I thought it was in Moore's contract that there must be sexual violence against wimmin or he takes his ball home.

Can't help but hear 'Putting on the Ritz' as I look at that... the Dr Frunkenstien version

Well, yes.  Grant has never ever depicted anyone being raped.  Except for Dan fucking Dare and Britney fucking Spears.

At this point let's try to remember that Alan Moore and Grant Morrison are both excellent comic writers and it's a pretty extreme stretch to assume that either of them condone sexual violence in any way.

Ofc,nobody assumed THAT.Its just that they use it as a narative device somewhat often.

Well, yes, of course; Morrison is one of the finest writers in comics today, while Moore is the best who ever lived.  I don't really have a moral problem with the fictional depiction of rape, uncomfortable as it is to look at.  But I do find it a tad daft that Morrison has used it as a jab at Moore, claiming that he himself has never used it in his scripts when he very clearly has.

I'm kinda repulsed at the utilisation of rape as a plot device, it smacks of cheap shocks and easy writing. If rape IS to be used in anyway, i'd rather the author took the Fury Road approach. Implication over gratuity.

I think it would be an issue if all they wrote about was rape but they don't so it isn't.

[TordelBack]

I'm just waiting until someone in the anti-Moore brigade learns to read books without pictures and manages to parse the several rape/incest chapters in Jerusalem.  The internet will break asunder beneath the weight of their click-bait hypocrisy.

[Smith]

Well,we are a visual culture.Who reads books anymore?

[The Legendary Shark]

Just us dinosaurs.
