So, ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
commodorified kindly tossed me a link to this post on comic book stores[1], and it prompted the following exchange:
There is a local comics-and-gaming store. I haven't been by in... more than three years, for reasons actually not related to this effect.[2] I will have to give it another try.
(Seriously, people. The comic book industry as something we'd recognize started in 1938[3] at the latest; I'm excluding joke-and-cartoon books, here, which predate that. And in seventy-three years this attitude has come into being and not died?)

[1] Yes, the title of the post is a reference. Much love for Tiptree.
[2] I went by one Sunday; was rather ignored, yes, but it was more the seriously noticeable funk that kept me away.
[3] Tangentially, because I love my tangents, two years before women were allowed to vote in Quebec provincial elections.
commodorified kindly tossed me a link to this post on comic book stores[1], and it prompted the following exchange: I'm embarrassed sometimes about liking horror movies, which tend to be racist, sexist, homophobic, neophobic, and often contain such characteristics that if they were a person they would be a person it was probably not worth my time to educate enough to talk to without wincing--but at least I can go into a video store and not wonder if I'm about to have a Someone Else's Problem field dropped on me.
I didn't know. And I'm so glad.
What the fuck, people.

(There isn't. I'm sure there isn't. I just seem to file things and not let go. Probably a bad habit.)
Watching Jericho while tidying up. It seems a bit blithe after Threads[1], but it's interesting background.

[1] For the record? Full Metal Jacket or Saving Private Ryan or Dawn of the Dead--any of the Dead movies, actually--might seem a bit blithe after Threads.
