who was in the wrong here?
>Marvel Studios upcoming Disney Plus She-Hulk TV series writer Dana Schwartz recently declared that “fan gatekeeping is a profoundly toxic subculture.”
>These comments come after Schwartz railed on South Park back in February saying, “It seems impossible to overstate the cultural damage done by South Park.”
>In response to the ensuing criticism and outright mockery of her statements regarding South Park, Schwartz would play the victim and ask, “Is there something that women are ALLOWED to have an opinion on?”
>Schwartz’s decided to publicly shame one of her critics as well as the entire male gender. She stated, “Men really need to take a deep breath.”
>Juicyrevival asked, “So where on your Instagram is there a mention that you’re passionate about comics? In a medium where frauds are spotted like criminals casing a banks- how do you truly believe you’ll write something interesting?”
>Juicyrevivial added, “It’s a connected medium with a character driven by its original source material. My question is this, why are you interested beyond the money? What makes you want to write about She-Hulk when you clearly are not interested in that genre?
>Schwartz asked, “Earnest question: do male writers deal with this? (Also imagine seriously believing anyone got into comics for the money lol)
>Schwartz then wrote on Twitter, “The idea that I need to somehow prove my “worthiness” in order to work in a certain genre is incredibly toxic (and also v v sexist).”
>Schwartz then claims, “Fan gatekeeping is a profoundly toxic subculture, the people who think enjoying a thing gives them ownership over it.”
