If your friend will be so upset that you enjoyed CW over BvS (which based on critic reviews so far, MOST people will), they are a pretty shit friend.

[(Anonymous)]

If they are a DC fan then they probably are shitty since DC has just bent over backwards to reward a serial abuser of women.

[(Anonymous)]

Just stop. You look stupid and nobody is either baited or entertained.

Okay, for folks who have no idea what Rad!Fem is talking about, here's a comic nerd with some facts! You still reading? here we go!

So Vertigo, a comic imprint DC owns, is being discontinued. It's editor, Shelly Bond, is being let go. The sales of Vertigo weren't doing so hot, so this is the decision they are making and so they don't need her anymore. They publically have wished her nothing but the best.

The move makes sense, even if it's unfortionate. The context, however, is this other guy DC is keeping (note when I say keeping that he had nothing to do with vertigo, there was no "choice" to keep one over the other). Eddie Berganza, an editor who works on superman, has this really, really bad rep. Lots of sexual harassment. At cons, at work. It was a thing a few years back. Now supposedly they gave him the business and he's cleaned up his act (though it's also said they just keep women far away from his department so it's not so much he's a better person as he has no opportunities).

Anyway, the truer statement that can (and has by saner people) been made is "how the fuck are they letting a great editor like Shelly go (she has done some good shit)" when Eddie fucking Berganza still has a job?"

Ok, so going by what you've just written, I'd say the statement from the so-called "rad-fem" is pretty accurate. Eddie Berganza is a serial abuser of women (if you equate harassment with abuse. If he physically touched the women then yes, that's abuse). And he's kept his job? Yeah, that's very sucky, from Vertigo's pov and sounds like they are 'bending over backwards' for this guy. I say this, particularly from the perspective that most businesses would fire a known harasser. IDK about the USA but here in Australia, there are pretty strong laws, in regards to sexual harassment in the workplace.

Someone writing stating this does not make them a 'radfem' or even a "feminist" IMO, it's just someone stating (albeit clearly pretty angrily) their perspective as to what's occurring, in that situation.

I have a friend who identifies as a "radical feminist" and when they talk from their perspective, it's pretty obvious that they are more from the "radical" side of things.

In other words, you can't go around making assumptions of people, based on one sentence they wrote on an internet page. I know people do this a lot but it seriously just irritates me.

[insanenoodlyguy]

But we actually have an anon here known as Radfem?

DA

[(Anonymous)]

But, uh yeah. That doesn't take anything away from the argument above yours. DC fucked up.

[lb_lee]

Ew. I hadn't heard about any of this, but well, that's a bad taste in my mouth for sure. Just... urgh.

(Also hi Noodles!)

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed. Taste in movies (or companies, or whatever) should never EVER cause someone to think that they might lose a friend.

I have absolute SHIT taste in movies. I'm completely undiscriminating. I love B-horror films, I love stupid action films, and my best friend of eleven years just rolls her eyes at me. She would never tell me not to watch them or talk about them. I might say, "Omg you should watch this, it's so terribad!" but I'd never be offended if she didn't (or did and hated it).

Even best friends don't have 100% meshing tastes. That'd be horribly boring...

[(Anonymous)]

Seriously, this. I unironically enjoy terrible werewolf movies. I have a friend who flat does not understand why. But neither one of us is going to throw over the friendship because of it. That would be dumb.

Are you coming to my streams? You should be coming to my streams.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not! But I should!

You really should! Also I put a link in now in case you never check the events tab.

[insanenoodlyguy]

I'm having a stream right now! You are invited! Scooby Doo 2, Then Jem and the Holograms, then Speed Racer! (Childhood Ruined, then Childhood Redeemed!)

If you really think you could lose this friendship over a comic book movie, you should break it off either way.
