Sat, 09 Feb 2013 19:57:45 +0000 http://blog.newsarama.com/?p=35109#comment-790042 I don't think DC is planning to suck and lose readers on purpose for a very simple reason: because they ARE losing them. That would mean they made a plan, then succeeded at it. What is the likelihood of that? It would imply competence. I would believe they made a plan to make the comics suck and drive away fans if the books ended up doing great and attracted fans like crazy.

I hope your family learns to support you as well. I've made more than one very stupid comment on Newsarama in my day. And those are the ones I recognized as such. I got called on a particularly bad one, and I had to take a step back and realize what I was saying, why, and then I apologized. And I've tried constantly to do better since. So, good on you for trying to do the same. ThePlainTruth: I hope things turn around for you. I hope your family learns to support you as well.

I'm coming to terms with some family issues after coming out to my parents over Christmas. They still haven't accepted it, so I lash out online. It's not just here at Graeme. I post hateful comments on youtube videos of kittens. Who does that? What's wrong with me? Time to rethink my life. Honestly, I’m struggling right now.

You guys at Newsarama are just trying to engage people in a friendly discussion about a common interest, and what do I do? I come in here constantly-- constantly!-- being caustic and disparaging to you like you're committing a crime. I mean... I go after Graeme for his content, but what original insight or point of view have I contributed? When you think about it? I fill the comment field in an effort to fill the hole within me. Things aren't great at home. I'm sorry. Listen, I’ve had some time to think about this, and I’d like to apologize.

Sometimes it pays off, and the iF article presents some examples that support it, at least in concept. DC is very IP focused now, and using their horrid battles over Superman (and Capt Marvel) over the years as an example it isn't too much a reach to see that they really really want to downplay the actual Creator component to their IPs' value.

I still love DC. So they clearly aren't losing me as a fan. 2. Given the unending snark and sneer at DC online, I can't blame DC if it really wants to lose the Internet fans, either. Sales are still up, so someone besides me must be enjoying things. Therefore, why try to cater to the snark crowd? 1. I still love DC. So they clearly aren’t losing me as a fan.
