I really don't get tumblr sometimes

seriousficJames Gunn: I don't like the way a lot of fanboys objectify women. I'm going to write a satire of 'hottest women in comics' lists, with lots of ridiculous things like talking about Storm giving people enemas so people will see how silly the entire concept is!
Tumblr: OMG BAD SATIRE! I'M GOING TO SIGN A PETITION TO MAKE YOU LOSE YOUR JOB SO YOU CAN'T FEED YOUR FAMILY, THAT'LL TEACH YOU TO SUPPORT US!
Psy: I don't like the way the American military acts. I'm going to rap about how we should kill Americans, with lyrics literally saying I hope they die slowly and painfully.
Tumblr: ...HE DIDN'T SAY "YANKEES," HE SAID "BITCHES," THAT'S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!
That doesn't even sound like a real opinion, it sounds like one of those weird quirks a sitcom character has for an episode so the writers can make jokes about it. "Chandler, what do you mean you make your lobster do a little dance before you eat it? Joey, what do you mean you think James Gunn is the Antichrist but Psy isn't South Korea's answer to Ted Nugent?"
And the thing that gets me is, the stuff that Psy is rapping about is an incident where some US soldiers got into an accident and two Korean girls were killed--okay--and another time when Iraqi insurgents killed a Korean missionary because South Korea was sending troops to Iraq. Which he blamed on America. So, basically, we're Spider-Man in all this and he's a poorly-written version of J. Jonah Jameson.
