Isn't this very comment an attempt at an "intellectual high ground?" Is not your incredulity when asking what Gina did to offend masses a direct example of the very "tribalism" you seek to decry? Where is the empathy for people who've grown well tired of insensitive remarks/perceptions such as the ones Gina authored and visited upon the world unsolicited?

I think it interesting that you have often chided me on the Marvel thread for offering discussion of matters such as these, then, when I answer you sincerely in what appears to be a 'proper venue', you seemingly sidestep dialogue all while lamenting some absence of civil discussion.

Have I said something to offend you that makes you want to speak only in an indirect fashion? Do you have an opinion about my answer to the question you posed?

I wasn't attacking you...I was answering you.



I totally agree and was mostly being an ass, dude, you know how I can be when playing around.

I was joking mostly to diffuse some tension...

Missed your post while typing, amongst other things. Wasn’t ignoring your post. I welcome any debate in the proper venue and am glad this was kept out the 6” thread, lol.
