because they feel everyone is already trying to mooch off of other people like they are? Any idea what comes next for Mark?

A liquor bottle and a rope hanging from the ceiling?

Make-up, a dress, and a stripper name.

I really cannot understand why left-wingers wouldn't be more interesting in fighting for economic justice. Social justice means nothing if you don't have food and shelter.

The biggest reason is that the left-wingers in question are addicted to tribalism, and economic injustice cuts across tribal lines. The kind of activism that might require making common cause with a cis white male, or Goddess forbid, a DRUMPF!!!! supporter, is no fun.

Immediately next is probably dealing with whatever lawsuit D&C comes up with. Zack is apparently shopping around for California lawyers at the moment.

You're overthinking. The care about their brand of social justice because all they have to do is yell. Jesus was an SJW. Ghandi was an SJW. MLK was an SJW. Do you see Wait willing to go to jail or be killed for his beliefs? Fuck no. He just wants to be 'on the right side of history' as if there's a list somewhere of that sort of shit.

Back on topic. Dude's unhireable at either major shop now. If he were smart he'd be thinking of making his name a brand a la Tom Clancy. May be too late though

It's down to the work involved. Economic equality is hard work. First you have to study statistics, then you have to study the people and other forces behind that statistic. After that you can come up with a rough plan on how to change the circumstances that are causing the statistics, but you can't quite put that plan into motion until you have gone back to the statistics and run the specifics of the plan through them. If the plan looks viable, then comes complex negotiation with all parties involved. Even if all parties are willing- which often they are not- bringing that plan into fruition needs flexibility of both yourself and others, an ability to think three steps ahead and a talent for improvisation. On top of that you need a healthy dose of charm and charisma to suck people in. Social justice, on the other hand, just consists of screaming, "Insert-ism-here! Insert-phobia-here!" until someone breaks under pressure and grovels for mercy.

Being unpleasant is easy. Building something is complicated and very hard work.

Substance gets in the way of ego-inflation. Mark Waid is a short, angry, probably impotent manlet. That means he has to become a male-feminist if he wants to attract a whale.

I really cannot understand why left-wingers wouldn't be more interesting in fighting for economic justice. Social justice means nothing if you don't have food and shelter.

In my experience, it's as simple as identity politics. They truly believe it's more important than anything economic. I've even seen them claiming that people who care about class issues or economic issues are doing so to hide their racism/misogyny/whatever. Because if you aren't as obsessed with the latest perceived offence or outrage as they are, you're just as bad as a Trump voter or rural white trash or the white men they regard as the source of all evil.

They honestly think that fixing social justice will fix the economy. Don't ask them how that works, though, unless you want constant references to the patriarchy and to be called a shitlord.

It's a sort of mindset of "If the issues I actually care about are fixed, everything else will take care of itself", from what I've seen. It's why you'll see socjust spewing feminists say things like "I'm helping men by fighting toxic masculinity and the patriarchy", or responding to issues men face by blaming those two things and saying that by fighting for women, they're therefore automatically fighting for men too. Because once women live in an unending utopia of bliss where they never face any hardships whatsoever, clearly that will trickle down to the menfolk too eventually.

To tie this into Waid, it's basically the semi-subconscious thought process that helps people like him justify everything they do. Because they and what they believe in and want is so important, getting their way isn't just some selfish demand, they're actually making the world better by enforcing their views on it. Waid doesn't see himself attacking some small indie comic company or an independent creator as just being his own vicious and malignant drive... he both shields himself from any self-doubt and strokes his ego by assuring himself that he's doing it for the good of the entire comics industry. He hates D&C? It must therefore be right and correct to hate D&C. D&C must therefore be a threat to the industry. Thus destroying D&C and anyone who associates with them is protecting the comic industry.

Mark Waid sounds absolutely insane

https://bentcorner.com/mark-waid-sounds-insane/

Comic book writer Mark Waid wrote a long post on Facebook sharing is his feelings on the 2016 presidential election. Spoiler alert, he’s not too happy about how the whole thing turned out.

Donald Trump won and Hillary Clinton lost. Like Mark Waid, I’m not happy with Trump being our president. Even though I voted for her, I wouldn’t have been happy if Hillary Clinton won either. That’s one of the things that made this election such a giant, Costco-sized bucket of suck. No matter who won, the result was going to be pretty awful.

Mark Waid began his post by stating that his therapist told him that he’s in the grieving stage with the outcome of the election. The post pretty much goes downhill from there.

He then talked about appearing at comic book conventions in red states. Some comic book professionals have vowed not to attend comic book conventions in states that voted for Donald Trump. Mark will not do that. He’ll attend conventions in red states. The difference is, he’ll use his straight white male privilege to create safe spaces at these conventions.

From Mark Waid’s Facebook account:

“As a straight white male, I carry with me a certain amount of privilege. That doesn’t mean I’m diving through a money bin. Privilege doesn’t mean I snap my fingers and women come running. What it means is that I was born with a pigment and a nationality that makes me safe from hate crimes, from bigotry, from the kind of fearmongering our President-elect spewed in all fifty states these last 16 months.

So I’ve decided to use that privilege on the convention trail. I respect and agree with my friend Humberto’s decision, but I’m in a different place, and after talking to my friends who are Not Like Me, I think it’s a better use of my privilege to go to shows everywhere and help create safe spaces, as many of you already do (and thank you). It is pretty literally the least I can do.

