I have a lot of questions about different parts of this title that I don’t understand, but I support him.
Marc Tyler Nobleman was supposed to talk to kids about the secret co-creator of Batman, with the aim of inspiring young students in suburban Atlanta’s Forsyth County to research and write.
Then the school district told him he had to cut a key point from his presentation — that the artist he helped rescue from obscurity had a gay son. Rather than acquiesce, he canceled the last of his talks.
I want the title of “Batman researcher”
Dark Knight Detective
World’s Greatest Detective Detective.
Imagine how difficult it is to try to tell people that you are, globally, the pre-eminent batman researcher…
If he’s the best, then he’s the World’s Greatest World’s Greatest Detective Detective.
Feels like they’re Robin you by not granting it.
These policies are riddled with discrimination and hypocrisy. These extremists need two face reality and put a freeze on them.

You’re quite the joker, aren’t you?
…batman researcher?
Comic Book Historian would have been a better title. I thought “batman” might have been referring to an unrelated school or something.
Then the school district told him he had to cut a key point from his presentation — that the artist he helped rescue from obscurity had a gay son. Rather than acquiesce, he canceled the last of his talks.
“We’re long past the point where we should be policing people talking about who they love,” Nobleman said in a telephone interview. “And that’s what I’m hoping will happen in this community.”
They didn’t ask him not to “say ‘gay’”, as the title all but claims. They asked him to participate in the erasure of a relevant gay person from a story he was teaching to children.
I dunno, would he mention the artist had a straight son? Or is it just a son in that case?
Wait, was it a relevant person?
It’s the son of the artist, right? Did the son have anything to do with Batman? Did the son’s sexual orientation have anything to do with Batman?
What else is relevant about the son? Was he an artist? A writer? What did he do for a living? Did he have any relevant health disorders? Food preferences? Did he have any children?
BROADLY SPEAKING, your sexual preferences are the least interesting or relevant things in any conversation, unless we’re considering dating each other.
I don’t know the history of Batman so maybe it’s actually relevant, but my gut says it’s just not.
who gives aa shit. telling people what words they can and connote say is the censorship in the extreme.
cannot. for some reason my screen dims when i try to post. won’t post again. for now.
I don’t disagree with you at all.
I was responding to someone claiming they were deleting a relevant gay person from history - I was challenging the “relevant” part, that’s all.
I personally couldn’t care less what this guy put in his presentation.
The son’s name is Bruce, his husband’s name is Wayne.
Holy crap I’ve never been so amazed. Yup, 100% relevant.
The son’s name was Fred Finger, and he died unmarried in his 40’s due to complications from AIDS.
The guy above was joking.
Well it was a good joke.
And that sucks. Fuck AIDS.
What’s your gender identity and sexual orientation?
I identify as tired.
Oh man, I’ve never thought to identify that way. But that’s a good one.
Head of the Batman Research Institute at the Harvard School of Comics.
He was the researcher they needed but not the researcher they deserved.
I am the night… researcher.

This is such bullshit.
The world is way more tribalistic than most people realize.
You say or do anything that goes against the tribe you’re in, you’re going to have a bad time.
I think you have it backwards. People realize tribalism so intrinsically it doesn’t even register.
The beauty of the social justice push we’ve seen from the 70s to today is that it actively tries to counteract the human tribal instinct to create a more fair and inclusive world. Granted, I’m not sure how successful it’s been at removing tribalism… it just seems to have redefined the tribes.
Yes, I’m referring to the school or community as the tribe.
Even if they’re wrong, since there’s more of them than you, they’re right.
That’s pretty much all it is or has ever been. I’m fine with it though. We are what we are.
I’m just happy to be here to play a little music and video games.
My tribe’s music of course. My tribe makes the best music. Of course I feel that way.
