Sunday is Kids’ Day at ECCC, the family friendly Seattle comic convention.
That’s right, comics fans! Teach your kids early that women are fodder to be raped and assaulted for the entertainment of male readers! I mean, that’s what comics are about, right?
Hey, at least ECCC is being honest about how they view us.
Oh wait, they issued a statement. That this was a mistake and they certainly don’t mean to tell women we’re not part of the community they want and we’re not safe at their convention–
“We are aware that some Fans are uncomfortable with the art depicted on the ECCC Sunday Badge. The art on the Badge is from the Image Comics’ series The Discipline. Within the context of the comic, it is understood that these images do not depict non-consensual acts or sexual assault. Without that context, such as on the face of a Sunday Badge, that is not clear.”
Oh. It’s AMBIGUOUS as to whether it’s sexual assault. I see. That makes it okay.
I mean, it’s like showing a consensual rape-play scene, right? It’s supposed to look like rape, it’s supposed to look non-consensual, but I mean, the participants know it’s fine and sure, if you have that context, you do too.
EXCEPT THERE’S NO FUCKING CONTEXT ON THE BADGE, AND EVEN IF THERE WERE, HOW THE FUCK WOULD THAT BE OKAY ON A KIDS’ DAY BADGE?
Or, on a badge at all.
Presumably you wouldn’t show a super-graphic scene of a torso being torn open on your badge, even if the context of the image was actually that it was surgery saving a life. So why a terrified woman having her blouse pulled open by a claw any different?
But hey, like I said, at least they’re being honest about the culture they’re proud of.
Genuine Question….
Does anyone else feel like Dom has lost some of her previous confidence since getting back from her travels in Brazil?
Like I know she suffers with anxiety, but it just seems to be hitting her harder since the 5 month travelling break.
Shes seemed really nervous and more lost for words at the recent cons and interviews. Ive just wanted to give her a big hug and tell her all is ok.
Anyone else noticed something like this?
If you’re at Emerald City Comic Con this weekend, head over to Miles’s booth and check out our book with these two in it, CLOVIS. As well as his other fantastic science based comics!
Hey all! @justinoaksford and I are tabling at ECCC this year, March 1-4, at Table #1410 (it’s in the Exhibitor’s Hall). I’ll have prints, postcards, stickers, comics, and original sketches. Come drop by and show me pictures of your cats!

to the person who actually had the nerve to ask about if klance or any romance would be in voltron:
The voltron cast does not deserve this. They’ve spent so much time on this show and the people who only care about the ships are ungrateful.

I’ll be exhibiting at ECCC for the first time this week (March 1-4), and have created a con-exclusive green and rose gold foil variant of my GenCon print to commemorate it!
Quantities are limited, so please visit early!
Though this version will once again be limited to on-site purchase, I do have plans to make a (non-foil) color variant available online later this year.

It’s the last day of ECCC! I’m buried in the Homegrown section (and really hard to find, I’ve been told). I brought lots of new products and I’m trying out con exclusives for the first time!

Hi all! Another reminder that I will be at #ECCC this weekend, and @myishah is graciously letting me be her booth buddy (W-6) on Saturday and Sunday. But check out all the cool stuff she is selling! Tote bags, prints (I may have to buy that Killmonger one bc I’m feeling it) and the first chapter of her original comic: “The Substitutes”. (Which I’ve read and can verify that it’s REALLY good) So make sure to swing by, say hello and meet another amazing artist!
