It’s over here. He doesn’t have a PC, but apparently he’s getting it done somehow. I guess now Void women everywhere won’t be getting as uppity and stuff. Long live Male Light!
Note to those who haven’t read Cerebus: this is what we in the intarwub blogosphere call sarcasm. See, Cerebus used to be one of those fantastic comics that was absolutely mind-blowing, humane, really funny, and just all sorts of good comics. And then came Reads and Cerebus #186, where we found he’d been just kidding this whole time and he actually thought women were The Void to men’s Light, incapable of creating art on their own (except for his buddies Teri S. Wood and Colleen Doran). And then he got religious. Not religious then misogynistic, oh no, he went the other way around.
I still recommend Cerebus highly- even when its author decides to look down on half the population, it’s still a great comic with real merit. One day, I’ll do a huge write-up on why it’s great comics, sometime after the 35/30 project. I subscribed to the book for a year when I had significant problems getting it towards the end, and even talked to Dave on the phone. But just watch out for the wimmen-hating, okay?
It was actually issue #186 for the whole men are the light women are voids diatribe.
You’re absolutely right. I’ll edit this.
“And then he [Sim] got religious. Not religious then misogynistic, oh no, he went the other way around.”
If you are saying that Sim is misogynistic, I disagree. Most everything he says about women is true and accurate as far as I can tell. To call Sim misogynistic you would have to provide some evidence of hate, which I’m not certain you could do.
If you don’t believe characterizing women as “voids” is misogynistic, there’s not much I can do for you.
