"You're a soul sucking void leech ... why don't you like me?"
OK, I actually think this is kind of funny, but I thought it would be better to be on the safe side.

Dave Sim now demands fans sign a waiver or leave their name on a wiki declaring they don't believe he is a misogynist before speaking with them.

Write up here.

Option B is here.

Wow, the Wikipedia article really downplayed his misogyny. Women are a void, but he really just had issues with feminism.

He's crazy.

Wikipedia is famous for giant, ongoing edit wars over whether sexism even exists. It's not a real feminist-friendly space.

I suppose it would be too much to hope for that he would actually shut up if enough people don't declare him non-misogynist?

Pfft, like anyone'll do that, especially since Bats had an entire database on exactly how to take out every metahuman member of the JLA, including Supes.

God I love this guys logic. It's just beautiful. The only thing that would have crowned that letter more is if he blamed women for the fact that people view him as a misogynist.

Hmm, when everyone says you’re a misogynist…and nobody will stand up and defend you…and it gets to the point where you figure that nobody ever defends anybody because NOBODY EVER defends you in your conviction that you’re not a misogynist…and you get to the point where you can’t stand how often people are calling you a misogynist anymore….

MAYBE IT’S BECAUSE YOU’RE A MISOGYNIST!

Or to be brief: When the whole world says one thing and you say another…maybe it’s you that’s wrong!

Yep. That pretty much sums it up.

I love how he doesn't actually say he's not a misogynist, just that you have to say it.

(And I think it's freaking hilarious, though I see where misogyny in general is unfunny business indeed so that was probably a safe call.)

...And my guy comic book friends wonder why I won't read Cerebus, despite them constantly lending my trade paper backs that I "conveniently forget to take home with me".

The Maxx could kick Cerebus' ass anyway.

Oh, I feel a quote coming on!

"...You however, have a problem with women."
"How perceptive. Did you figure that out when I kidnapped you, or when I tied you up with leather straps? OF COURSE I'VE GOT A PROBLEM WITH WOMEN!! ...Everyone has a problem with women."

You know what would be funny? If he got a cease-and-desist letter, and wouldn't respond to it until the attorney agreed that he isn't a misogynist.

Wait, wait, WAIT!

Ok everybody, time to put on your thinking caps.

Who's the bigger misogynist in comics?

Dave "Void" Sim or Frank "WHORES" Miller?

Discuss.

I think we should demand that people sign an affidavit avowing that they believe Dave Sim IS a misogynist before being allowed to talk about him.

Love,

Notjo

PS: If you start a form letter that everyone can sent back to Dave Sim telling him exactly why we won't sign a waiver like that, I will not only sent it myself, I will convince many others to do so! With the power of my mind alone! But I believe that your snark will be so much better than mine, or I'd write it myself.

Personally I find this hilarious - it's hard to take this sort of overblown idiocy seriously - but good call on the placement nonetheless.

I love how he's so confused as to why no-one's standing up for him when he's called a misogynist.

I WONDER WHY THAT COULD BE.

Ah, Dave Sim.

I think he's going to go down in history as someone else akin to Wilhelm Reich -- everyone agreeing that he BEGAN as a genius, and that at some point he DID go crazy, but no one can agree precisely WHEN he went crazy.
