>YOU! you take the ramp, because your handicapped..... mentally.

>Let's ignore that it's complete fiction that I "fixed the worst errors" in the article - I didn't change a single thing about what I said of the direct market - and look at Heidi's main gripe - that I implied that Marvel and/or Diamond invented the direct market. Of my very long rant, I must assume Heidi is cherry-picking a few sentences, which I'll reprint below:

>The direct market was created to solve a "problem" for publishers, and is beneficial to literally no one else in the comics food chain, other than perhaps Diamond itself.

>[...]

>But as fucking great as it was to have comics in places like grocery stores, and to have millions of people reading them, major comics publishers (read: Marvel) had a problem. They had to make good comics that people wanted to buy, or else they would be returned to them and Marvel wouldn't make much of a profit. And you can't pay for the cocaine budget of a young Rob Liefeld if you're constantly paying for returned comics.

>So the industry came upon a brilliant idea: get all the stores that specialized in selling comics, lock them into a single closed distribution system, and refuse to accept returns for unsold comics anymore. Now, Marvel didn't need to make comics that people want to read in order to get paid. All they have to do is convince retailers to buy the comics, and that can be accomplished with all that hype and gimmickry we talked about before. And that's exactly what happened, so that by the turn of the century, specialty shops (or occasionally a single, isolated shelf in Barnes and Noble) were the only places where anyone could purchase comics.

>Yes, that's it. The actual substance of my rant was focused on the audacity of Marvel's top writer blaming fans for the cancellation of a book and insisting that pre-ordering comics - that is, agreeing to purchase them sight unseen - was the only way to keep them alive. A description of the direct market only served to describe the landscape in which comics currently flounder, or at least, greatly underperform their potential, and the "rant" format isn't one well suited to detailed historical accounts in any case. But Heidi was far from my only critic. Several others used my lack of a detailed account of the decades-long history that led to the current state of the comics industry as an excuse to dismiss or downplay the actual points I made.

>There were even misguided posts from Eisner Award winning indie comics creators who must not have read the article, since they didn't even realize that I'm not talking about them - just Marvel and DC - when I tell readers not to preorder comics and instead buy the comics they want, when they want, in the format they prefer, as is their right as consumers. I happily preorder comics from publishers who aren't backed by gigantic corporations on a regular basis and encourage others to do the same. Nevertheless, Gene Ha wrote:

>To be fair, there were also tweets of support from people I deeply respect and admire, which are more appreciated than they probably know:

>Pic Related

>There were also plenty of subtweets from Mark Waid and others in the comics establishment, who clearly have a vested interest in protecting the comics status quo. But the sentiment was the same across these detractors: my history of the direct market was "inaccurate," and therefore, my rant was wrong. However, while I'll admit my history wasn't anywhere near complete, the fact is that it was never meant to be, and it didn't need to be either. To take offhand, cynical remarks about the creation of the direct market and assume that I believe, or want others to believe, that Marvel and Diamond decided one day to cease the lucrative operation of selling comics on news stands and give birth to the direct market, fully formed, is disingenuous at best. I'm aware that it took decades to get to where we are, and that the news stand business was drying up for comics, and that a lot of people and organizations were involved in the evolution of the direct market.

Kuzco, obviously.

This.

Let's examine the finalists:

Aurora, who just upon learning she is a princess, cries over how she cannot a man she just met. But then everything turns out peachy.

Ariel, who is the princess of two different kingdoms, constantly sought more, & got a fancy new vagina.

Jasmine, who never knew the travesties of reality, acts like she knows everything, has an I'm-better-than-thou attitude, & like Aurora, cries when she has to marry for her job.

Anna, who is literally retarded, complains about being lonely in a castle of staff & loving parents, offers no assets nor skills to better herself & her kingdom, only thinks about herself on the most important day of her sister's life, entrusts a stranger with everything when she goes on an ill-prepared adventure, & doesn't learn shit from her life-changing adventure.

It's Anna. Anna's the winner, but at least the rest are attractive & actually are popular.
