While I agree about the mouthpieceness of the scene, I think the part about piercing is the author being self-consciously sarcastic at himself, pushing his own rant towards the absurd (so as to set up the "I need to get laid' punchline – a joke he's made before about the angry PC liberals themselves; in caring so much about something inconsequential, Jesse is doing exactly what he's complaining about).
Maybe I'm just trying too hard to be generous; I used to think Frank Miller was self-parody, too.
This is Ennis were talking about, the guy, or atleast his writing, can be worryingly prone to double think at times. See, like, basically all of The Boys.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
