Emma_Clare at 12:00AM, Nov. 30, 2018



I have favourite characters. There, I said it.

One Bad Apple

It's a vampire, break out your torches and pitch forks! The geek have inherited the earth, but far from it being an accepting utopia, the acceptable targets have just changed and the haters run free. There are a lot of things that people like to crap on, but few ...

Lately there has been this pattern that I've noticed in both social media and mainstream comics/cartoons outlets that is very saddening: the use of denigration and belittlement as a promotional tactic, or as an argument.

More and more I seem to notice that new series, reboots, retellings or ...

3,2,1, Let's Jam!

Amelius at 2:44PM, Nov. 11, 2018
