[quote]call attention to the furor caused by the company's recent decision to hire Orson Scott Card, scifi author and ardent detractor of gay rights, to write Adventures of Superman. [u]Angry fans and retailers alike are planning to boycott the Superman comic in general, and some DC in particular unless Card is removed.[/u][/quote]So I thought you "gay rights" people were supposed to be some sort of "open-minded gods."
Huh, weird.

If the person they hired was racist and people boycotted them as a result, you wouldn't be insulting the boycotters, despite this being the exact same scenario.

Basic cognitive function, from the looks of it.

Just curious- how would you argue that not supporting the work of somebody that tries to take rights away from people is close minded? That just seems backwards.

Edited by Frost: 2/22/2013 12:06:09 AMBoycotting someone's work (work that I assume will have little to do with Card's beliefs) simply because they don't agree with you doesn't come across as "open-minded." Seriously, it's a comic book, read it for the writing/story, not because you do/don't agree with the author on an issue that probably has little to do with story.
