Selling a bunch of stuff, mostly comics with a few CDs and DVDs. I have some games and DVDs still to list, but there’s a lot up already and I combine postage on everything. So have a look, dudes.

—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. (via therearecertainshadesoflimelight) 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. (via egonmancer) 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. (via latkje) Oh, Mark. Jesus. :( (via gailsimone) Just in case anyone wasn’t convinced that this man is a contagious, throbbing prick. |
I cannot very eloquently put into words how sickened and disappointed I am by the above trailer. Thankfully, IGN UK editor Keza MacDonald has done a pretty good job of it. I’ve also done plenty of ranting about it over on Twitter already, as have Robert Florence and Charlie Brooker.
The point is, that’s my preorder cancelled. It’s a shame for the majority of the people actually responsible for making what looks like an excellent game, but a boycott is the only meaningful way to show the industry that this shit is not OK. I’d like to think at least some of you lot will join me on this.
Preordered the first Scott Pilgrim hardcover (COLOUR OMG) from The Book Depository because my academic career lies in ruins WOO
UK FANS TAKE NOTE: this is one of only two places I can find this book for sale on the UK market AND it’s only £12.02 with free postage (compared to approximately £14 shipped from Amazon.com, or £18 from the other UK retailer).
Empire magazine newest issue is focused on The Dark Knight Rises. So devoted they have two covers including this one:
And inside that magazine are some more pictures of Catwoman which give away at least one rumored plot point and clear up one question about the third trailer.
HAHAHAHA… click the Spoilers. I get it.
