S_D vs. Peter David
Mar. 1st, 2009 07:57 amCanadian pop culture blogger Christopher Bird aka Mightygodking comments on the whole thing in a way that is: intelligent, sane and only mildly resorts to calling people stupid. Yeah I'm surprised that can happen on the internet also...
There is no way to please people who have already made up their mind about you, so I've stopped trying. Feminists, WoC, whatever PC label you want to put on your perpetual nitpicking to make it seem like you possess a moral high ground that can somehow be substituted for actual reasoning: You do great shame to your cause by being so willfully close-minded and emotional. Not once, not twice, but just about EVERY SINGLE TIME I've posted an opinion that DARED not fall in line with the femi-comics-bloggers' groupthink, I'm instantly labeled a troll, attacked personally, and then dismissed out of hand.
Oh you poor, poor man. The way we all pointed out your generalizations about soldiers in WW2 were inaccurate. HOW CRUEL OF US! Emotionally cruel!
Good grief. Its a shame that a good idea can be so botched when put into practice. But I shouldn't be surprised, its the exact same thing that happened with libertarians. Libertarianism is a noble idea whose proponents just happen to by hypocritical assholes when you actually talk with them. And I was about ready to put feminists in this category too when I realized these people aren't real feminists any more than someone advocating the end of ALL taxes is a real libertarian.
This part was just for my Lib friends. You hear that

scarybaldguy, dunkelza. I always suspected you of this. ALWAYS!Sincerely,
The "Troll" (a label so original and creative, it just smacks of proof that female writers are being discriminated against regularly)
What? No seriously, what the hell is he trying to say there?
PS: For you-know-who... I'm gonna pass on the offer to fuck you as your personality leaves more than a little to be desired, and from the tone of your writing we already know where you stand in the looks department.
I think that last one was directed at you
morchades. Because thats how physical beauty is determined. Writing tone...Still need a nickname for him. I think I'll just steal from Ami and call him The Flouncer. Stay strong The Flouncer!
Lesson learned
Apr. 26th, 2008 05:00 amHuh. Apparantly Jimmy Boy CAN be polite and take one of his "thats not sexism" arguements off someone ELSE's blog. All you have to do is marry him. There you go morchades, now you know how to stop one of his tl;dr comment feuds...

Since I'm still seeing angry posts across my f-list and blogroll on this I feel like commenting. But shadesong and demiurgent both sum things up better than me...

Since there really is no point in hoping I'd get this thru her Moderated Comments:
What the hell Val? I mean you want to drop someone from your Sideboard or Blog trawl or what not, whatever. You want to recomend that other people who read you do the same? Go for it. I've done the same. But go ahead and fucking name names. Ragnell is hardly going to change her opinion of you because you act all coy. And speaking of that, why do point out that its Lisa and her opinions you have a problem with and then keep saying "they". Did Kalinara post something about you I missed? Is she sending you secret hate mails? Did she touch you with her hands with their Lawyer-in-training Cooties?
Seriously way to be passive-agressive...
And why are you willing to drop Kevin's name AND put a link back to him? Something you don't do for either WFA, Ragnell or Kalinara?
I finally removed When Fangirls Attack off my feed and blogroll. I have nothing against people who visit it, and I think if you find it useful or entertaining you should continue to do so. I've been at the receiving end of pretty inexplicably nasty and bitter comments by one half of that team for some time now, and I see no reason to continue to support them. I used to justify keeping them on the blogroll, long past the time when I visited the site on a regular basis, out of the feeling like "well, they're doing this great service for women in comics, and well heck that makes it all okay." But, I think the fact of them being female and writing (or rather, linking to) female topics is not enough for me, based on some sense of "gender unity," to overlook their pettiness.

As for Kevin Church's bizarre and adamant objections to, of all things, a post on search engine optimization (as if two posts on that subject cannot exist at the same time or teh internets blow up), I am content to believe this is his version of an Andy Kaufman routine, and leave it at that.

