This is easily, and I mean easily, the stupidest thing I’ve ever read about comics. Makes the douchebag in the yellow hat sound like Jeet Heer.

“Because my arguments have no moral basis and I’m not intellectually able to defend them, I’m a persecuted minority! I will now proceed to ignore your arguments and whine like a fucking baby about being “shut out.””
Yeah. That was basically every stupid thing ever rolled into one.
Yes, its stupid. Yes, its probably the stupidest thing you have read. But you should have read the Newsarama comments when originally the Siegel and Shuster families won back rights to Action #1. This probably pales in comparison.
I’m sure that’s pretty awful, but I’m sticking with this one. Not only is it stupid about the Siegels and Shusters specifically, but it expands the stupidity to attack all creators of all comic books (and, one would presume, every other art form), then throws in the additional stupidity of strawman arguments, a persecution complex, and bad writing, all at no extra charge!
