And Devin Grayson's quote of extreme creepiness for the day: MSL:Male rape is a topic rarely touched on in comics. Why is it suited to bring it into Nightwing?
DEVIN GRAYSON:For the record, I’ve never used the word “rape,” I just said it was nonconsensual (I know, aren’t writers frustrating? *smiles*)
Imagine a male writer saying the exact same words about a female character he'd written, and tell me, with a straight fucking face, that both male AND female fans wouldn't be ready to string him up by his fucking balls, AND RIGHTLY FUCKING SO.
