I'm not sure in what ways you're more progressive or 'leading edge' than me, but if it makes you happy to think so, go on with your bad self. I'll happily concede fashion, though. I dress like a trucker. A comfortable trucker who saves money by buying department store.
So far as media goes, I guess you can call me out on wrestling and Troma, but I've never pretended that those things have any redeeming value. That's a big part of why I love them. PR is odd one to point out though, given that you yourself watch a number of childrens' shows.

1. How am I not more progressive than you? 2. Trucker or basement dwelling neckbeard, tomayto tomahto. 3. PR is odd for you to point out, since I'm not chastising you on its demographic, rather, its quality.

... What exactly does progressive MEAN to you, Dok?
Also, why do you never get it when we champion terrible things because they're terrible? Crombie, for instance. Sometimes, things can be so bad that they're entertaining.

1. And why do you think you fit those criteria? That's not intended to be insulting, by the way. Just asking for clarification.
2. You're wrong, Power Rangers is fooookiiin' hilarious.
P.S. Since when did you not like wrestling? Aren't you named after a wrestler?

1. This doesn't need clarification. 2. If you say so, to me, it's cheesy unenjoyable garbage. Then again, maybe I'll try watching it high and see if that changes. 3. No I'm not named after a wrestler in any capacity. This current name - "Nikki Strychnine" - is a working drag name I've chosen for myself. So far I've not grown tired of it, so it's doing well.

also BAtmaN is gay It's been said that "Gayness is built into Batman. I’m not using gay in the pejorative sense, but Batman is very, very gay. There’s just no denying it. Obviously as a fictional character he’s intended to be heterosexual, but the basis of the whole concept is utterly gay. I think that’s why people like it. All these women fancy him and they all wear fetish clothes and jump around rooftops to get to him. He doesn’t care—he’s more interested in hanging out with the old guy and the kid.” Building on this, a Comics Alliance opinion piece titled The Gayness of Batman discussed the question of homosexual readings of the character, citing his relationship with the flamboyant Joker as "a monstrous distortion of the conflict between the closet and the scene."

Portishead is good.
Also, yes, Batman is gay.
There is a Batman/Superman crossover comic where they watch some aliens come to Earth and die purely so they can experience love. The two protagonists are so moved by this that they hold each other and cry gently while talking about their feelings.
Cracked.com taught me that.
In summary, comic books are gay.

1. How am I not more progressive than you? 2. Trucker or basement dwelling neckbeard, tomayto tomahto. 3. PR is odd for you to point out, since I'm not chastising you on its demographic, rather, its quality. 1. It's pretty simple. Look at the issues we've disagreed on. I can agree to differ, and don't need bludgeon others with my views. And when people don't agree with me? I don't send them longwinded, profanity-laden crybaby rants. My live and let live policy is a hell of a lot more progressive than insisting that others agree with my views or they're the enemy or something. When you think about the number of conflicts that could have been avoided if more people took my laid-back approach, one could make the argument that I'm history's greatest hero. 2. Either way, I'm happy. Comfortable and affordable will always trump fashionable in my book. And really, neither of us is in a position to call someone else a basement dweller. 3. I'm not sure what you mean by PR's quality. You mean how hilarious and awesome it is? Or how well it's made given all the constraints it's produced under? Or the fact that it once showcased a man surfing on a sword?

... Sorry, Dok. Gotta side with newbie on this one. On basically all of the above points.
P.S. For the record, I don't really believe one can be progressive with fashion. It's a permanently-changing entity that tends to go in mostly random directions.
And isn't it more progressive to not give a fuck what you look like?
