Fanboy Rampage: The Beat Vs Comic Book Men

cbm

The Beat ran an article about sexism in comic stores entitled, "Breaking: A comic shop in this day and age is staffed by customer-repelling losers" that included the following excerpted review of Jay And Bob's Silent Stash as seen in AMC's Comic Book Men, ironically from Hater Free Wednesdays.

NOT friendly to women. The guys behind the counter openly ogle and discuss female customers, often loudly enough to be overheard. What may make good TV makes for really shitty service.

Rude about small purchases, always trying to sell "just one more thing." Will ignore small purchase customers over those making a larger purchase.

Openly mocked an out Lesbian and Gay man while I was in store. Then they started to mock my weight and hair. Until they realized I could hear them. No apology (or Chase) was made.

Not handicapped friendly. Not friendly to anyone except "dudebros" or people they know.

No attempt seems to have been made to contact the store for comment before running it in the article. But that, it seems, is what Twitter is for as Mike Zapcic and Ming Chen from the store, and the show, fought back, before we got the full Steve Niles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think we'll be looking forward to tomorrow…

Fanboy Rampage was a blog by Graeme McMillan dedicated to the funniest, most ludicrous and most inappropriate comic book back-and-forths online. McMillan has moved on now, becoming a proper journalist for the likes of Newsarama and Spinoff but he gave permission to Bleeding Cool to revive his great creation. Feel free to contribute your own spots of online excess.
