I don't know that they plan on saying anything publicly or speaking officially to industry press, but it has come to my attention that someone at DC Comics is back-channeling that I've already been paid. I haven't been paid a cent since July of last year, and that was for old work.

Look, I'm not gonna say Twisted Toyfare Theatre is an achievement of sequential art, but I read it religously and this stupid comic is why the phrase "crap in a hat" is burned into my brain.

my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.

we need a moratorium on Robin Hood stuff until people remember that colours exist again. If the dominant colour of your Robin Hood film is anything other than straight up Brat Green then that should be punishable with a £100,000 fine and up to three years in jail

I do genuinely believe that the way entertainment journalists wrote opinion pieces about sexualized characters in the 2010s did have a strong impact on the waves of internet censorship today. It's not that conservative outlooks needed an excuse, but that it conditioned the left to not defend sex.

Hobbes has to understand that people feel very on edge. They feel abandoned by the exact media cohort he’s part of, they feel as if their freedom to create, consume, monetize sexual content has been deemed nothing more than a joke and an oddity and a weird internet thing to be discarded

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.
