrelevant to point out. Still, if you’re going to throw around prestidigitation willy nilly...
