* not comics: this is terrifying. I'm not a part of that world at all, I literally play no games, but I'm part of some of the surrounding communities (I use Twitter) and I'm familiar with the mindset and every day this stuff stands is a travesty. As much as the comics community struggles with racism and sexism -- as much as I do -- what's going on in that community just strikes me on the level of people running around screaming and stabbing each other and messing themselves, just bonkers behavior where it's hard for me to find purchase to even comprehend a first step. One thing I don't understand on a less philosophical, big-picture basis is how language directed at someone for effect continues to get a broad free speech pass.
