Batgirl #37 has been heavily criticized for transphobic content, and the creative team has offered a statement of apology.

An insincere corporate apology, though.  All part of going through the motions in today’s entitled little culture of being offended.

The SOCJUS censorium jacks each other off regularly, proud of their work, as they do legitimately think they’re making the world a better place.  They don’t believe their censorship is censorship, in fact they have a bevy of excuses for why they’re not censoring anyone, while from the same mouth they vilify people who hold unpopular opinions, and try to get them fired from their jobs, or ostracized by friends and family, which is censorship, as it is punishment of a person for their words or opinions; more and more today, they are harmless opinions, because when socjus realizes they can wield power over other people’s words, they see no reason to stop wielding that power.  Why just have a little social justice when you can have ALL THE JUSTICE? as they would probably say.

The result is a singular ideology of closed minded people who are all forced to agree with each other, or face consequences of being demonized by SOCJUS as well.

Here’s a fine example.  An adultering whore who proclaims herself a proud feminist makes a dull lazy comic about “following your dreams” and the typical happy horseshit, except of course also wishing for “the destabilization of the patriarchy,” a mythological concept that feminists choose to believe in because it gives them an enemy to combat, even when the enemy is not there, in fact the greatest enemy is the feminist’s own lack of ability, drive, and ambition.

The comments display the acceptable groupthink for this ideology:

>Deeply offended by the last entry! Where do I send my misogynist rant?

It’s just about ethics in comics journalism!

In two comments, the lies are constructed for SOCJUS to listen and believe in:  disagreement is hatred of women, and gamergate is also hatred of women supposedly disguised as a consumer revolt against a corrupt media, regardless of the objective proof that the media is corrupt, needs to be revolted against, and gamergate has actually damaged and discredited a great deal of that corrupt media, as well as informing thousands of people about that corruption.

It’s possible that this event will just be the spark that sets off a backlash against SOCJUS in the comics world.  If comic readers take this time to speak up against social justice, and how they don’t want a screeching minority of whiners to decide what comics they can and can’t read, then it could perhaps build to something resembling a gamergate for comics.

Myself?  I don’t much care.  I’m already against the corrupt ideology of social justice, but I don’t read superhero comics anyway, I see them as already pretty restrained and dull (the genre itself I don’t think is very necessary).  I don’t want social justice comics, and my solution is to read or create the comics I do want to read.

But I think it might be time for comic book readers to take a stand.  Do you want others to be bullying the creators of your comics?  Or do you want your creators to be unlimited in the content they create?
