DC Comics Targeted for Hiring Anti-Gay Author to Write Superman Story

[Vibranium]

Exactly. And where's the protest against gay-friendly Hollywood adapting one of his books into a movie?

there has been some noise about it, but nothing noticeable

Well, Everyone has there own problems. Like I said he has every right to believe what he wants. All I care about is if he could write a good Superman story. I pay my money to read Superman, I could care less about what he feels about anyone or anything. The world is a cruel place. He obviously will never get what he wants to go through so why even worry what the hell he says. He already has gotten his money from DC. All your doing is hurting the character and the future of the book my not buying it.

He is an avid anti civil rights and anti-gay activist, and actively WORKS to make sure people he doesn't like are stripped of basic human rights.
If life was a comic book, he would be a straight up super-villain.

Interesting, from a public relations standpoint, certainly. If you worked for DC-- and you were tasked to handle this in case the press (fan press, mainstream news, etc.), how would you handle this?

Apologize for the mistake, bury the story that he wrote, and maybe donate some money to some gay rights organization(s).

Most importantly, don't hire Mr. Card in the future.

accentuate the positive, hide the negative

cite his long standing published works, specifically the most successful being the Enders novels and that Enders game is an upcoming major feature

insure that while Mr Card has some views that are not popular, they will not affect or be reflected in his work with DC Comics

I love how the left officially endorses economic warfare against all social conservatives.

Sounds like a politician.

But to be serious and you could look at me any way you want, all I care about is reading a good Superman story. If he is capable of writing a good story then go for it.

I live in my own life and for those I love, I never get into politics or issues that really don't concern me or those I love and even then I try to stay out.

I find I live a much happier life that way.

its not a probem with social conservatives...its a problem with social conservatives who actively seek to deny equal treatment to anyone who doesn't share their views or look like them

but what do I know? I'm just a no account darkie

No just against people who advocate the overthrow of the govement, as Card has and who actively work to harm people.

[BBally]

I'm just curious if they targeted Marvel when they hired him for Ultimate Iron Man.

Maybe because Iron Man at that point wasn't considered a major comic character the mainstream would care about since this was before the movie came out and Superman is a popculture icon.

I just found out that Card wrote the insults for the insult swordfighting section for the original Monkey Island game.

Personally. I'm have no intention to pay for his run anyway (since I can't buy digital comics anyway out of fear of hackers hacking into my bank account

Oh horse excrement.

It's not economic warfare to request that a company not give work to someone who is actively working to deny part of the population rights readily given to every other parts of the population.

This is about people facing up to the consequences of their actions, not sanctioning someone for their opinion.
