Message: <blockquote data-quote="Orius" data-source="post: 6179355" data-attributes="member: 8863">Mike's biggest problem in this controversy is that he came down with a big case of Artist Ego -- some creative types seem to have a tendancy to act high handed and arrogant at times and this is a pretty good example of it.  He seems to have acted reasonable at first, but as the controversy kept getting dragged on he lost his patience and went for the stupid Dickwolves blunder which only made matters worse.  That was a stupid move on his part, and saying he regretted pulling the mechandise was also pretty damn stupid.The other side seems to be acting with the usual narrow vision of activists who either are unable to understand context at all, or deliberately ignore context to try to make a point.  And by getting worked up over this, they're wasting efforts that could be put to better use elsewhere by say helping people who have actually suffered from some form of sexual abuse.  Getting their collective danders up over a webcomic does little or nothing useful for rape victims.  And what good will boycotting PAX do?  PA runs some sort of charity event right?  What good does it do to potentially hurt that charity because Mike repeatedly put his foot in his mouth?I'm also with Henry.  I'm not sure how I managed to miss this.  Then again, I don't regularly read PA.  That or maybe it's not the big controversy everyone's making it out to be.</blockquote>
