Aa a man, something about this rubs me the wrong way. Not in the way their Dollarstore Comic Book Guy is uncomfortable because that's just fetish shit. I've become desensitized. It feels like they're making a lotta big swings that do not land. I wouldn't go so far as to say they've constructed a straw Man but this whole dialogue is set up in a way that doesn't seem authentic. Yes, I can agree that depictions of men in comic books is probably directed toward men but there's this assumption that it can't be serving multiple demographics.
I dunno. I probably won't think about this comic again after I leave this comment.
