That's about it!

Okay, so while I knew he had problems when dealing with criticism for awhile now, I finally reached my limit as to how much of his shit I can ignore, and promptly stopped reading his stuff

But, while I'm normally a very positive person who believes that complaining about things all the time is a bad thing, I need to bask in hatred right now

So, anybody with a problem with his work, is love to hear it. Let me here his worst attributes.

I can see that there are problems with his work, but I have to say the most recent 'oh my God he is saying that there cannot be happy lesbians because this particular character enjoys shipping tragic femslash' wank was like a parody of 'this is why we can't have nice things'.

Though I don't think 'getting butthurt because people misunderstand him and posting about how sad it makes him is the answer either. If you can't deal with that kind of criticism (and can't distinguish the silly from the serious stuff that needs addressing) then don't read your feedback.

He's a white guy who acts like he's a messiah for all the non-white/straight groups out there. He's essentially a living parody of the stuff he bitches about. The irony is so thick you could cut it with a knife.

I loved when he talked down to that Native American guy about not knowing his own culture's legends. LOL OKAY WHITEY YOU SHOW THAT GUY HOW HIS OWN PEOPLE DID THINGS.

I don't like the defensive way he responds to criticism, either. I like DoA, but I've seen him respond pretty uncompromisingly where Joyce comes in. When someone commented that Joyce's character development had basically been for readers to point and laugh at her weird Christian fundie ideas, he got really defensive. But we all have our hot button spots. I don't follow his tumblr or twitter, so link, please?
