*pokes the internet* Somebody talk to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Have you seen my previous post, with the Northstar news?

Um. Not being much of a Marvel person, I actually don't really know what you said there. And what happened. Wanna give me a summary, so I can rage as well?

Summary: Northstar is Marvel's best-known Gay Superhero. (Also Canadian. And snarky. Find scans here. Love!) He's being killed off by mindcontrolled!Wolverine in the next issue, even though the plot pointed to Rachel grey being offed, but, and I quote from the writer:
Having him murder a young teenage girl would have just been impossible for one of Marvel's premiere characters and a big mistake, I think. I'm not keen on seeing girls sliced up in comics.

Sexist and homophobic! GAH!

(Also, Nortstar = half of my current OTP, so I'm double pissed off.)

Killing off the gay guy. How very early 1950s of them.

Anyone plans to write them many many angry letters and get the fanbase to cause some noise? Post something on scans_daily, or.... get some people to start a riot. Or something.

Killing off the gay guy after a history of having him fall in love with straight (or "straight") guys, as well. Fuckers. I hate it when they come up with a gay character whose entire role in a series/movie is to be gay, and never even give him/her a proper love interest. Argh. And now he's outlived his usefullness, so he can die--better him than a girl, because god forbid we have actual equality, and the girls can get hurt as much as the guys do! Oh no, must protect the innocent maiden!

Fuckers.

My only consolation is that no one stays dead in Marvel universes. (Yes, Oh Entire Summers Clan, I am indeed looking at you!)

I'm not really in the fandom enough to organise anything, but I've no doubt others are on it already.

Tiny ugly unwashed ASSHOLES.

YES! I shall continue to live in the happy land of denial, and possibly write many AUs in which I fix all the stupid shit they did to the poor bloke.

Denial, AUs and ficcing. It's what's keeping us alive and vaguely sane.

Sane? What is this sane of which you speak?

It's the state where one does NOT run around shaking their fist at things and muttering at unsuspecting bystanders, "well he's NOT dead" or "well they're NOT broken up", while threatening violence towards various writers, producers, and network executives.

Feh, what fun is THAT? *goes to harass innocent bystanders*

Less fun than pornage.
