Right now AnimeCon.org/Chrono LC CEO Ryan Kopf (who runs Anime Midwest, Animinneapolis, Meta Con, Con Alt Delete, Yoi Con, and several other events) is suing me in the state of Illinois over articles I wrote about him on my geek news site Nerd & Tie. Please consider contributing to my legal fund so I can continue to fight this case.

Because that would be weird.
hey Julie how’s that black eye lynn’s about to give you feeling?
I’m sorry Trae but that last line made me laugh. I have seen many people come and go and I have seen a lot of friction and I have been around many women that used that word so often to illustrate a point. I told you I’d find humor in this.
Maybe you shouldn’t admit that the grossest thing I’ve ever written in a comic amuses you?
Just a tip.
It’s just a word. The word made me laugh. I live in an area where women call each other whores quite often. Whether they are or not, it’s a word thrown around and that’s what I find funny. Because I have met many 16 year olds that called other women whores.
Langland, that is the most depressing thing I’ve read all day.
It is what it is I guess. I have an oddballl sense humor and I’m not always the most sensitive person out there.
Context matters. There are contexts where a word like that wouldn’t bother me either, but it’s fairly clear that it is being said here with the explicit intent to be hurtful. Whatever context would potentially make it funny, this isn’t it.
