Reply #351: You seem to forget...

... many of us were not admitted to the country clubs you seem to haunt. Some of us couldn't afford them, some weren't white enough, or male enough... and some of us just plain didn't like the people that haunted those country clubs.

Ironically, you seem to be describing the 40s... and meanwhile the 30s and 40s were the times when those comic books you so detest were first developing. And, near as I can tell, they were developing as a reaction against the Bing Crosby set... So no wonder you "don't get it"... these things were specifically designed to not be gotten by the likes of you and your little country club fantasy adherents.

As for the "sign of socially maladjusted crypto-furryism at best"... well, it was the so-called 'adults' that you describe that are, at root, responsible for the 'social mal-adjustment' of their children... So it's really all their fault, for having failed as adults...
Ohh yeah, and "crypto-furryism"?... Are you really calling us all hairy gay men?... you get a lot of furryism between the golf course and the martini lounge, maybe with some Bing Crosby crooning in the background?... Where does that even come from?...

(Ohh yeah, and what were these hipsters that you so detest drinking in that bar where you were slurping your pint?... or bottle of Bud... or whatever? ... Were they, perchance, sipping martinis while discussing an art form that they've embraced after having rejected the Puccini that you would foist upon them?)