I’m not hard to find at shows. If you’re a fan or creator and are ever, ever made to feel uncomfortable on a convention floor, come find me. If it’s a fleeting thing, just come hang out. If, on the other hand, you can point out the aggressors, I will rain HELLFIRE on your behalf, I PROMISE you. Ask anyone. They’ll tell you that I’ll flip tables on bullies and creeps, and I’ll have your back. And while I’ve never had to use it, I’ve got enough clout to have hatemongers flat-out thrown out of shows, and I am not above those sorts of nuclear options.”

I’ve never seen Mark Waid in person, at least I don’t think I have. Judging by his photos, he doesn’t strike me as a very intimidating person. I don’t think he’d ever be mistaken for a Dothraki Bloodrider.

Not Mark Waid.
I haven’t felt the need to attend a comic book convention in quite some time. It just never seems worth it. Panels are now usually posted to YouTube. You can buy anything sold at a comic book convention online, usually for a lot less than what it can be purchased for at the convention. Not that you would necessarily even want to buy anything sold at a comic book convention, unless of course it has nothing to do with comic books.

Now that Mark is offering to use his straight white male privilege for anyone who asks, it might be fun to go to a comic book convention again.

The next time Mark attends a convention in the neighboring red state of Pennsylvania, I may have to go. I want to see him rain Hellfire and flip tables. I don’t even know what Hellfire is. Something tells me it’s not nice. Hellfire sounds dangerous, especially if used indoors and without proper ventilation.

Now that I think of it, the last time I went to the Baltimore Comic Con, the fire alarm went off. Everyone had to exit the building. Could Mark Waid raining Hellfire on someone have caused the fire alarm to go off? This was before his promise on Facebook, but who knows if Mark Waid follows liner time. If he’s powerful enough to rain Hellfire, maybe he’s powerful enough to manipulate time and space.

I ANNOY MY WIFE ALL THE TIME
If it takes too long to see Mark Wade do his thing, I could have my wife go to Mark’s table to have him autograph my copy of Kingdom Come #3. She could then just casually mention to Mark that I annoy her.

It wouldn’t even be a lie. I annoy her all the time. She’ll ask me to do something and I then forget to do it. That’s got to be very annoying.

Once Mark hears that I’ve annoyed my wife, that I annoy her all the time, he’s obligated to rain forth his Hellfire upon me. He’s also obligated to flip my table. Considering that I wouldn’t have a table, that might be hard for him to do. He promised to do these things on Facebook, so by law, he has to do them.

That sounds like a lot of fun.

I like to imagine CB Cebulski mashing his face into a monitor where that dumbass interview is posted and snarling, "This is as good as a signed confession, you fucking moron!"

But maybe I've been reading too many comic books.

This would make an incredible fanfiction/8 page indie drawfag comic in a 4chan thread or something.

Christ, I get that Trump is a pretty shitty president if you're on the left but the amount of grief he apparently caused by existing is insane. They do realize the only real thing Hillary had going for her was that she was a woman right?

 

[Stock Image Photographer]

They do realize the only real thing Hillary had going for her was that she was a woman right?

A very small percentage of them realize this, but they'll never admit it. The vast majority of them genuinely believe that Trump is going to be impeached any day now for his unspeakable crimes against the American public, and that Hillary was a fantastic candidate who only could have lost due to a conspiracy.

The funny thing is the vast majority didn't think Hillary was a good candidate when she was actually running, they've only convinced themselves of that after the fact. She polled extremely lowly for trustworthiness and competence among Democrats the entire time she was running... everyone but the absolutely most deluded, brainwashed idiots knew she was a pure nepotism candidate with no actual redeeming qualities. It's only once she lost and they were worked into a lather by the doomsday foretellings that they all had to convince themselves that the world would have been a utopia under Most Glorious Hillary's reign.

NO LONGER ON TWITTER, MARK WAID YELLS AT STARBUCKS NEWSPAPER STAND
Written by Tess Harlowe on Tuesday, April 11 2017

After The New York Times covered Marvel's comments, an infuriated Waid berated the daily paper in person.


Source: New York Times

After his exit from Twitter, it was assumed that Mark Waidwould be more relaxed, and while he may have been, his relaxation was unfortunately cut short when a stop in his local Starbucks led to a shouting match with a newspaper stand. According to sources the event occurred when the Marvel writer inspected the day's edition of the New York Times, which featured a story on Marvel's slumping sales.

"It was quite disturbing," said part-time barista Danny Boggs, "He casually picked up the paper and flipped through it like he was considering buying it. I thought he was, but then something caught his eye and he just started yelling about some guy named David and how he was taken out of context."

This is not Waid's first temper tantrum. While Waid has had justified bouts of anger against harassment groups like GamerGate and non-Steve Wacker fans, he has also unleashed his wrath on less deserving parties such as the Girl Scouts of America.

According to the barista and several patrons who were waiting for their drinks, Waid continued to yell at the newspaper for a full thirty minutes before calling it a liar and declaring that he "did not have time for such things."

"He drowned out our Josh Groban playlist. Cecily was bummed by that because she loves the Grobes. But we just had to keep going. These frappucinos aren't gone blend themselves," said Boggs. "Then he just used our bathroom and left. Dude didn't buy anything."

There is no word at this time regarding what Waid had intended to order, but it is believed he would use the "Secret Menu" as it features one of Marvel's pre-approved words.

There needs to be a photoshop of that Simpsons newspaper showing Grampa yelling at clouds and replace it with Mark Waid yelling at a newspaper.
