"I'm old enough to remember when you had to hide the fact that you liked comics if you didn't want trouble. Now you have a bunch of hipster douchebags claiming to be comic nerds while not even liking them."

I'm old enough to remember when you had to hide the fact that you liked comics if you didn't want trouble. Now you have a bunch of hipster douchebags claiming to be comic nerds while not even liking them.

You can tell they don't actually like them because, to paraphrase, "I've always been such a huge fan of comics. Loved them since forever. Now change everything about them or else you're all racist misogynist homophobes." People who're actually fans of something don't demand classic characters be changed or replaced because they're the wrong race, sex, and/or orientation. Neither do they want tales of heroism replaced with superhero slice of life stories full of terrible faux Whedon snarky dialogue.

A lot of people blame Big Bang Theory, but I have to believe there's more to it than just that.
