Xmen Monday 106

[PetPigeon]

If you're judging, supply your twitter handle. Let's see how sweet some of you are.

Wow! Just wow. Yeah, I'm sorry, but there is absolutely no justification for that kind of response to someone, I don't care what they said to him. I could never even imagine saying something like that to someone in real life or online. There should be a minimum standard of conduct for someone in the public eye and entertainment business. I truly don't understand how some stranger on the internet can so get under a person's skin that they would respond that way. And yeah, the same goes for Remender's comment as well.

EDIT: And no, I wouldn't want him fired or something over it, and I enjoy some of his writing and am looking forward to his X-Men, but sheesh. I just can't believe people are actually defending this kind of response.

No offence intended but this is a lil pearl clutchy imo. I tell people to eat a bag of dicks on the regular. You don't even know the context of that specific conversation.

[OmegaStorm87]

I can only imagine the comment was aimed at a certain user on these boards known to harrass writers on Twitter

Really? That person should be banned tbh.

Do you tell people to drown in hobo piss on the regular also?

I agree, sometimes it looks like some fans think they are owned the attention of the writer, the author, the singer or the artist but that´s false, they don´t own them anything, they just get work done that fans can choose to buy or not buy,criticize, like, dislike or think it´s well done or not but to choose to harrass a writer because they made them mad with their work is wrong, there are ways to get the point across without being rude.

No, it isn't. Not that I know the user but the context has nothing to do with CBR. I won't post it here because I'm afraid of people harassing the artist

Just read the whole conversation, Gerry was right to say that. I don't even get why this is an issue. The same usual suspects

Just because someone tweeted a bored gif? that is the context.

Fans are certainly not owed anything by writers, beyond a reciprocal basic courtesy. I agree with you.

No the whole conversation. As for back on topic Planet Sized X-Men looks great

Ew gross only untalented straight bros stuck in the 90's would use such a shitty insult.

Yes basic courtesy, mutual respect is the way.

there isn't nothing ofensive before or after it from the artist, I read it all. Except for Duggan threatening to blacklist the artist from marvel comics.

Really, It's no more difficult for the person to whom he responded to address his ideas and concerns in a thoughtful, respectful manner. It goes both ways.

Agreed. I am certainly not condoning the behavior of whoever he responded to. I just think the professional should take the higher ground and not have such thin skin when it comes to interactions with fans.

No offence intended but this is a lil pearl clutchy imo. I tell people to eat a bag of dicks on the regular. You don't even know the context of that specific conversation.

Maybe it is pearl clutchy. I don't mind if it is though. I truly try to treat others the way I want to be treated. I have never in my whole life called anyone a bad name or tried to insult someone in that manner. I don't care if that makes me weak or a goody two-shoes in the eyes of some.

Anyway, I avoid looking into or following my favorite writers and artists for exactly this reason.

[Devaishwarya]

"We go high when they go low" is a lovely sentiment but is ultimately pointless when dealing with certain Twitter/Internet trolls.

Ideally, the best resort is to block the offensive person at the very first sign of discourtesy...but...there is a certain amount of personal satisfaction to "cuss way dey MC" (Trini parlance) before you actually block them.

[ZuLuLu]

The person Duggan was responding to called him an a**hole.

While people can have different views, I didn't see it as a threat to blacklist the artist, and at the time the person didn't take Duggan's jab as such I don't know if their views has changed since then.

That said I thought Duggan's response was rude and unnecessary.

[Hizashi]

Yes basic courtesy, mutual respect is the way.

It really is as simple as that. On that note, I'd like to thank you and everyone else I've been debating with (in this and other threads) for being so polite; I understand that these are pretty contentious topics, so it's been nice that it hasn't gotten ugly.

Agreed. I am certainly not condoning the behavior of whoever he responded to. I just think the professional should take the higher ground and not have such thin skin when it comes to interactions with fans.

Yep, basically.

Not calling you a fibber, it's just very odd to find people like that these days. An old childhood friend of mine was pretty famous around the neighborhood for how strict his mother was about manners and rude words, as a kid you'd feel bad for him. I'm sure he's a bit of an anomaly wherever he is now.
