I should know better

lurkerwithoutSo thanks to the When Fangirls Attack linkblog I once again attempted to read some posts by Mad 360 Scott. No I'm not providing him with a link. If you want to share my headache, you can find him pretty easily on your own. And as always I regret it...
1st he has a "humorous" piece on the Marvel Adventures: Avengers issue that guest stars the Agents of A.T.L.A.S. And his "funny" point is that its sexist because it has Namora in it. And her original Golden Age comics had some sexist tropes in them. Er...ok? I think his "joke" is that comics fandom feminist's can find sexism anywhere so really there isn't any and aren't they silly? I don't know. Maybe he actually thinks the comic is sexist and is harmful to kids? Except even he says its supposed to be funny....
Then on his regular Yahoo blog he shows that his weird statistics (which mostly consist of just throwing up bunches of meaningless numbers and lists) that "disprove" comics misogny don't bother him when he uses them to "disprove" anti-gay trends in comics. And he's gay so he CAN'T be anti-gay. Because he founded a Gay League thing about comics, even though he then admits that he frequently disagrees with the other people who founded the group because he "disproves" homophobia in comics. Or something. Honestly my eyes start glazing over whenever I try to read his arguements...
Plus he takes a mild, but cheap, shot atpomobarney for only doing silly posts on comics and never "serious" discussion on gay themes on his blog. Except of course that he does. And in fact the most recent was a fairly serious gay-themed post. Plus he's start up the Comic Gays linkblog for gay issues in comics, sci fi and fantasy...
So basically, I KNEW his posts would make me angry. KNEW I'd just get upset and it will potentially lead to internet drama. And I still I clicked through. My theory is that I'm an idjit and enjoy mental pain. Oh well, another excuse to use the Puppet Angel icon...
Edit: And Scott you've got your own blog to argue with people. Thanks for making it so I had to look up the ban function for the first time in 3+ years. Learn to deal with an near anonymous stranger on the internet not liking you...
