Getting back on topic...
Because I hate myself and want to suffer, I have read the comments on CBR and Newsarama's to see what the chattering SJWs have to say. Most of them are acting like Comicsgate is putting Mark Waid on trail and ignoring the fact that this a civil suit and not a criminal trial. This applies to the creators backing this as they repeat the same NPC lines ad infinitum. A judge is not going to give flying fuck about their talking points and will stick to the evidence, of which Meyer has a case. Even if Meyer loses, it will not change the underlying issues that started Comicsgate in the first place and the hemorrhaging of the established readership, especially the whales, will continue.
What they fail to comprehend time and again, is that they are not entitled to our money. We are not obligated to buy an inferior product because it is a beloved franchise. More to the point, they do NOT get to choose their audience. Their audience chooses them. If we the audience doesn't like what they are selling, we can choose to take our dollars elsewhere or create our own entertainment. All these accusations of bigotry are the dying gasp of an industry that has been in terminal decline since the speculator bubble popped in the nineties. Go ahead. Call us names! We're not coming back if man-babies like Waid going to throw tantrums.
It's quite disheartening, really. I really wanted to be in the comics industry when I was a teenager, but now I want nothing to do with these people.
