Follow Up to “Don’t Buy Steve Rogers #1″ post, but I want to stress:
This can not be a kneejerk reaction. Marvel seems like they have no interest in backing down. They are committing to this vulgar storyline. That means we need to commit to a long campaign. We need to have plans for the whole summer, including San Diego Comic Con.
Pre-Sales Matter to the Companies the most. Also, if a store over buys a comic, they are stuck with that non-refundable inventory. It’s bad for the stores. CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION NOW. Cancel before the stores can order issues #2 and #3.
We have to go after Disney. If this affects Disney’s box office or merchandise sales they will step in. Don’t buy merch. Don’t buy the Captain America: Civil War Blue-Ray/Digital. Support the Dr. Strange Boycott. Get Disney’s attention.
Please do not threaten the live’s authors/publishers. Yes, they are giant assholes for greenlighting this disgusting shock value scam. Unfortunately, the easiest way for Disney/Marvel to dismiss you is for them to think you’re “one of those crazy people from the Internet.”
This came out ridiculous but OH WELL. Truthfully of all the races I think Muds would be least upset about being stuck as a tauren for a while. Why does he look so grumpy in this drawing then? That’s his secret, he’s always grumpy.
Messing around with loose coloring directly on my sketchbook pages. Now you can play ‘spot Jade’s thumb’ because I hate using the scanner and I was too lazy to edit it out.
Idk man, a widowed father who works full time and lives in his car so he can afford to keep his child fed while he lives with his aunts, who still makes time to see his kid every day, and who is possibly the only family member that child has who has not implicitly or explicitly wished in front of him that his mother had survived instead of him, fostering an intense survivor’s guilt in him where he feels like his loved ones blame him for the death of his mother
I just don’t see how people have ever managed to call Greg Universe a deadbeat, I mean, the one time the dude did a mildly bad thing is when he lied about being hurt so he could spend more time with Steven who he felt was drifting away from him, and even then he copped to it and apologized. His sole concern as a character in the entire show is taking care of and being there for his kid, he’s honestly one of the best dads on TV and I think it’s sad that people act like he’s a shitty father because he’s poor and spends what little available time and money he has on his son who he loves more than anything
My kid cousin, all of 11 years old, called me up sobbing today. I had about 50 horrifying reasons popping up in my head when he stopped crying enough to ask one question
“Cap’s not Hydra, right?”
A bit of background on why this made sense to me: My cousin was 3 when me and my brother bought him a cute Captain America hoodie. He was 5 when he first caught sight of his dad’s comic collection. He was 8 when he insisted on dressing up as Captain America for a contest at school. He was 9 when he first got bullied and his mom used Captain America as a symbol to tell him to always be kind in strength, to know that he was a better person. He got his Marvel encyclopedia last year for his birthday and every time we meet, me and him have hours long discussions on the characters. His favorite Avenger is Iron Man but he has always been and will always be a Cap’s boy. Steve Rogers has helped him appreciate his own strengths, has helped him understand that being a good person is much more important than being perfect. He got strength from Cap’s stand against bullying, inspiration from Steve’s ability to be kind and caring about the world even in the worst of situations, and most of all motivation to appreciate his own goodness. To him, he was just like Steve Rogers and I’ve seen that kid be so proud of that.
And today he calls me up, shattered and heartbroken, because his ideals, his dreams and convictions of years have been ripped apart. He felt betrayed and lost, because if Cap, his Cap, could be Hydra, a Nazi organization, then did it mean that he was drawing strength from evil all these years?
An eleven year old is questioning his life choices. Nick, still think you’re funny?
My six year old godson is crying in his bedroom right now – his Marvel plastered, Captain America bedsheets and poster covered bedroom – because his hero is a bad-guy and apparently has been all along.
Nick Spencer is such a bad writer that the only way he could think of make his mark on a character like Steve Rogers is to steal the hero from thousands of children.
And if I thought I could find them without having to break out a microscope, I’d gladly do the jail time for punching him in the balls.
The gaydar is a multifunctional tool and the straights not only don’t have it, they also think its only for spotting gay ppl
Other settings:
– Spotting homophobes before they speak – Spotting gays to avoid – Spotting iconic songs – Spotting the safest and quickest route back home so you don’t get beaten or killed after school & many more
What the straights have is a cheap imitation which is really downgraded and has only 1 function called “stereotyping”
