Anyone see this around the web. Apparently Gail Simone's twitter account was flooded with tea trolls.

Why Gail Simone's? She doesn't write for Marvel, does she?

That said, if the movement could control some of their racist messaging, maybe they wouldn't get pulled into stories featuring white supremacists splinter groups.

Apparently she came to the defense of Ed Brubaker and this set off some kind of troll war.

I posted off and on about this over at CBR, in a similar thread. Bottom line is that these people come off looking bad because they are bad lol. They are theocratic nut jobs that deserve to be made fun of.

I just wonder if it was an intentional slip up or not intentional. I mean making 616 Captain America controversial helps sales by curious spectators. But then there is the artistic level and then the corporate level. Who knows who is pulling the strings!

I say it was completly intentional. The clean-up afterwards was for show. Marvel probably saw some free publicity and took advantage.