Me I love this season
Dec. 20th, 2007 02:57 amMy "favorite" internet loony man-boy has some thoughts on Christmas...
Because you're the Grinch's demented little brother?
( His answer behind a cut because its full of vile crazy asshattery )
I'm almost tempted to link back to him, just because his latest spurt of crazy-stupid is reaching for some new level of Crazy-Stupid. But I won't. The morbidly curious will just have to practice their Google Fu. I think Ragnell may be right in her guess that this frothing Man-child is a sock puppet for some other Way Right-Wing Anti-Feminist...
You know why I hate Christmas?

Someone doesn't like me
Dec. 11th, 2007 04:14 amWhen some attention whoring feminist cuntrag devotes an entire Blogpost to how everyone else should be ignoring you?
I mean I dont expect them to be consistant from day to day, but you'd think even a feeble minded, sex deprived, ugly as sin, and as fat as texas, misadrist, lesbian, harpy can be consistant with themselves in the space of a single post. Wouldn't you?
I know, I know. I'm failing at ignoring his monkey antics again. But really its a slow period at work. So lets break down some of his insults...
"attention whoring": This is true. I love when people pay attention to me. I can't help it. I'm the most important person there is, so its vital others rank me in their thoughts accordingly....
"feminist": Well I do treat women in the same manner as I do men. I guess that makes me a feminist.
"cuntrag": I don't think I've ever been used to clean a vagina or as any kind of tampon. So we'll just call that one a baseless slur...
"Blogpost": This is a journal. I never post anything on my Blog. I created it to comment on others Blogs and then Blogger went and made it so you could use your G-Mail account as a default...
"feeble minded": Easily distracted by shiny objects sure. But enfeebled? Though my memory is for crap on a lot of areas lately...
"sex deprived": Does at count as deprived when you're not trying? I mean ANYONE can get laid if they're willing to put forth the effort. But there always seems to be so many other things I'd rather do than engage in the quest for nookie. Still I guess its true on a technical level...
"ugly as sin": I'll have you know my mom says I'm very handsome. So nyah!
"fat as texas": Oh come now. Thats just plain hyperbole. Fat as Austin I'd allow, but the WHOLE state?
"misadrist": I don't hate men. Or maybe I do? I mean his online handle has man in it. And I do dislike him. And there ARE people I hate. And some of them ARE men. Oh no! Its true! All you men, off my f-list! Get! Only ladies from now on. Also this journal is going clothing optional...
"lesbian": Weeeeeell I am in favor of as much girl-on-girl action as possible. Added wherever and whenever. I mean it has passed the normal guy reaction of "girl makeouts = hawt" and is probably at the fetish point. But still there is that whole having a penis thing. But its not a very big penis. Maybe they'll let me in the club if I promise to buy more than one k.d. lang album. I do have TWO Jill Sobule albums. Maybe if I get some Melissa Ethridge?
"harpy": Oh come now. Have you even READ the Monster Manual? I don't have wings. I lack a charm attack. And my man-boobs are plentiful but not covered in soft down...
Oh wait, this needs some comics discussion to be on subject in case it gets linked. Let me think...
Crap! Can't think of anything. Damn feeble mindedness! Have some pretty pictures instead...
Some Empowered...
And some Nightcrawler...
Oooh! Some ps238 Zodon!
The care and feeding of trolls
Dec. 7th, 2007 02:56 amI've noticed something in the comics blogs/journals I follow again. Several of you out there are again attempting to hold a real debate with the Irrational Madman-Boy. This is foolish, because he's a troll. All he wants is a reaction. If you link to him, he wins. If you go to his blog and try to counter his "argument" he wins. If you just go to drop an insult he wins. In fact right now, by me discussing him AT ALL, he wins. Trust me, I just spent several days trolling someone here because I was feeling petty and childish. I can recognize the behavior in others...
Now Kalinara and Ragnell both have reasons for including his "point of view" on the When Fangirls Attack link-blog. And these reasons have some validity to them, plus its THEIR link-blog so THEIR rules. But I wish everyone else would ignore him. Me I go to see what insults he's managed to gather with a post, I don't even bother with what he writes, because its such utter nonsense. Who needs the headache?
But the insults most of you are leaving? Don't be like him. TRY. But some effort into it...
Go...I don't know, pseudo-Kirby:
Who are you, you wretched worm, to dare even LOOK upon me? Avert your feeble gaze for I am like a GOD unto you. Return to the muck and slime from which you spawned oh feeble caitiff! Depart now, crawling upon your belly, lest I smite you where you stand!"
Or maybe pseudo-Klingon?
What child is this that dares speak to us? This is a gathering of warriors and scholars stripling! There is no place for a wretched, mewling beast like you here. This discourse is for those who have bloodied themselves in the glorious cut and thrust of debate. We have no time or patience for the tantrums of an unschooled brat. Now cease your bleating, for it like the rancid expulsion of swamp gas. It offends the nostrils of all but signifies nothing...
Or perhaps the vulgar?
Whats your fucking problem now you fucking dog molester? Can't you string two fucking sentences together without fucking show-casing your under-devolped brain? You fucking dolt, maybe if you took one-hand off your dick and stopped jerking off to Turner's crap art you'd be able to type a coherent sentence yourself. Now fuck off you shit-stain before I'm fucking forced to flush you.
Or even this guy:
Just don't expect to earn anything from the Man-Boy. All a post about him gets is an insult, unless its from someone foolish enough to try and actually agree with him...

