…that being a lesbian is something that discredits and colours your opinion. The only reason I can think of other than the traditional ideas of lesbians being ugly (which shouldn’t matter in the first place), is that guys don’t want them/can’t have them, and thus their opinions isn’t worthwhile.

this just reminds me of when kat and i went to supercon in miami and we attended a little dc panel and we got a few looks, because kat looks like shes 12 and i was cosplaying

but when kat displayed actual knowledge and analysis, the men in the room just kind of … gaped. some men even came up to her afterwards to shake her hand and tell her she was *cool* 

but all i could keep thinking was, if kat was a boy, would they have been as impressed? probably not. 

yeah and the fucking writer was impressed and i mean it felt good of course but

yeah if any of those dudes had said something it wouldnt really have been “impressive”

and it shouldnt have been “impressive” i just like comics as much as any dude fuck

Honestly I wasn’t really going to post because I’m not as into comics as say Kat or Mar, but I just have to say I’m actually very disappointed with the gender divide that still exists in the DC/Marvel Universe.

Forgive this example, but whenever someone tries to bring up the whole “I’m a girl and I play video games” there’s a collective groan throughout the fanbase because:
A. The whole “Grrl gamer” collective has become obnoxious attention seeking, and makes the actual female fans who don’t give a crap about sex/gender look bad.
and
B. As far as I can tell, there’s no real gender divide between games anymore (this is from my own experience however, correct me if I’m wrong). Sure some games may be targeted to a male audience, but nobody is going to complain about a girl playing Assassin’s Creed or Gears of War or WoW.

However if someone, like for example Kat steps up and says she likes comics, because she WHOLEHEARTEDLY LIKES COMICS, she’s going to get strange looks and people thinking she’s just doing it for attention. I’ve actually overhead people saying “I hate when girls wear clothes with comic book symbols, they don’t even know who they are”.

I don’t get it.

because theres also the anomaly were men complain that no girls ever like what they like or that no girl they like also likes comics like them, and gosh its so hard!!1

but then they turn around and say things like that

the women arent doing it to themselves, men in the comic world are. unlike “grrl gamers” who are loud and proud about being GRRL GAMERRS, in my experience most girls who like comics dont find it weird/unsual/something to be unusually proud of because its fucking not 

its like being proud of the fact that youre a girl and you just fucking LOVE broccoli, because girls dont like broccoli

therefore it falls on the cis male, the stereotypical comic consumer, and thats when you get them being *so impressed* over small things like knowing who the fuck wallace west is (because the writer kat mentions above totally was) but also pigeon-holing themselves and female comic consumers into this weird, dank little hole

Crisis on Infinite Earths? Gone. Final Crisis? Fugaboutit! Infinite Crisis? Dunzo. Dan Didio has posted on his Facebook page they never happened in current continuity:

He also says the Multiverse exists. Not a surprise given the upcoming JSA title.

But still that’s a fairly big pronouncement. And it opens up more questions than it answers. For example, does Identity Crisis no longer stay in continuity? DC was very clear in saying it was. Does it count a “full crisis?”

Also if Final Crisis didn’t happen than it opens the question of how the death of Batman story stays in continuity. We were told that storyline did happen and that Dick was Batman. But now? Who knows?

But most importantly what will fans do without the ability to refer to things as post and pre- Crisis.

This is madness I tell you. MADNESS!

Also Helena Wayne, still alive. Just say’n.

thanks to Jason Biggs for the tip!

It’s like Dan Didio is actively trying to piss everyone off who isn’t a new reader. Don’t get me wrong, Crisis continuities did tend to confuse things, but retconning them makes it so much worse. -.-

maybe he’s trying to get fired. Can that happen? Pretty please.
