If you can't figure out why this isn't a cool thing to call people in the 21st century, I don't know what to tell you. Have you wandered off reddit or something?

Good thing it's fiction.

You can't seriously, with a straight face, sit here and claim that a fictional character can't use an insult for the purposes of insulting another fictional character without everyone's feelings getting hurt. That's what insults are for. Is it insulting? Yes. It's an insult. These characters literally murder each other. Beating the poo poo out of each other the norm. It's kind of why we are reading it. But heaven forbid a fictional character who we have literally seen murder countless people call someone a sissy. It just doesn't make any sense at all to be butthurt over something like this. The only possible justification for this position is to show everyone how PC you are.

More funny panels.

I'm surprised to see so many people defending Mark "I'll just have the hero's girlfriend get gangraped!" Millar over anything. Just because a wildly out of place gay joke in an already really poo poo series is one of the least bad things he's done, it is still the same juvenile "edgy" bullshit he always does.

I get the Ultimates is basically "What if the Avengers were all really lovely assholes" but that doesn't mean I have to enjoy watching iconic characters fling stupid playground insults at each other.

Edit: forgot what thread this was. Here's Captain Marvel and Wolverine hard at work defending Avengers HQ in, I think, A+X #6

I think Millar is actually quite liberal, so I'm guessing that he put this in there to show what an idiot hulk is.

... at least I hope he did . I also have to give credit to millar for making me hate captain america, something I thought would be impossible.

The world, and the geek world in particular, is full of ostensibly progressive people who accidentally regurgitate society's crap without realising how offensive it is.

caboodle posted:

Another case where someone doesn't understand characterisation in a story.
I can't wait for you to get to big boy books.

Another person who doesn't understand that "This character would do X, it's realistic!" means nothing when the writer is engineering a situation in which saying X is the 'realistic' response. When the writer controls how saying X is presented to the reader. If you can't tell the difference between "Here is a reprehensible villain saying something terrible" and "Here are our heroes saying something terrible and I'm presenting it as a cool and funny moment." then you are not ready for the big boy books. Stick to Mark Millar instead.

Its not a complicated idea. Situations usually have an influence on that type of thing, plus past history. Tbat is why Europe is insanely bigoted against the Roma, while the US doesn't know that they even exist. African-Americans, and their long history here are another situation where things are not seen in a similar light between continents.

Trust me man, while we may not have precisely the same history, we are well aware that discrimination against black people is a bad thing, and we have much the same problems with it as you do. Sure there's unique stuff (like being wierded out by the US's tendency to glamourise the Confederacy) but the idea that you have to live in or come from the US to write about race just seems... well kinda self centred of you guys.

After all, who the hell do you think started the slave trade in the first place?

EDIT - For example, it doesn't take any specific knowledge of American culture to know that a middle class white kid beating up some dark skinned people over graffiti is a lovely image.

There was some webcomic that used that exact premise as a joke. I think it was in reaction to Identity Crisis.

Spiders are not known for their resistance to near-freezing temperatures or ability to function in low-pressure environments.

Not a panel but an amazing story

Everyone needs to check Jim Steranko twitter for the story about him meeting Bob Kane and bitchslapping him.

Jim Steranko posted:

I'd hadn't encountered Kane in my travels, but at one rockin' SDCC, an associate asked me if I wanted to meet him,
and walked me into a hallway. There he was, in a small group of people, wearing patent-leather shoes--
and an ASCOT, like he was Vitamin f******g Flintheart in a Dick Tracy cartoon.
For years, I'd heard how he'd taken credit for Bill Finger's contributions (in addition to half his pay) and other
despicable tales from his associates. But nothing aces an in-person encounter. We were introduced and Kane began talking
about my Batman chapter in the HISTORY OF COMICS, which treated him--and everyone else--very respectfully.
He felt I credited Robinson & Finger (both of whom I knew intimately) too much. Kane (aka Kahn) was beyond pretentious,
an intolerable rear end as pompous as they come. I bit my tongue while he regaled us with his many achievements.
The group was waiting for an elevator, which they stepped into when the door opened. Our conversation ended,
but not before he said: "See you later, Jim, baby,"
and cuffed me across the face--like some rat-pack street gesture he'd seen in some cheap flick. The doors closed...
I was stunned by the sheer audacity of a stranger--like him--to lay a hand on me, and boiling with anger.
That night, I couldn't sleep and the next morning began combing the halls for his Bat Majesty. Around noon, I found him
in another group, which I walked into. "Good to see you, Bob, baby!" I said, then bitch-slapped him across the face.
But this time, there was no elevator door closing between us. I stood there for about 15 seconds, waiting. He did nothing.
I turned and left. But I regret it now. I regret that he didn't do anything about it,
even though he was at least a head taller than me. I wouldn't have minded bleeding at all for one more opportunity
to give Kane the kind of Bat Lesson that Finger, Robinson, Sprang and others only dreamed of.