Al Ewing said...
Hi. My name's Al Ewing. I'm a British comics writer working for 2000AD and Judge Dredd Megazine, and also writing novels for Abaddon Books.
I've spent the last five years of my life busting my arse to work in the comics business. I now make my living off it. That was done through hard work and dedication to the craft.
I'm not a little woman. I'm a six-foot-plus, very hairy man who could drink you under the table twice over.
And I wrote that post, which is an incredibly mild expression of annoyance on my part. Would you like to know how I really feel about you?
Here's how I feel:
Stop.
Just stop. Stop writing, stop posting your crappy blog, stop breathing if at all possible. For God's sake stop breeding, the world's in enough trouble. Just stop.
You are unnecessary, you are embarrassing and you are killing my livelihood, you and all the threatened, scared little boys like you - the strutting, puffing little roosters who make my medium, the artform that I have thrown my blood and my sweat and my tears into while you've sat on your couch and hooted at sports bloopers, look like it caters only to the cast of Revenge Of The Nerds II.
Stop.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go and make lots of money by doing something I love, and you've got to have another of your regular tantrums. Have fun.
Just don't expect to earn anything from the Man-Boy. All a post about him gets is an insult, unless its from someone foolish enough to try and actually agree with him...
Instigating from boredom
Dec. 4th, 2007 02:34 amMore words from Jimmy M. But since he's on one of those long-winded rambles of his, I'll put them behind a cut. Because honestly I'm the one rattling his cage and I still find it very much tl;dr
( Jimmy M for the few who might care )
Ok, lets add some actual comics content to this post, so its not just me mocking Jimmy in a Trollish attempt for a reaction...
You people have been buying ps238 right? Because if I recall my LCS e-mail for this week, there was another issue already hitting the stands. If you enjoy super-hero comics this is a book you should definitely be reading. Aaron Williams' was a pure genius for writing about a grade school for super-humans. Plus his characters have more depth and awesome to them than many Big Two books using characters with 50 plus years of back-story. AND he's got the genius kid of a Mad Scientist version of Phil Foglio. AWESOME!
Anyway, if you want to test the waters he does an ongoing web version where he puts up the older issues. Here's the start of the online archive. Go read! Then go buy! GO NOW! Come back to mock (or defend if you like) Jimmy later!

I should know better
Sep. 23rd, 2007 05:31 amSo 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...

LJ Abuse = Morons

I've sunk (for me) quite a bit of money into LJ over the last three years. But this whole thing makes me wonder if I should be trying to figure out how my Blogger account actually works...

Today I stepped back from the beginning of another pointless bit of internet melodrama and realized how silly it all is. Thats a sign of maturity right? Still, I really want to go back serial red rep that whiny jack-ass...
