OSC only liked Christian immigrants. He called anti-Hispanic racism the fatal Republican flaw & Democrats traitors for their unwillingness to declare war on Islam, as the only way to prevent a new Holocaust was to nuke the Middle East.

Pre-MAGA, SF’s fascist assholes were at least idiosyncratic.

This never endeared Reagan to Orson Scott Card, who in his column for a local racist tabloid, called for open borders.

But OSC hated Reagan almost as much as Clinton & Obama, yet called Nixon the best president in his lifetime, as he did when SF zines were still printing his asinine opinions.

Amanda Love, according to a source, when #DCcomics revived #BlackCanary, Murphy wanted to make her black, but was told Southern newsstands would not stock it.

I’m surprised the Whale got away with it. Perhaps the Hayes Office did not understand what seed meant in this context.

This is partially from Boris now being rich & well fed. He was smart about contract negotiating (he helped Lugosi get several raises). In 1931, he was a literally starving actor, and took out a dental plate to make his cheeks look more hollow.
