I don't understand how in the business of selling funny books you can have such diseased corporate culture. Except, I can. But it's still stupid as hell. Its like where does "be total dicks" enter into the daily schedule of people whose job should be just "come up with cool stories about people who dress in bright pajamas and also fly."

There's no way we are seeing everything, this guy might have been directly harassing someone in editorial for all we know.

Well, yeah, it's possible. But if we're going off the article like fadam is, then I really don't see how that's anymore worth of getting rid of somebody than Peter David's rant about Romani people or Brian Azzarello calling a fan a pussy.

It definitely feels like an overreaction but also, all those specific complaints were dumb and wrong anyway, and I feel like I'd be a lot more sympathetic if I also agreed with what they were saying. Still, that's some master level pettiness on DC's part.

He was actually really nice. We talked about Wonder Woman, New Gods, and 3am phone calls from Dan Didio roping you into weekly books. Rhyno posted:True. He'd be fired/walk off by the third issue though. A long, boring walk?

Roth posted:Well, yeah, it's possible. Because gypsies don't buy a ton of comics and most people I saw on Twitter thought the Azzarello thing was more funny than offensive. You don't poo poo where you eat. I'm bummed the book got canceled and this is a completely retarded decision from DC but it's not very surprising.

People mutilate children to beg all the time though. it happens in India and you better believe it happens in Romania. David supposedly saw it first hand and got very upset about it. I also like how nobody talks about the dude that provoked the discussion who interrupted an LGBT panel to go on an hour long rant about Roman representation in comics.

The point is that maybe using one incident, gotten entirely from a third party, to generalize a people is real lovely?

They have been around forever and are shown in a positive light. The guy who asked the question knew about Peter Davids feelings on the matter and was looking to troll. Shame on him!

Gypsy is a slur for Romani and pretending it's about nomads in general is hilarious. Also lol at unironically using the term identity politics.
