Anonymous asked: You think that what you did in Original Sin eased the tension of Fury fans? Wrong! We're more pissed than ever that our favorite character has not only been replaced, but now turned into a senior citizen!

You’ll find that I’m not losing any sleep over it.

I haven’t read this story, but I’m guessing from context that the anonymous reader is unhappy that a guy who was an adult in World War II is now really old.

Which is understandable, but at the same time: Hey, people who want Spider-Man and other characters to age in real time. This is the other side of the coin.

Is anybody really concerned about ‘easing the tension of Fury fans’?  Look, bottom line: if you’re pissed off about Nick Fury being black now, it’s because you’re a racist.  And while the internet has made it sadly obvious that your racist asses are a pretty big (or at least very vocal) chunk of comics fandom, nobody gives a shit about placating your racist ass.  FUCK YOU.  I hope whatever you’re pissed off about makes you so upset that you die from it.
