The Wonder Woman trainwreck keeps on keeping on

It's a dark time in the DC universe. The Wonder Woman title is still stuck in some kind of inexplicable AU timeline where Diana finally got to wear pants, in exchange for not being actually heroic or effective or competent or anything.

How the main universe and nu!Wondy are even supposed to make sense together (since Wondy Classic has been MIA since this started) has so far stayed a vague, wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey open question. And as such a pivotal turning point for Wonder Woman the character *and* the mythos, of course somebody decided that it would best to reveal such a crucial part of her superhero origin in Superman's book and make it all. About. Him. (See exhibits A, B, C, D, E, and F for Why This Is Stupid And Sexist As Hell.)

Naturally, jlbarnett, limitless source of the unfunny, is just plain oblivious to logic as well as patronizing, spawning a long thread about the nature of the phrase "calm down." Apparently being angry with sexism is the real oppression at work here. Who knew?

	I wonder if when Linkara is going to rage about this. There, fixed. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Indeed. I saw one of his more recent reviews where he raged about the authors killing off a little girl solely for shock value, and how it ruined not only that comic, but the one she was introduced in, which was a good comic he enjoyed. I felt so bad for him, and for the character, because... yeah, no. I like Linkara. I find his accent rather adorable. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm going to guess Linkara was raging about the death of poor little Lian Harper. :( (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I realized after I saw that particular review that I had never seen him truly furious before. Suffice to say, it was not a pretty sight. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Exactly. He wasn't just raging for the camera. He was angry. (Reply to this)(Parent)
