1. You are Making Our Community Look Bad

I've spoken before about this but when you guys flip your lids and turn into angry screamy manchildren spouting off death and rape threats, you make all of us look bad.

Grow the #$%* up and stop throwing #$&*ing tantrums. As a comic book reader of more than a decade, whose collection is in the thousands of issues, I feel ashamed every time I see one of you twitter-ing your little heart out about whatever's boiling your kettle this week.

I will say this once, and only once: SENDING DEATH THREATS MAKES YOU A DESPICABLE GARBAGE PERSON. Always. It is an unjustifiable action. There is literally no scenario where you sending a death threat to the creator of a comic book is in any way the action of anyone but a villainous piece of human waste.

You are not a crusader fighting for the restoration of the "true" Captain America, you are a bully. Plain and simple. A cowardly, childish bully. And even if you aren't sending death threats, writing to and harassing the creators, editors, or other Marvel employees? That makes you a bully too. And they're also the actions of an awful human being.

There's a reason I don't consider myself part of gamer culture anymore. Part of that is due to cyberbullying, death-and-rape-threat-spouting hate movements like Gamergate, but a lot of it is due to the culture becoming shockingly toxic. I'm not a gamer because gamers embarrass me. I don't want comic fans to have the same effect.

But hopefully my words have had some effect. Like what you like and don’t like what you don’t like, but please, honestly, calm down about it.
