I see Nick Spencer and Mark Waid are now both completely committed to being horrible.

*shrug* they don't give a shit when anyone else receives death threats, and they're happy to ask their fans to dogpile critics.

A young asexual Twitter pal of mine got dogpiled by Waid's people after complaining (unthreateningly) about his Jughead bullshit
-
Obviously no one should be sending them fucking threats. But they're conflating legit criticism with "angry mob", too.
-
*nodnod* yeah, that's not okay. of course, i see nothing but apologism for that when the right people do it

I think it has a lot to do with relative power. When it's people with roughly equal platforms? I think it's often reasonable.
-
When it's Giant Comics Celebrity going after Grad Student With 400 Followers? Not so fucking much.

I quote-tweet shitty people sometimes, largely to call attention to them being shitty people. Maybe i've made bad calls on a few
-
...but a) i'm pretty careful; and b) my followers don't dogpile, because i softblock people who seem inclined that way.
