Rhyno posted:I miss Helldump. Some people with weird grudges against SA on twitter have been trying to rewrite history and turn Helldump into this weird doxxing forum or something that targeted people because of their politics. I posted there, and there were a lot of problems with Helldump but doxxing people was not one of them.

Some dude tried to HD me once and I posted screencaps of his PMs to me so that ended badly for him. I also got HDed for the TRU incident but hey, I deserved that.

Howabout some cool rear end poo poo? Look at how good this statue is. Just bask in it. BASK. I wanted this as soon as it was announced but I had trouble justifying it at $250 even with a discount. But recently DC clearanced out their overstock at Diamond and I was able to score this beauty for an absolute steal!  (sorry my phone is a POS)

My opinion on that statue depends entirely on how nice an rear end they gave Ollie.

I have no pics of Ollie's rear end. Mine is in my locker at work as I had to move a ton of poo poo around after work and didn't want to risk damaging it.

For those curious on the Mark Waid thing, it sounds like Mark and D&C talked "like gentlemen and everything is calmed down now." So, if you were expecting something to come from this, nope. Source: https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/09/21/mark-waid-diversity-comics-baltimore/

It's worth noting that the guy who said they calmed down was Diversity & Comics so take that with a grain of salt. Mark Waid hasn't said anything. But, D&C also said they agreed to do things like not call out Mark Waid anymore to ease tensions. Which REALLY says thing about what this was really about. This wasn't "Straight CIS White Guy defends minority co-workers", this was "Straight CIS White Guy looks out for himself, drat everyone else."

On a totally different subject, I just started reading Casanova from the library and like it a lot. I'm even reading the afterword stuff in this deluxe edition, which I wouldn't normally do, but Fraction's little essays of influences and process are actually really interesting. He mentions Grendel, which is a series I never followed, but it actually sounds kind of cool, with it being set in different time periods and stuff. What's the thread think of Matt Wagner's Grendel?

Efficacy aside, I'm part of a whole bunch of demographics that are routinely targeted by alt-right and nazi dweebs, so seeing high-profile creators come out in my tacit defense is much more heartening to see than just thumb-twiddling. Nazis already have enough exposure-- the net good of artists telling them to buzz off outweighs, I think, is worth the hypothetical risk of giving them more of a platform. Nobody's going to be like, "an ALT-right? Gee, I never would have heard of this if James Tynion hadn't told them off online," whereas knowing that people you admire and respect have your back makes life more livable in tangible, immediate ways.

People who aren't being personally targeted for harrashment tend to, when they try to confront the harrasher, see that "he's really a fun guy when you get to know him This is also sadly true, and I've seen it so many times in academic and artistic communities, where people will hand-wave the bad actions of racists, transphobes, even out and out actual rapists and sexual abusers just because they're "fun to hang out with" or professionally useful to be on the good side of, or just because it's easier to avoid direct conflict than barrel right into it.

This is how I feel about Zenoscope, or that one line of Japanese statues when it doesn't include characters like Ms. Marvel. Bringing it into the realm of non-porn is where it becomes gross and offensive.

Yes. Handwaving away harassment because presumably you look like the harassers and thus have never been on the opposite side and shutting down conversation about your peers/bosses who engage in such behavior just makes you complicit
