i still can't believe that "you should read comic books in the comic book fandom" is somehow some kind of spicy hot take tbh. comics are cool and some of them have my best friend superman in them. and if that's not enough they even have lois lane. what's not clicking

there’s honestly so much contempt for comics as a medium. i think it boils down to the idea that comics are “picture books” or inherently childish for having art. like dang bro, just say you’re allergic to beauty, and whimsy, and having fun

SOOO TRUE. people dismiss the entire medium in so many ways - too edgy, too racist, too boring, too this or too that - when it's like... a medium just like any other. just like with novels, yes, you will find that some authors are edgy, and some are racist, and some are boring. you will also find that others are fantastic, thought-provoking, and delightfully creative, with a lot of heart and a grand story to tell. comics are this exact same way. saying that comics aren't worth reading is like saying movies aren't worth watching. it's a broad generalization based on a complete lack of respect for the medium. like why don't you all go read action comics #792 and maybe then you will calm down :/
