Geeze! What do employers and clients think employees and sole traders get by on these days? A few lungfuls of air? Very disheartening. I hope that they genuinely make it up to you.Originally Posted by UltraMarginal

I really, really, really hate comics fandom. Really. Really. Really. I don't think I can understate it.

Pay came through this Tuesday finally, everyone has been chasing it up, apparently thre is one person in the pay office in Canberra who is a so and so. My local HR person had over 5 unresponded to emails to the pay office on my behalf.
it should be fine, I just have to make sure it's the right amount.

Why's that? I mean, any group that large is going to have good and bad, but hating comics fandom as a whole? I am certain there are those of us Ozformers that also fit into the category of "comics fandom". Surely you don't hate us too?

Oh no, I absolutely hate the comics fandom, the disgusting attitudes towards minorities, the general cluelessness. But! I do like fans. It's just the general unpleasantness of the fandom that I hate.Why's that? I mean, any group that large is going to have good and bad, but hating comics fandom as a whole?

So your gripe is less with comic fandoms and more with society in general…

No, Gouki's gripe is with comics fandom.
Comics has a horrible track record with representation of minorities - and in real life too, so few black or female writers in the industry - because the bulk of the comics are by white males. Recently there was a comics panel about Marvel comics and a fan brought up that in Age of Ultron Luke Cage was killed off panel and there was a lot of awkward jokes from the Marvel panelists because they didn't know how to address this problem.
Yet, Dan Slott kills off Peter Parker and the Internet breaks from the fan rage!

It's my own fault really but I lost the head to the foc jackpot I was making ;_; ;_;
Hopefully I can find a loose foc jazz at the parra collector's fair next weekend ;_;

RE: Comics
Heh, I still can't get over the fact that according to the Transformers IDWverse, Taiwan borders North Korea (but still flies the Chinese flag).Could be worse. Could be Michael "Jordan borders Egypt and Giza is within eyeshot of the sea" Bay!
Mebbe it's a 'Murica thing.

And how exactly is this fandom's fault? I generally don't buy comics of the 'Big 2', and avoid books with the kind of stereotypes you mention. But I, as part of comic fandom in general, am to blame for these issues?
Taking it a bit further, Bay's three TF films had a fair amount of racism and mysoginy, am I, as a part of Transformer fandom (as well as a fan of films) to blame?
I'm just not sure how a blanket hatred of fandom is warranted.
