In Avengers endgame, Fat Thor is the butt of many jokes, this is because Marvel thinks Survivor’s guilt and PTSD are funny subjects.

The majority of the owner-writers of Cards Against Humanity wanted to put the n-word into the game. After their one black staff member, Nicolas Carter, asked Max Temkin, founder of Cards Against Humanity about the reasons behind each person saying ‘yes’ to doing so, and how it happened, Temkin told the head writers to fire him.

CAH head staff escalated things by contacting Carter’s family, threatening ‘disciplinary action’ and to fire Carter, then a staff member helped get Carter wrongly institutionalized, where he faced heavy racism.

FUCK Cards Against Humanity

Guys, read the article. His writing is collected and lucid. The things he’s saying are very, very disturbing nonetheless.

The article addresses his personal experience in double standards, and having to break the ( Black ) Glass Ceiling at work but knowing to deescalate to save himself. It talks about capitalism and compliance for the sake of your financial state. It talks about being set up, gaslit, and betrayed by people who pretended to listen, and about said people power harassing you beyond the experience, and intimidate you and your must vulnerable and unrelated family members.

He was reported as having “disappeared” for two years while he was in the mental asylum. The company tried to make him sign a disclosure contract a week after he was released. They also tracked him to his work place and convinced their boss to fire him.

It’s a collected plea for attention and action. It is very painful to read how the Cards Against Humanity writer and owners team got away with so much, and all because they wanted the N-Word Pass on their stupid game ( which he learned was the reason he was hired in the first place ).

These are the three influential people mentioned in the article:

Jo Feldman: Co-Head Writer, married to Andy Kushnir.

Andy Kushnir: a writer in Cards Against Humanity and husband of Jo Feldman. He was the guy who reported and filed the “evidence” of Nick’s “strange behavior”. He was also the person who made the report to the mental health institution. His LinkedIn is unavailable and his website was taken down.

Julia Weiss: Co-Head Writer, who was reportedly out in Germany when Andy and Jo threatened Nick and sent him to the mental health institution. The Weiss_Tea Twitter has been deleted.

Night in the Woods and Oneshot are both in it, not to mention literally hundreds of other cool indie games I haven’t played yet that look really cool and promising. 

Also I’d like to reiterate it is $5 minimum for over $3,400 worth of content, which is just fucking insane.

do you ever think about how barry allen’s name was originally barrence – that it was outright stated in panel – until some writer came along and just decided it should be bartholomew instead and,,, wrote it in. just like that. changed a character’s established name because why not. comics are truly wild

Barrence? 😂 Can… can I have a source, cause I am dying here.

what’s funny is that he was called barrence all throughout silver/bronze age comics

and then when kurt busiek and mark waid were discussing naming bart allen/impulse, kurt recollected in the flash companion book that “i suggested that mark call him bart, short for ‘bartholemew’, as a way of naming him after his grandfather, but not using the nickname. mark liked the idea a lot, but then both of us realized at the same instant that barry’s actual first name had been ‘barrence’. we were crestfallen for a few seconds — two comic geeks going, ‘no, wait, crap’ over burgers and a piece of trivia; i’m sure it was a sight to see — before mark pointed out that nobody knew barry’s real name except geeks like us” skhdkscksdbjwhedskjdks

I think “all throughout silver/bronze age comics” is an odd way to say “in an issue or two in the mid-Eighties, and maybe by just one guy.”

I can’t remember offhand if anyone but Dexter Myles called Barry “Barrence,” but if it was just Dexter, it could have been an affectation. I have a friend who calls me “Buckmo,” but that doesn’t establish it as my real name.
