Good to know which comics to ignore in the future. Luckily they aren't good ones anyways. This is one of the few upsides with such events - people drop their masks.

What are you, compared to my magnificence?
I recently read these stories from veterans, or relatives of veterans who committed suicide. I wanted to share because ignorant opinions like Jurgens' perpetuates the toxic idea that seeking help is a weakness, but these stories show just how important therapy and treatment are. There's no shame in doing whatever you can to improve your life.

I know it's political and not comic book related but this is a list of charities I compiled for a Facebook post and if you are feeling helpless and sad remember you can make a deference in beating intolerance by supporting those who need help

1. Planned Parenthood
Probably the biggest mark as far as republicans and charities go. Trump has made it clear that women deserve no agency, and the republicans have spent years trying to defund an organization that seeks to help women

https://secure.ppaction.org/site/Donation2%85

2. ACLU
Despite saying he believes in "law and order" Trump and his supporters feel that if you are a minority you don't deserve any rights. The ACLU is there defend those who society says shouldn't be defended. They are there to give a voice to those remain voiceless

https://www.aclu.org/

3. RAINN
Trump has shown that sexual abuse/assault is still not treated seriously. That people in power can do whatever they want to those they see below them and people will just laugh it off. RAINN is a charity that helps those who have suffered from sexual assault. The kind that Trump and his followers have no problem committing

https://donate.rainn.org/

4. GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance)
One thing that has been in the news the past few months is the "bathroom bill" saying that transgendered people can't use the washroom of their choosing. Trump's VP, Pence, is staunchly anti-anything LGBTQ related. Some rednecks in the sticks want to tell people in the city who they can and cannot marry. Children should go to special camps to "get the gay out of them". The GSA is there to lend support, especially to the youth, who are everything that Trump and his supporters hate

https://gsanetwork.org/civicrm/contribute/transact%85

5. Hispanic and Latino Charities of the USA
It's been no secret that Trump and his followers have proudly rallied against the Latino population, calling those from Mexico rapists and thieves. The HLCUSA supports a variety of charities that aid the Hispanic and Latino communities in the USA

http://www.hlcusa.org/home/

6. National Partnership For Women and Famlies.
Pretty much said what I needed to say in regards to Planned Parenthood but here is another charity dedicated to helping women in need

http://www.nationalpartnership.org/our-impact/

7. Clinton Foundation
Wanted to end off with this one, because despite what Trump and his supporters say, the Clinton Foundation actually does a lot of a good work for the world, and what better way to stick it to Trump than to donate to the foundation.

https://www.clintonfoundation.org/

One final note. There are plenty of other charities out there that you can donate to, and these were just some suggestions. Do your part and help those who are going to need help in the months/years to come.
Also, one last piece of advice. The one "charity" I would recommend not giving to is the Trump Foundation. Any money given to them will probably go towards the building of a solid gold statue of Donald Trump anyway.

Jude Terror, late of the Outhousers, perhaps best remembered for his recent 'THE COMIC INDUSTRY NEEDS TO DIE, ITS HISTORY IS RIDDLED WITH AWFUL AND TERRIBLE DECISIONS FOR WHICH IT DESERVES TO DIE, gently caress EVERYONE INVOLVED WITH IT, also yeah I know I didn't do "research" for this and maybe a lot of my "facts" are wrong, but just because I am factually wrong doesn't change the fact that the comics industry is guilty of all of the things I got wrong, also at least it's gotten people talking, that's the important thing, go gently caress yourself, you spineless loving weaklings, I'm not angry, you're the ones who are loving angry, I'm just writing stuff for fun, my life is great and I'm not mad, gently caress you all you loving pieces of poo poo.'
