Oh nice. I'll have to give it a read then.

I think the Crossed comics are mostly obnoxious torture porn but I found the premise in of itself excellent. That particular take on "murderous plague of maniacs" is legitimately fucking terrifying and the thought of it kept me up at night when I first discovered the series as a teenager. Add...

Right. An entire cultural group that act like a perverse fusion of Orcs, Reavers, and Crossed, only those at least are simply murderous plague infectees/demon analogues. The fact that the author tries to pass it off as "cultural differences" and "beneath the veneer they're just like us" is what...

Oh boy another badass Confederacy Fanfic, I hope the pairing is CSA/France!

Every time I think I'm getting old I think back to soc.history.what.if and remember that some of you bastards are so old you had kids that fought at Verdun

That's fair and I think we all know that it's silly to bring up arguments like mine if you're in a historical debate or publishing an article to be judged by peers, but I was coming at it from more of a philisophical standpoint since Walter Bagehot was arguing in a similar fashion. For what...
