Agreed. Leave the existing characters alone as far as gender/race and let them evolve. Lets get some new and well written characters who broaden the spectrum of who is represented in comics. A richer comics universe is what is needed, and that can be done well this way.

This is gold. Call me.

Fair enough

Never actually been to Vegas so thanks. Not really interested in that scene but I am all for knowing random stuff. Honestly though, that really makes it worse. Stand here, shake that 9/10 or 10/10 ass, and here is some liquor to loosen those legs. Honestly, I am sure that the "hot bitchez" will show up anyhow. I…

I am not really a banner waver for women's rights or anything. I just try to be the kind of person I expect others to be. I get it wrong often in others opinions but I really do try. I am white, male, college educated, straight—so rarely on the bad side of things. I will be honest with you, this really bothers me. If…

Good point about the troop disparity limiting options. I prefer to think in terms of ethics rather than morality, but I think you make an honorable argument. See what I did there? Nice talking with you.

I see your point. How about this one though? Combat on the field of battle gives both combatants a chance to win the day. Assassination robs the result of any honor.

I am totally irritated by the Thor issue as well and totally willing to risk the wrath of those who insist everyone thinks correctly to say so. Thanks for writing my feelings Rob.

Good read. Thanks!

Pretty good summation but I would like to add that the Japanese did a lot of self censoring during the 1800s to avoid being stigmatized as barbaric by the western powers that some in Japan wished to emulate.

Then I will be willing to bet you wish you had never posted. Curious to know, but as a linguist are you able to talk yourself to the front of the unemployment check line? Ha ha, that was a little joke because you seem like you could use some cheering up due to extreme rectal aching. I would have said butthurt but I…

No, but forcing your cultural mores and ideals down the throats of others smacks of elitism and imperialism. This is a far cry from human rights abuse friend, and if we were in a thread that condemned the "disappearing" of political dissidents in China I would agree with you. This is a lady who wants to show other…

It is still civilized. Tend to your own backyard first, wring hands over injustice abroad next.

I am honor sworn to combat hyperbole wherever it may lurk.

Appalled? Really? That is the same word I use to respond to child abuse. Weirdo.

I'm thinking that maybe if you don't live in Japan, you should let the Japanese decide what works for them. If you do live in Japan, then please carry on.

Because make a new character that is a minority woman and pat yourself on the fucking back. Leave Thor alone.

The same can be said of the criticism. Click-bait.

They would have been denied a run that would have counted if the umps had not fucked up.
