"There’s a particular miasma of totems and taboos surrounding contact with the trappings of high privilege that appears to arise from specifically middle class prejudices. In Glasgow, there’s also an element of working class sectarian bias in the condemnation, so it’s not all about the middle. I noticed also that previous histrionic public refusals of medals and honours had achieved exactly nothing…I’m more of a nihilist to be honest, none of it means anything to me."

“The thing about fame is that fame in its current sense had not really existed before the twentieth century.  Back in previous eras, even if you were very, very well known, that would perhaps be amongst a thousand people at most, if you were  pope or something.  In the twentieth century, however, with these massive surges in communication, suddenly a different sort of fame was possible.   And I tend to think that what fame has done: it has replaced the sea as the element of choice of adventure for young people.”  - alan moore, THE MINDSCAPE OF ALAN MOORE, 2009

Open Letter To Marvel Comics Regarding SOPA, And A Call To Fans And Creators

ales kot: “Creators – if we won’t stand up and say “This is wrong.”, we might, sooner or later, become collateral damage. SOPA is designed to exchange freedom of every US citizen for profit – to use comics terminology, it’s not quite the Anti-Life equation, but it’s definitely one of its chief elements.

You have the power to change things, or at least create a future that won’t be shadowed by a recollection of doing “wrong things for the right reason” – the bane of human decency. Supporting SOPA is ethically wrong and it can significantly damage your — and your children’s – lives.


This is why I, effective immediately, stop buying all Marvel products.”

Anyway, enough porn.  Back to GENDER ISSUES.

Yay gender issues!

This could not be more relevant.

that batman

[FUCK THAT BATMAN!!]
[[seriously though: obv none of you have read grant morrison & frank quitely’s BATMAN & ROBIN: quitely’s batman is an athlete, who could maybe exist in the real world.  but who cares about the story when we want sailor moon-batman (the strip above talks only of the art, not story content - i’m guessing that’s not important at all).
you know an easy way to avoid all this ridic bullshit? support creators who make things you like.  you don’t like the objectification of people in comics?  don’t buy those.
what we forget is comics are aimed at young straight males…not everyone else.  want realistic physical depictions of women and men as superheroes? try brian bendis’ ALIAS & POWERS, grant morrison’s ANIMAL MAN & VIMANARAMA, alan moore’s TOP TEN & PROMETHEA.as before, i’m reminded of that bit off SUPERGODS.  i’m not a woman so i’m not sure if being ignorant - i don’t think i am.  but i’ll tell you, when i was a kid first reading comics, i’m not sure if ever worried about any of this.now, then…what’s the story of doe-eyed batman?? probably not very interesting and bet he gets beat up a lot.
