i don’t even know what to say to this
yes, ed brubaker, fascists and communists spent a lot of time telling the people under their control not to be sexist, racist bigots. yes what a perfect analogy
I think someone needs to explain to Ed Brubaker that there is a world of difference between telling someone what to write and telling someone that WHAT THEY ALREADY WROTE is gross and problematic, and explaining the reasons why.
This all comes back around to the free speech thing. Yes, you have the right to write gross stories that fridge women, but you’re not free from the consequences of having written gross stories that fridge women (loss of sales, criticism).
I am an AVID Captain America fan. If the Cap book were actually good, and if Remender weren’t writing it, I’d’ve been spending money on it for the past year and a half, like I have been with Captain Marvel.
*growls* Swear to Thor, half – ¾? – of comics professionals need to be smacked upside the head with a Clue-By-Four multiple times.
You know what’s depressing? Feeling like “Wow! Comics have come a long way!” when you’re just reading, like, Ms. Marvel and Captain Marvel and Hawkeye and She-Hulk and stuff. Then you read mainstream comics and it’s just like “… Fuck, I hate everything.”
