As I understood the rule, we should not be telling Nazis in this thread to gently caress off because every post comes equipped with Big Jim Slade a handy gently caress Off Nazi button found next to "Quote". Am I mistaken in this?

Given how poorly talent is paid by the industry, are we really gonna be upset over a writer offering a writing course?

When it's a writer who has two TV series based on his books airing right now and has been adapted for the movies twice? There's a slightly higher level of outrage due, yes.

I think the point is that they're both tacky idiots.

Yeah, honestly folks, I wasn't even thinking of how it placed in the context of this thread. And Gaiman's been stealing for years - when he was at the peak of his acclaim for creativity in the early to mid 90s he wasn't just reinterpreting classical stories but contemporary as well. He put practically the entire of Cancelled Comics Cavalcade into The Sandman, and I much preferred Coraline when it was called The Thief of Always and Clive Barker wrote it.

I also found out recently that Mark Millar has been using ghostwriters on a number of his Millarworld books without crediting them, including Kingsman: The Secret Service and Jupiter's Legacy, which were both written by Rob Williams from outlines by Millar. It seems to have mostly stopped now (possibly due to the Netflix deal), and Williams was given full author credit on Kingsman: The Red Diamond, but it's still disappointing. There's nothing wrong with splitting authorial credit between story and writer.

Does he still demand credit for being racially sensitive for creating Dust and being creative in general because he created the Stepford Cuckoos even though he was working with Grant who sketches his characters to give to the artist beforehand?

I'm amazed that Morrison takes credit for creating the Cuckoos when they're explicitly taken from the movie adaptation of a John Wyndham novel.

(Actually I'm not, because Morrison takes credit for everything, but YKWIM.)

Yeah, the mods restored my avatar for me once after someone changed it to something that could literally have cost me my job. They won't do it for just anything, though: it either needs to be something that could get the forum in trouble, or something that could seriously compromise the goon IRL.

Here's what I think: keep the purchase system the same, but change the items available to "avatar credits" and "platinum credits" and things like that. Once an item or items are purchased for an account, that account may apply these credits to their own or other's accounts, with a record viewable by either everyone or a mod/admin. That way people's personal info remains siloed, and mods can see who is being a problem.

As already said above, this requires coding changes and Lowtax's spine is way more important.

Maybe someone else has floated this already, I don't know. Good on them if they have.

That would halve the cost of changing someone else's avatar, though. It's deliberately more expensive to discourage asshattery.

Cape comics ain't going nowhere so long as the MCU films keep doing a BILLION bucks each.

The problem with that thought is while people may love to watch the movies, it's not translating into book sales. Captain Marvel has sold 100 million tickets; even with hype for the movie and being a new #1 Captain Marvel only sold just over 120,000 copies. #2 sold less than a third of that. And those comics cost a third as much as a movie ticket.

Because he is. After Heath Ledger died Ellis put out what was basically a post-mortem character assassination of Ledger, in which he got every salient fact about Ledger's death wrong. His fans called him out on the inaccuracies and rather than apologise he started calling his fans too stupid to understand him. Someone just said that just because John Wagner writes Dredd it doesn't mean that he is a fascist; well, the same applies to Ellis and Spider Jerusalem.
