i don’t even know what to say to this

While implying that things are better when people don’t think critically about what they read is clearly the mark of a free and enlightened society.

Critical thinking is bad and might be fascist. I could have sworn I saw that one on Fox News. 

what is happening today?

it is apparently time for comics writers to rally against their fans again

Nice use of scare quotes there, ‘Brubaker’.

(slow, sarcastic clapping) No, no. The GOVERNMENT telling writers what they are allowed to write, often under the threat of imprisonment, torture, or death, is how that ‘worked.’ The READERSHIP saying ‘we do not like what you’ve written, and we are not interested in paying for it or anything else you’ve written, and we are encouraging your current employer to replace you with someone who can do the job better, because we consume their product, you goddamn HACK’ is how CAPITALISM works. I know it’s confusing, but they’re a little different.

And is he really doing this? Are we really comparing the threat placed on legitimate journalists and authors under a violent dictatorship or regime to the fan lead efforts to get a 3rd rate, misogynistic HACK removed from a flagship title? A flagship comic book title whose circulation numbers that he has driven into the ground? That’s… What we’re doing here.

Gotta say. I’m a little ‘outraged’ by his comparison.

This is one of those cases of bizarre “logic” that I don’t even know how to refute it because the person is operating from such a faulty premise.  You have to backtrack SO far just to even try to follow their train of thought.

I want to send vitriolic hate mail to every comics professional who has come down defending Remender, but I do not have the mental energy for it.
