#comics #rick remender

pantslesslizard:

comics people defending Rick Remender: Mark Brooks, Cully Hamner, Mark Waid, Cullen Bunn, Dan Slott, Rob Guillory, Cameron Stewart, Ryan Stegman, Ron Marz, James Robinson, Jeff Parker, Tom Brevoort.

because this needs to be shouted from every corner. These people are defending a creator who has used his book to promote racisim, rape, and misogyny and these folks don’t see anything wrong with it.  

Tom Brevoort has been harassing on twitter.

This? This is why I only buy a few, carefully vetted comics. This is why I buy them online and not from a LCS. I don’t want to deal with the shit any more. I have money to spare, gang, and you’d think that would talk louder than their attitudes but I guess not since they still have jobs as creators. 

Why are they so afraid of someone arguing with them? What is wrong with having more than white, male characters in their books with strong storylines?

so far (since wednesday, meaning the beginning of the #firerickremender push on twitter):

I have been called a moron, a slut, an ugly bitch, a dumb cunt, a racist, and every other colorful, cruel, and sexist insult in the playbook.

I’ve been threatened with rape, been told…

weinersoldier:

…..so this happened.

This is why as much as I love parts of Marvel that I hate so much of old school comic books culture.

The r u a real fan thing just never stops. Even when I went into my local store for years I would get asked if it was for my boyfriend. Yeah, no. He hated comics (Commodore 64 games for him).
