I am not outraged at all about swapping the gender. I just thought the article in question was silly, because people got that it was a guy at the time. That is all I have been saying the whole time I have been on the thread

The ComicBooks article headline was "Wizkids Answers Dungeons and Dragons Mystery in 50th Anniversary Set" and the article went on to say This eventually prompted Larry Elmore to issue a statement on facebook clarifying the character had been a man

I wouldn't agree the piece looks ambiguous, especially for the time and the artist. But I would agree that not everyone would draw the same conclusion. I just think it is a little silly to assert there was large scale confusion over it

We all knew it was a man, the same way all critics agree the Godfather is a great movie. Maybe three percent of critics think the the Godfather stinks, but that doesn't mean there has been a persistent debate about whether the Godfather is a great movie or not. I responded to people who posted...

I need said there was anything wrong with making the figure a female. I just said it was silly to act like there was mystery and speculation over whether the original image was a man or woman

Artists study anatomy so they can convey a male form, a female form, etc. I think the reason Elmore took issue is the implication it has on his skills as an artist. No one is saying people can't fall outside of expected norms. But he was clearly drawing a man, and people interpreted it as a man...

I don't believe you

I almost committed suicide after what happened on twitter and a big part of it was my interaction with you

You interacted with me on multiple platforms but yes I recall interacting with you on twitter too

You are a seriously damaged human being

Then let this be my formal request to you, here and across platforms, and across all your many handles, to please leave me alone. I don't think you understand how your online behavior comes across

I never said you lied. I said people should go to the source. If they follow the links they will see Pundit's statements regarding the claims as well as the original blog posts and can make up their own minds. My point is people shouldn't rely on summaries and hearsay but see statements in their...
