Yeah Chelsea Cain pretty much showed her true colors after people received her Image book poorly. Sucks because Mockingbird was fun but she's lovely and very petty. I'm glad now she got her Vision book yanked.

The thing is, these aren't even really that "painful." (from an outside view) The tweets are borderline constructive criticism. They say what they enjoyed and where they thought the book fell short. I'm sure there's plenty of dumb abuse coming from the right about Man-Eaters, but no, the most incisive tweets you can take and use in your book are the ones that acknowledge the existence of gender binaries and transpeople. Like, what the gently caress.

I sort of wonder to what extent the heaps of abuse foisted on her by comicsgate assholes during Mockingbird's run broke her ability to handle criticism via Twitter.

I don't think that's an excuse-- if it was every trans person who has ever existed on social media would have a blank check to be an rear end in a top hat. If she's become somewhat justifiably wary of taking criticism in good faith prima facie or w/e that's one thing, but her behavior isn't just defensive-- it's self-absorbed, self-righteous, and oblivious. It's absolutely textbook for a kind of white liberalism that centers the placid experience of moral rectitude above the actual needs and desires of marginalized people.

I get what you're saying but that doesn't give you carte blanche to be a hateful rear end in a top hat yourself.

Nothing hurts like criticism that, deep down, you know has a point, but you don't want to acknowledge that point because it would mean that the awesome thing you've been working on really hard for a long time time actually isn't that great and you hosed up.

Like, chud abuse isn't fun, but it's hard to take seriously because it's pretty clear that they were never interested in what you're doing and are only there to be dicks. Crit from your intended audience is the sort of thing that can actually sting.

As shown there are still folks who like him for whatever reason, but the real question is why do you give Liefeld money and expect him to hit a deadline. Refusing to engage with refunds when you also (apparently) claimed to honor them does shoot holes in his 'nicest guy in comics' image.

No idea. I guess because they're all active on twitter, although even the head guys like Erik Larsen or Akira Yoshida don't have anything to do with it and couldn't do more than 'tut tut' Rob. If they cared to do that.
