Postcards from Space: Why Black March Is a Really Fucking Bad Idea →

krisstraub:

This is stupid as hell for all the reasons postcardsfromspace lays out. 10,000 boycotting people will not hurt DC Comics. But 10,000 boycotting people can destroy independent artists.

I know people are mad and want to take instant action, but use your brain for chrissakes

postcardsfromspace:

To the people proposing this:

You dumb bastards. You know who this’ll hurt? Not big media. Not on any significant scale.

No, the people this will really fuck over are the EXACT same people SOPA and PIPA would fuck: Creative professionals; small publishers; independent businesses.

If you…

HEY GUYS, LETS MAKE APRIL THE BIGGEST CONSUMER SPENDING MONTH EVER

How about go see a local production instead of the movies or buying DVDs, going to see a local band instead of buying/downloading CDs and music, just fucking get off your ass and support artists surrounding you instead of the ones on the other side of the country/world earning millions with all their fat-cat producer/CEO mates
