Now, here's a low in the world of comic book wank...
Gaia Online's Comic Discussion Forum is actually a fairly sane place to talk about comics. Most of the posters are pretty intellegent fans who have actually lucid and clear ideas on the books they read.

But naturally, there are some exceptions....

One subject has come up that has brought out the trolls like a goat carcass on a bridge. It's spawned a lot of talk and rancor, especially on the part of one poster, who role plays Spiderman.

What has brought out such vile?

Marvel's Civil War or World War hulk? No

DC's Countdown? No

It is in fact, Squirrel Girl that has generated all this hatred....

... Squirrel Girl?

An extremely well-executed running gag. A teenage girl with Squirrel Powers. On her first appearance she rescued Iron Man from Doctor Doom by getting squirrels to swarm him and vandalise his electronics. Since then she's beaten every single major supervillain in Marvel. Despite having powers that amount to buck teeth and a bushy tail.

Some people are amused by her. Some people feel she cheapens the genre. On which last, no comment.

I think you'll enjoy this Facebook group then: I Survived the Collins Squirrel Massacre of '07

It's got pictures and everything.

They freak me out! They like to sit on the windowsills or run across the side of the house and make that horrible raspy chittering noise. It's enough to make you think there's something eating through the bricks. *shudder*

When I was a small child, my mother told me that if I got too close to a squirrel, it would jump up and bite my face off.

Needless to say, to this day I have a massive phobia of the little fuckers, as well as some seething resentment issues.

So glad to be in Arizona. No squirrels, but if you ever want to see birds with less of an IQ than a hotdog bun, we're the place.

Squirrel Girl RULES. You don't believe me, go out to Scans Daily and look up her entries--in fact, there's been one in the last few days.

She's pwned Doctor Doom, Modok, and a dozen other badguys. She has the proportional powers of a squirrel and can talk to the little critters. She's incredible.

...

I think I said too much.

Now, now, now..

Everyone knows she should team-up with Cyclone. Possibly in a mission that involved hog-tying Poison Ivy and Misfit.

*blinking*

Ok, I really need to start writing fics again..

Mr T... I'm a long-time fangirl of both yours and Squirrel Girl. You wouldn't happen to have some other Mr Terrific images, would you?

There may be fan art in your future.

I think my favorite Squirrel Girl moment was when she kicked Thanos's ass and the Watcher was standing right there explaining how there was no possible way this Thanos could be a clone, life model decoy, or any other cop-out excuse fanboys have offered to explain that she never actually tossed anyone's salad.

She's the only one I'd let take Speedball from me, which is just as well as she'd kick my ass.

I said nothing!

You so don't want to fuck with Squirrel Girl. She made Doctor Doom her bitch, she crushed Deadpool under her heel. And she is always smiling, never an emo thought through her head. And she has a squirrel sidekick who always, always Speaks The Truth!

Galactus lives in constant fear of angering Squirrel Girl.

Tell me the issue is whether Squirrle Girl is 'awesome' or 'completely, totally, awesome'.

I love Gaia wank. There's something so heartwarming about messageboards full of adorable chibis just screaming venom at each other.

Gaia is not wanky? *looks at stats*

28 Gaia wanks to HPs over 500... I guess it is all relative.

Oh, I love Gaia wank. I'm always tempted to post the incredible entitlement whore stuff I see in Site Feedback, but since 90% of the participants are underage I usually don't bother. That said, I love the Squirrel Girl avatar. There's a lot of supers you can make with the items these days...

And here, have some SG ruling. :)

I dunno, I don't really see the big fight and "all this hatred". But it was probably because I was sidetracked by the hilariousness of the thread ... and this whole Squirrel Girl thing is awesome, so I don't care at ALL! =D
