As such, I will only be used by this account to talk to friends in DMs or to let them know we can continue by DM.
Gotcha.

Doing so SPECIFICALLY to shut them up is.
up front when I know Iβm gonna be talking with them a long time since I might not notice.
B) Three rights make a left, but that doesnβt mean you should do what you claim to know is wrong.
C) This person gets annoyed whenever I talk AT ALL. INCLUDING when she asks me something.
I ran into this last night. I was interrupted twice by someone while trying to just explain something to a third person, and told them "I just want you to know, being interrupted pisses me off."
Response: "Oh so when you do it, itβs okay."
A) if I was doing that, TELL ME. I always ask people to be

Calling for an apology or a retraction? Ok. But the majority of these replies havenβt been "polite".
And so we go to ad hominem. That took longer than expected.
25.11.2025 19:06 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0And for the people who are saying they hate the material and are all but certain to dogpile this for being remotely positive: thatβs totally valid. Thatβs fine.
Threatening the creator's life or telling him to commit self harm in real life is not.
even so. The point is that the response is not okay. Bottom line. Poorly thought out or even deliberately horrible writing decisions (again Iβm not pointing to anyone) is NO excuse.

Iβll admit Iβm biased. I havenβt read it (I donβt read many comics, and donβt tend to touch X books usually) and have friendly interactions w/him. But
People are saying "Yeah thereβs death threats and those arenβt okay but you are wrong."
Nobody is saying what was written is okay. I havenβt seen any defense of the work itself. Theyβre saying the response isnβt okay.
I saw someone saying "comic writers arenβt real people" as their excuse.
Okay. If you need to, my DMs are open. Probably wonβt be super active during the workday for obvious reasons, but after 5.
(Also completely unrelated, I got the Kickstarter for the new H/S hardcover. Got on board ASAP.)

I donβt drink, so this is concerning.
Neither am I, but Iβm not going to blame someone for not realizing their mistakes over a decade before they were known to the public.
It costs nothing to not engage. If you didnβt care, you wouldnβt have written anything. Unless youβre saying you donβt care about truth or accuracy in blame.
Iβm sorry to hear that.

Nothing more than that. Just heard the news about you leaving the other place and want to check in.
I donβt really consider calling someone the clone of that guy who I wonβt name up front a joke, but whatever.
25.11.2025 15:56 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0So like Life Story?
I just generally feel Marvel works best when itβs dealing with down-to-earth issues. Iβve heard it said that the core difference between DC and Marvel is that DC heroes you look up to, Marvel heroes you relate to.
I like when theyβre like this. Just normal guys doing ridiculous jobs.

Iβm aware of these things.
However, I hate putting ideas writers wouldnβt conceive of in their characters' mouths.
Also, calling Peter literally that guy, who I KNOW who he is, is quite a stretch. A certain Mike G would have something to say about that.
I Am Alive is a really cool game. Itβs hard, but it feels more like a The Walking Dead story than The Walking Dead does.
25.11.2025 15:06 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I wouldnβt apply that logic to a Ditko era comic.
Those words werenβt even considered then.
Now Iβm imagining T'Challa managing a Wendy's.
