Regrettably I'm a patient person. I take a lot of hits to the chin before I rant... and then I rant and rant and rant tirelessly until things are resolved. And honestly if I'm pushed to the point to ranting, dear world, you deserve what's coming.

But I realize now, I post more often the rants than the resolutions. So, concerning my previously subject rant, I'm (happily) obliged to report on Con Anti-Harassment Project!

This isn't to say 'oh, something is being done, so I can sit back and feel secure'. Exactly the opposite! Something is being done because we're doing it!

So, Go, Poke-Prod, Contribute, RePost. Inform the masses... thanks for reading and for the little peace of mind that's granted me. ^_^
Conventions can't completely eliminate harassment. They can be prepared to act upon it when it occurs, and send a clear message to harassers that they are not welcome.

Comics oughta be fun. Comic book conventions ought to, as well. But as long as harassment goes on and there is no clear-cut official written rules on convention behavior and what to do in circumstances or physical or mental assault, our hobby runs the risk of alienating and endangering those within it.

There has to be an even medium. Turning a blind-eye isn't an option...neither is going into a blind rage. This isn't a feminist thing, it's a humanist thing. Because we are human first. We should start acting like it. Cross Post. ReBlog. Do Something. please.

rant )

edit/add [1]: I want points! Someone acknowledge that I didn't even get into my great hate of fillers! I am trying to separate the comic/manga geek from the cartoon/anime one. It is hard work ^^;

edit/add [2]: The thing about fan-art; it cures all. really it does.

Teen Titans: It kills me that it's canceled. THIS kills me in a whole different way.

Naruto Dubb; "Believe it"? It's "Dattebayo, bitch"

FF7: A prequel to end all prequels.

Naru-Toads!!: Animerica at it's finest.

edit/add [6 or 7-ish]: I know someone posted recently, but not too recently, the link to a fan-art comic recapping Brokeback Mountain and the silly that is Ennis's excessive mumbling. I can not find it now, and I am sad. I have impending dentistry in about an hour; surely someone will take pity on me and send me the link again. Pretty please?? I ask for so little...

- Apparently it's "a real white-bread industry," according to Gary Groth, editor of The Comics Journal and co-founder of alternative publisher Fantagraphics.
*Urge to smack, rising*

- And Student arrested for zombie stories, turned in by his grandparents.
Yes, well, Zombies are inherently evil. Obviously the child must be too. I say, the only justifiable punishment is to have the Principle eat his brains. Oh, wait, US-school system? Too late.

Can't have a comic rant without a Manga rec and shush you, I'm not being hypocritical. I recommend what is worth an investment not trendily suitable. Oh, man, this just makes me want to rage at the whole Rising Stars of Manga thing again. Maybe I should just meet [livejournal.com profile] ali_wildgoose for lunch and have it off again in person. She's seems yet to be deterred by my insightful yet entirely profane rantings on the comic industry. Or maybe she's just dead-good at faking. <.<

Right, the Rec. Alichino.

I fairly sure no words I can say will do it justice. Just, yeah... *adores Hyura*

You miss a day you miss a world of crazy, although I've actually been missing around two weeks. There are fumes all over my place, paint fumes to be sure but still I've been at my sisters and intend to stay there for a while yet, migraines providing. Just thought, if anyone was trying to get a hold of me I'm not here, well in the existential sense of the word maybe but the whole on-line being, not so much. So, if you're thinking I hate you and that's why I'm not replying, well, you're 50/50 on that one. I am pretty full-up with hate lately.

'cept for [livejournal.com profile] misstuesday.
You can carve yourself anyway you like, princess, I'll still think you're the prettiest pumpkin in the patch! <3
