Slight change of gears but notorious retail dickhead Dennis Barger got himself banned from all Diamond events for the next year. He's also claiming Mark Waid threw a book at him despite numerous witnesses claiming otherwise. Dennis has had some pretty negative things to say about women and SJWs so he's appropriate for this thread.

Yeah, like IANAL, but if truth wasn't a defense against slander wouldn't that be a massive violation of the first amendment? Every single news station or paper would have been sued out of existence in Texas.

i mean, truth is not a defense makes sense if you think about it as lying to distort reality is a fundamental plank of fascism, which all these people subscribe to

TheHan posted:https://twitter.com/TEANTACLES/status/1137336739582922752 I got the impression she was the archetypal middle-class white "activist" whose interests and agitations began and ended with making her own way up the ladder, and clearing the path for people like herself. Any nods to intersectionality in such cases are merely a sop or a gesture, that quickly curdles into resentment when confronted with any pushback. I honestly believe the first couple issues of the comic are trans-exclusionary simply because she's not a very good writer or world-builder, who fell into building a myopic and self-centered version of a dystopia. I think however that since then she's devolved into genuinely nasty and hateful poo poo like the above, and probably even does hate trans women, largely predicated on the fact that they said things to her that she didn't want to hear. She's the pits.

She recently went full terf on Twitter, and yeah, she's shown her colors on this since criticism of issue 1 came out, but this is still really lovely Also TheHan posted:Kinda surprised the woman who wrote Mockingbird is TERF. for the record, white feminism and being trans friendly should never be expected to go hand in hand.

Gotta love Mags Visaggio in the threads, defending Cain with a good ol' one-two of "well it didn't offend ME" and "I didn't say she was perfect." Totally agreed on both counts, Mags, thanks for contributing to the discussion!

I'm glad my wife and I dropped that book months ago. Besides this lovely stuff, the book was also loving boring. She spent like 7 issues building up this world without actually doing anything in the plot. I forget who said something along the lines of "at some point you need to stop building your world and start to actually write", but that was Maneaters to a T.
