Really terrible, for implying that all shippers are weak and then that women and homosexual men are weak too. Exactly. His disdain for anyone who isn't a straight, adult man is just jaw-dropping.
Thank you!
I think Simon was reasonable in simply telling the guy not to make statements like that, and move on, though the comment still remains on the board (which is a shame, and reflects poorly on the site). Agreed on everything.
And yes, KingofCretins got some points from me.
I promised myself I would stay out of Whedonesque after this issue came up, because it is simply getting too crazy over there. That, and I am actually (don't hurt me) enjoying the comics, and want to stay away from the negativity, even the completely reasonable kind. I think this was wise. And I wouldn't hurt you! It isn't for me, and I do think there are some issues with it, but I have no problem with you liking it.
