Thanks everyone, I think MWOF came together well and I'm really happy with it as whole. re: Sterman- I can't lie, I found her on a wiki dive for Marvel psychiatrists, but how perfect of a fit was she? Someone who apparently specializes in brainwashed former assassins? You can find anything you're looking for in a shared continuity that big.

That last speech from Jack Murdock about fear and what he had to teach his son was real good dude. I thoroughly enjoyed that series.

Vulpes I get that you were trying to go for some old timey language but it's 2019 you don't use queer as in strange or abnormal what the gently caress is wrong with you

As a queer person, I also have no problem with the use of the word "queer" for its standard meaning. It's a nice word! There's nothing derogatory about it.

I use queer as shorthand to identify myself, but i wish i lived wherever you do because it was definitely used as a derogatory term by cis hets for decades in my neck of the woods.

I've definitely heard it used as a slur, but it's not all that common here I guess. Like, I've heard it used, but other slurs are more common. But like - I really genuinely like the original meaning of the word. It has a bit of whimsy to it. Something that's "queer" in the original sense is unusual, but not bad necessarily - perhaps it's curious, compelling, or mysterious. I think there's some value in reclaiming that. This is definitely an issue where a lot of opinions are split, though, so that's just my take.

I've heard it as a slur so often I get real uncomfortable seeing the old meaning in print, whether it's Tolkien or a 2019 comic. Just let us have it please.

Yeah, that's a fair criticism. I didn't consider the weight of the term "queer" when I used in place of "odd" or "curious" or whatever because given the privilege I've been allowed, I didn't have to. But I should have, and I'm sorry that I didn't, as putting cute language over actual people is a lovely way to do things and I should have been more aware of how the words I choose can impact those actual people. I admit to being blinded to how the way I used "queer" could hurt vulnerable people by my own privilege. I should have chosen my words more carefully, and will in the future. So, I'm sorry site. Thanks for bringing it up. Edit: sorry, its early, what I meant to add was that I should have known better. Vulpes Vulpes fucked around with this message at 13:05 on Feb 1, 2019 |

It's one of those things where like-- the semantics are just loaded and 80% of the time when it's deployed in its "conventional" sense the writer is either making a fairly crass nudge-nudge fashion or is detourning it, which really just means, to me, "going nudge-nudge in a way I like and feel solidarity with" I mean-- queer culture has decided to reclaim "queer" so much more broadly and unanimously than other words for a reason. It's a gorgeous word and etymologically and semantically it carries so much and goes with such a mysterious step. It's irresistible and I'm glad I have it as something I can affix to myself. I'm glad a word that has been used against people like me as a weapon has been salvaged and spruced up and now makes so many people feel proud and powerful. That being said I think straight authors-- and like-- I have no idea about Vulpes' life-- do have an obligation to be very, very careful about how and when they use it outside of the context of sexuality, just like white writers have an obligation to tread very carefully around language steeped in race, able-bodied writers to tread very carefully around metaphors of disability (it was a real struggle for me to get, like, "crippled" and "hobbled" out of my vocabulary to describe stuff that had gone awry but it was worth it), male writers with stuff like "hysterical" or whatever, and so on. Vulpes Vulpes posted:Yeah, that's a fair criticism. But anyway, I can't speak for site but I think this is a really good response. Can we, like, sticky this in the "Dark Side of Comics" thread as an example of what actual accountability looks like?

Late I know but I just want to say Black Widow was fun and I'm adding it to my pull list. I picked it up out of curiosity after hearing who the writers were. It's good Black Widow.

I know I'm super late on this but I finally got unlimited. I checked out Immortal Hulk based on reccos here and drat is that an awesome comic. Best horror I've read since Moore's Swamp Thing, and I never knew I even wanted a horror comic to read.

I'm on my phone so I can't really search it out right now but there was an article on some site a while back where they interviewed Clayton about his fonts used on Mister Miracle that I found really interesting. You should all seek it out as it was really good.
