APE IN A CAPE: I Guess I Shouldn't Be Surprised →
…by the ignorant, bigoted comments about this Alan Scott outing. I get that some people have objections for other reasons, but many are just plain obnoxiously homophobic.
I read worse, meaner ones…but this one really got to me, for some reason. From Facebook.
“I think what dc comics is doing is…
I love how apparently being straight meant he gets to be ‘honorable’ and with ‘integrity’ but the SECOND he likes men all that gets thrown out the window!? WTF!? That literally makes no sense. I’m so going to pick up a copy of Earth 2 when I pick up my comics on Tuesday. Fuck you homophobes! Fuck you in the fucking FUCK!

The Bush/Cheney sticker on Cap’s shield made me snort.
I instantly started to giggle.
Few reasons to buy extra cookies from Girl Scouts.
HELL YEAH. Clearly I need to buy me whole CASES of their cookies!!
sexgenderbody: The Right Look: Lightening Dark Skin For Beauty, Money and Cancer →
Until today I’d assumed “whitewashing” (the practice of bleaching one’s skin to alter its color to a lighter and thus more appealing tone) had all but died in most parts of the modern world.
Holy fuck was I wrong.
This year, British Vogue’s November 2011 cover features…
So here is a strange thing… I’m pretty fucking white… Irish… Scottish… English… yet I tan easily and almost never burn… but when I was a teenager I hated how ‘dark’ my skin is. How fucked up is that? Kinda suggests these messages get into everyone’s head and messes them up.
Homogenization of beauty and advertising is harmful and wrong. The world is an infinitely diverse place and we need our media to reflect this.
I pitched this to DC for a laugh years back. The idea was that, like Death of Superman, we had Rape of Wonder Woman; a twenty-two page rape scene that opened up into a gatefold at the end just like Superman did.
—Mark Millar
This is an actual quote. That he said.
Lois Lane is a dirty slut unworthy of Superman’s divinity and Wonder Woman should be raped. For a laugh. Oh haha. Rape is so funny, Millar.
Honestly, how this man exists in this world without getting punched by every woman he meets is beyond me. Horrible human being.
In another world, far beyond this one….Wonder Woman punches this guy in the face and then Lois writes a story about what it looked like when he got punched in the face.
Then, to finish it off, Superman punches him for slut shaming the love of his life and joking about how hilarious sexual violence would be against his best friend.
You know, for a laugh.

I always find it funny when people forget that comic book writers (especially the ones at DC) are sick twisted people. Do you have any idea of how Wonder Woman came into conception? Someone getting their knickers in a twist over this better be a troll.

Are you seriously arguing that being a bit into harmless kink and polyamory is on the level with joking about the sexual violation?
I know how Wonder Woman came into being. Probably better than you, you dismissive little fucker. It’s not on the same level as this. Aside from it being a rape joke, which is not funny, it’s equating a fight scene where a male hero struggles and fights back and ultimately stops an unstoppable monster at the cost of hgis life with a female hero enduring extended sexual violation and humiliation.
Marston had a little fun with subtext and parodying adventure tropes while doing a complete reversal of gender roles and giving us a woman who absolutely worked with the story roles that had up to then been given to men. Millar’s suggestion shows that he is not only boorish, twisted, and has little regard for the feelings of women, but that he is still mired in the misogyny that sees sexualized violence as something that happens to women and totally the counterpart in a woman’s story for a man’s heroic physical struggle.
It’s completely fucking different and you are a moron for equating a little consensual sexual nonconformity and winking at the adults in the audience with this complete surrender to misogyny.
Fuck you.

Oh, Mark. Jesus. :( (via gailsimone)
It saddens me that after making that pitch he wasn’t instantly black listed for life. I don’t care how much of a ‘joke’ it was to him, the fact that he felt perfectly comfortable suggesting it just makes my skin crawl with disgust.
Judge forces Jehovah's Witness parents to allow transfusion for daughter with cancer →
Justice Richard White ordered the girl, 4, receive treatment, including a blood transfusion to which her parents had objected on religious grounds.
Paediatric oncologist Dr Petra Ritchie, right, said without treatment the girl “will die … I would say in weeks”.
Dr Ritchie said that the girl, who was diagnosed with cancer of the blood and bone marrow on Monday, had a 90 per cent chance of survival if she received treatment immediately.
Doctors had this week advised she needed a potentially life-saving blood transfusion but her parents objected on religious grounds.
The parents’ opposition prompted the hospital to petition the court saying that, without treatment, the girl would die in a matter of weeks.
One of many reasons I’m an atheist and against religion.
Let’s face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren’t invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn’t the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn’t it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn’t preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm goes off by going on. English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race (which, of course, isn’t a race at all). That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

There is a reason I’m dyslexic and it isn’t just my having a learning disability. I’m certain it has to do with how BLOODY INSANE English is.
