Hey, like I said in the other thread, if you can explain how "anime is bad and shameful" doesn't mean "the animated creative output of this specific ethnic group is bad and shameful", you go right ahead. The only response I've seen works out to "no, the one I like is One of the Good Ones".

e: Okay, now I've seen "there exists child porn anime so saying 'not all anime is bad' means endorsing child porn". This is an exciting time to be a Something Awful poster.

Maybe anime isn't bad, but you sure are.

I had a coworker go "Len did you see what they did with Batwoman?" Referring to her being a lesbian. And I was like "yeah but she's been a lesbian for over a decade now" and he just went "oh" and didn't bring it up at work again. I want to believe he changed his mind on the outrage.

Honestly when I first heard "Hey they're adding Batwoman to the DC TV shows" my first thought was "Oh cool hope they don't gently caress it up like they did the comic when I was reading it" which was ages ago when it first came out, about until the time the first artist bailed out and the replacement sucked and then Rucka bailed on the book because DC were being poo poo heads about something or other.

Probably the relationship between Kate and the cop whose name escapes me now.

I figured the outrage would be because they cast a straight woman in the role but nope, it's because she's not Jewish.

I wonder what it's like to live your life in a perpetual state of outrage because things aren't exactly as you want them to be.

Dude probably didn't even know there's a difference between Batwoman and Batgirl, as is the case with a lot of these complaints.

I had someone do the same about having Nick Fury being played by a black guy. I pointed out that Samuel L Jacksons likeness was borrowed for the comic Nick Fury years before the avengers movies but got no proper response.

It's still a little lame that they carried the Sam Jackson look over to the normal comic line by introducing Nick Fury Jr who went by the name Marcus for most of his like and then just decided "oh I'm really Nick Fury Jr? Guess that's my name now. Oh and I run SHIELD now"

Also Coulson was there

My father in law grew up reading Howling Commandos comics and occasionally gets grumbly about this. I just have to ask if he'd prefer David Hasselhoff and he shuts right up, it's great.

It's literally part of the plot of the "Elegy" storyline that came out before she got her solo book, and then was a fairly major part of the plot in the solo book.

Including DC saying she couldn't marry her girlfriend because some dumb bullshit which is why Rucka quit the book.

Either they never actually read the books or they're the people who cling desperately to one version of a character they saw one time and any and all other versions of said character are WRONG AND NOT MY (insert character).

Batwoman was seriously a great book for a while and I'd recommend "Elegy" because it owns.

Oh, yeah. This is easily one of my favourite celebrity conspiracy theories. If you look up the "evidence" for it, they suggest such damning things like, her nose got thinner and her eyebrows are higher, which is definitely not something you could achieve through plastic surgery.

Plastic surgery is a scam. What they do is they grow a slightly changed clone of you, transfer your memories to it, then kill the original.
