I had to read halfway through this before deciding it was a parody, and I'm still not sure.
I was fairly certain at "the Grobes" but yeah.

The strong protect the weak, they also get to decide who qualifies as weak and what action is required. Effectively the implicit message is the strong rule the weak for their own good.
Is all this because Marks presumes himself the strong and so lord and master over the weak?

I can always expect enlightening conversations like this from “I Hate Centrists” and a guy with a Superman avatar.Finally found the posts I was looking for:

>he’s 56What gets me is that this is a 56 year old man acting like a fucking 12 year old on the Internet. Every single social media account he has is full of temper tantrums that wouldn't look out of place from someone a third of his age. I know quite a few older people with social media accounts, and they mostly stay quiet, content with sharing stupid pictures and jokes. But this dude flies off the handle at every perceived slight.
Not to mention, this dude's supposed to be a professional (keyword: supposed). Professionals shouldn't act like this, but then again, it does say a lot that he's not the only dumbass at Marvel pulling this shit.

Mark Waid said:That’s...It’s tough to answer, because I’m trying...you don’t want to give oxygen too much to toxic toxic people but what he’s basically talking about there is, there are....just as there are unpop I mean right in the world right now it just in the comic books in the world you got heavily you know male heavy um movements of guys who are trying to move things back towards white supremacy, back towards a world which women knew their place, uh that kind of nonsense, um and (they’re within the proud boys) or they’re you know this group or that group and Comics has you know a group or 2 like that too, Comics fans have a group who have better (inteligable) are to too and it’s changed, um tryin to say without inflaming anything, recently um one of them, one of these groups kickstarted a comic and great awesome they’re gonna do they’re own graphic novel cause they’re super, hyper conservative guys and the myth was, the rap* was that comics was not interested in creating conservative creators or we’re not, we’re throwing conservative creators out, that’s not the case at all, it’s a lot of conservative creators in comics, we, we’re throwing assholes out, that what we’re doing for every, for every conservative asshole who we don’t work within comics, there’s 10 liberal assholes who we don’t work within comics, so if that’s not, there’s no, there’s no political yardstick here, uh these guys created the, they did their comic, great awesome, then they started doing things like making a list of the stores, there was, there was a bunch of the stores that decided they were not going to carry the comic, so these guys made a list of those stores and their phone and the numbers and the names of first and last of all their employees and with the idea that “Oh no, don’t call them and harass them, I’m not telling you to do that at all.” (said sarcastically), but here’s their phone numbers and their first and last names of all their employees, but c’mon so, there was a publisher here in Texas who was going to publish their comic, where, after their kisckstarter they were gonna publish it for comic stores and there was a huge amount of hatred toward that publisher at this moment there was a, most people in comics, most fans of comics were looking at this as “How? What are you doing? These guys are, these are indefensible human beings.” uh they are, they, they harass women, they harass minorities, they harass lgbtq people, they’re full of hate, What are you doing? And my feeling is, look let baby keep his bottle , I, I don’t care who published the comic, I don’t care wether you publish this comic or not i don’t care but I knew the publisher and I don’t think he was aware of why all of a sudden there was this gigantic ground swell of hate towards him, so I said before a hate mob burns his place to the ground, let me call him and find out what’s going on, wether he understands (unintelligible) if he wants to publish it that’s great I don’t care but I just, I know the guy and want to make sure he knows why the hordes of Hell are defending upon him right now, that’s seems reasonable right? You know long story short, I did call the publisher and said “You do what you want and I’m not, I’m not asking you to not publish it, I’m not even saying, I’m not saying anything, I just curious what you’re thinking.” And the answer was “Oh my god, we had no idea, like we really didn’t vet this before we decided to publish it.” And so they made an announcement that they weren’t gonna publish it, uh that’s their choice, I wasn’t, i you know I, I didn’t, I wasn’t intimidating them, I wasn’t pushing them into doing one thing or another, I just wanted to, to look out for him, make sure he understood why people are angry at him, um and so that turned into what, me getting death threats every, you know 5-6 hours for a while, I’m cause I clearly hate, you know I clearly hate conservatives, because I didn’t, I said, I’m clearly I’m bullying comics, apparently I’m bullying comic publishers, I’m calling publisher and bullying into not publi-, if I can, if I can bully publishers I’d be rich, if I could bully publishers I’d be writing Superman tomorrow, I can, there would be so many things I would be doing if I were really, if I had a power to make publishers do what I wanted them to do, um does that kinda answer you question? It’s kinda, it’s uh, uh, people can you know feel what they wanna feel, ah uh yeah, you are, you aren’t, you aren’t with them are ya? Okay. I didn’t, I didn’t drive you guys out did I? One more question.
Well, I see why he never tried to make a career out of public speaking.Time stamp (18:34)
https://youtube.com/watch?v=AbLVYvXnwp0I made a rough trancript of what Waid said:
Probably. He's probably one of those "We'd all be better off living under Dr. Doom's benevolent dictatorship" sorts that the comic industry seems filled with.

So is Mark Waid ever gonna get sued?
