Apparently some 20 year old college student is petitioning with her parent’s help to try and get some graphic novels taken out of her literary history class due to their violent and “obscene” content. One of these comics includes Persepolis, the autobiography of a young woman growing up in the midst of the Iran-Iraq war.

And that’s really fucking awful and probably rooted in some racism, but I don’t even want to comment any further than that, because as I’m sure you already guessed within seconds, there’s already legions of gross fucks screaming for her dismemberment, not necessarily because her views might be unfair and discriminatory, but just because she’s targeting anything to do with comic books. Whether she complained about Persepolis or Green Lantern these dudes would still be saying the same hideous chauvinistic shit about her.

Geek fandoms have gotten too disgusting to support or side with on any issue. Their default reactions to forms of “censorship” are more terrifyingly evil than the initial censorship ever actually threats to be. We’ve come full circle to where the people who fight for “creative freedom” are by far more villainous.
