A good friend of Therefore I Geek published an interesting article about how he finds a type of companionship among celebrities with whom he shares various passions. You can find the full blog post on Steve’s own page.

Let me be very honest and clear here, I have never met either of the two gentlemen. I have never seen in person, spoken on the phone, or engaged on social media with either of them.

alex_dewitt

In which, Andrew, Tracy, and Dude reveal that they can actually have an intelligent conversation about a controversial topic, specifically about comic writer Gail Simone’s 1999 musings on why female characters in comics seem to end up violently damaged in order to further the story or provide motivation for their male counterparts.  Our heroes break the topic down and look at Gail’s initial conversation starter, and then move into the argument that has been created by various feminists based on that topic.  Dude vows to spend the rest of his life–or at least the next few weeks–breaking down the lists of characters who have died in comics to uncover the statistics that may prove or disprove the idea.
