Not posting the link etc, but Im tired of the Frank Cho "Outrage" series of gag sketch covers.
It feels like a joke that's been done to death and now feels like trolling for money.

How is it that me posting "don't be antisemitic and erase Jewish presence in anything" ends up being "controversial" on social media and me getting venom spewed in my face from antizionist/antisemites who seem to associate ANYTHING Jewish with Israel?
Seems they prove my point.....

Way too many comic book fans have parasocial relationships with FICTIONAL CHARACTERS to the point that if anything deviates from their headcanons or something they don't like happens, they resort to anger and threats.
That's not healthy.

Crucially, by upholding their constitution and the rule of law, Brazil discovered that support for Bolsonaro evaporated save for a dwindling minority of die-hards and dead-enders. Because Brazilians see Bolsonaro as a criminal and a loser, they've largely moved on from him.

Cruelty in the name of virtue is still cruelty.
Injustice in the name of justice is still injustice.
There's a lot of "good people" out there who will do evil things to others and justify it to themselves.
These are the same people who would watch Wicked and miss the point entirely.

Got another email from SDCC, this time regarding small press/artist alley.
Wait listed. TBH, I rather just walk around vs deal with the logistics and being chained to a table.
So i'll still see you in San Diego! No tables! No masters!
