"And even if it won't--and since it's just me and I barely buy anything these days anyway, my four dollars won't be missed--there's almost zero potential for this particular piece of offal shaping the minds of young readers, since Cry For Justice has about as much appeal to young impressionable minds as a squarely placed kick to the teeth. But it does make me wonder: why do it?"
To inspire two-minute outrage among politically-correct whiners and potentially boost sales of a mini that otherwise would be unheralded cheap-rack fodder?
You should be overjoyed that ol' Robs is cacking FICTIONAL - repeat: FICTIONAL - gay guys. You've gotten an article out of it, and you've gotten to bust a few finger-shakin' "this is wrooooooong" moves that will all but cement your PC cred at the next Starbucks you find yourself in. Be happy.
I too have been annoyed by Tucker's habit of communicating his political correctness whenever he's in a Starbucks; hopefully you calling him out on it will inspire him to stop it already. It's so annoying!
Illustr8r, I think you're whining is silly. You should be glad Tucker is sneering at fictional comics creators....I mean, come on, we know nobody actually writes this stuff. And, even better, you got a couple of entirely predictable, defensive, whiny comments posts out of it, letting everyone know that you're *not* politically correct, so, hey, you must be cool.
You should be overjoyed that Tucker has given you the opportunity to show that comics fans are not knee-jerk insular wankers thrown into a tizzy by any passing suggestion that maybe, just possibly, insulting gay people is not, like, totally awesome.
