I'm at a loss, do I want to see more 100% farm-fresh exceptionalism, or do I want to keep whatever sliver of sanity I have left?
This is the only slightly off topic thing I will say:
Pretty much my stance. I was pretty in on Comicsgate, but then it hit me... I don't need that shit. Like, as a descriptor/title. As it stands I mostly buy backstock at my LCS, and in a way, I think it helps them out better anyway. They keep all profits from what I buy, and most backstock is a little more pricey for issues - considering their value. So instead of spending $3-5 dollars on a 12 page 'may be okay in the long run' issue of X, I can buy more Spider-Woman and give them up to $12 for a well conditioned, interesting single issue that will only appreciate in value when the set is complete. It's the TLJ effect: Don't like Star Wars TLJ? Ignore that shit, you still have the OT and (if you must) the prequels.
Manga has its share of issues, but for the price point, it's miles better of an option. They are printed smaller, usually without color and yet a single volume can span at least five or more arcs of a western comic... The art pretty much stays consistent, usually only getting better, and sometimes hurts, but not usually. I wish some writers would know when to fucking end their shit though, and I wish others would get back to their shit (Looking at you Hiroe).
Fucking THANK YOU. That's my problem with TUG, he's fine for the most part, aside from sperging for clicks. But his clickbaity titles and dragging to get to the point really make him passable from me. Though I can tolerate him more than YF.
As for HanLeia.. She's the one who @'d FUNI saying "why do you hire a known Pedophile" right? The cunt who started all this? Reap what you sow, you dumb shit - and get out of Japan or wherever you are, you don't deserve them.
