I'm questioning it because, from the tone of his posting, I don't think Obryn would actually support it. Given how disparagingly he has spoken about those who would respond to the threats by letting fear guide them. Would you support it if she chose to let the fear of being doxxed guide her? I...

Only every fifth Thursday during Thunderdome. Two geeks enter, one geek leaves... and one very embarrassed new jock who has no idea how to do sports.

I'm talking about it like that because doxxing and the resulting threats are very real issues women face online. And no amount of "I'm going to do what I want to do, screw them!" is going to stop that icy lance of fear from going through your veins the first time one of those trolls emails you a...

And confronting them without carefully controlling how you confront them has the same effect as ignoring them. My argument is that Mearls did not use enough control in how he confronted them. You asked if I thought she should passively sit back and take it. That entire paragraph was limited to...

It's like a matter fax. Only, limited to copying words from page to print on others. And you have to load paper instead of standard polystruct material.

That post was intended to be humor, not a serious statement.

You're kinda reading me right, but kinda wrong, on the comics issue. The reason why I am so focused on it is that I am wanting to make certain I have a pattern of behavior understood for the people who were against diversity in comics. That is why I also link the issue to Ghostbusters; same...

Welcome to the problem with, well, everything humanity's done. For example, focusing on worker's rights. Seems good, right? Yes, you have unions that fight for the rights of the underclass workers who... Hey, when did all of these Mafia guys show up? And what is that worker's political party...

It kinda is what he said. Last sentence of his tweet on the first page. But from the writing style of it, he could have been sarcastic in it. Sarcasm doesn't translate well to text, unfortunately; some people, such as myself, can have a hard time picking it up without a lot of time spent...

I would! In an ocean liner, right over the Marianas Trench. The game will be a LARP, where they dive down to the bottom of the trench without SCUBA gear on. While encased in concrete up to their necks. They're all invited to come and play...

I am still double-checking the Iceman one, but from what I read on one site he was apparently turned gay. But, I can't get a direct confirmation. Until I have my facts in order on that, I'm holding off on commenting to parts of what you said. After all, it's not just rich people we catch with...

Eh. He's just stressed and snapped without thinking. Happens to a lot of people. But if he can't stop doing it, it's going to quickly become a problem and he will become a liability to the franchise. The people he's dealing with are not going to stop being trolls just because he chews them out.

They cancelled that She-Hulk, last I checked. But, hold on, let me comment to you and another person at the same time... The clarifications came after an internet firestorm over the initial statement over diversity being the cause. I'm inclined to question it, entirely because it seems almost...

His statement was later further clarified by cancellation announcement that he wasn't talking about all of them. So, some of them have definitely gone elsewhere, and others might be on the chopping block.

tglassy Do you think Buddy would have anything to say about a drow paladin?

The person in question is the vice president of sales. Even if his statement is inaccurate (given his position, that's doubtful), his statement still is the stance of the company unless it contradicts him elsewhere. Also, yeah, the cancellations happened. CB Cebulski has cancelled titles like...

Marvel lost enough of its base that it started cancelling its efforts. That is not better off in the future. That is a setback, and one that will be much harder to overcome in the time to come. What some of us are not happy with Mearls about is that he tried to fight back; it's how. He...

The Furies, Athena, Durga, and Morrigan are DC characters. Sekhmet and the Valkyries are pre-existing Marvel characters. So, basically, it's either "they can't" or "they tried and it wasn't as popular."

Only retreating if you are not acting at all. There is a vast difference between not feeding the trolls and not acting to counter them. DnD was given a massive advantage by focus on this particular new hire; why not leverage that attention to show that WotC is committed to equality by instead...

Nope. I'm advocating going around them. Act anyway. Let them suffer when they don't get their way no matter how loud they are and can't get the attention they crave.
