I'm not gonna say "more power to him" because it's corrosive on society, but at the end of the day, most of the time, a gig is a gig.
@womzilla @mightygodking "making money by selling lies to people" is most typically termed "fiction". 'm just sayin'.

@chaosprime@mightygodking Chuck Dixon trading fiction for money is honorable, even if I didn't enjoy the results. Telling lies isn't. -
@womzilla@mightygodking are we still talking about his "the CCA was good for comics' politics" whinge or has he done something else? -
@chaosprime@mightygodking That was what started the thread, yes. -
@womzilla@mightygodking okay cool. so, like, what is he lying about, as opposed to being a philosophically lazy jingoistic idiot about? -
@chaosprime@mightygodking You're going to force me to read the damn thing I'm criticizing, aren't you? :-( -
@chaosprime@mightygodking Ok, here's an outright falsehood: "In the 1970s...nobody really altered the superhero formula." -
@chaosprime@mightygodking There is no way Dixon is unaware of O'Neal & Adams's GL/GA or of the Punisher, Marvel's first murderer superhero. -
@womzilla@mightygodking yeah, that does seem like a self-serving handwaving away of facts for the sake of a pat narrative. - 2 more replies

@chaosprime@mightygodking I don't like the "fiction is just lies" truism. Fictions aren't true; that doesn't make them lies. -
@womzilla@mightygodking fair 'nuff.
