Just that the response was completely out of proportion, in a "kill the messenger" kind of way. I don't think he's misogynist, just that he's using Jenna as some kind of e-punching bag for some reason. Oh, no, I didn’t mean to give the impression that it was misogyny.

I disagree with you (if I'm reading correctly) that "criticizing a porn star named comic that looks like everything else out there" = "misogyny", though.

I still can't tell if my issue is more with the tone/point of that post than the trend, though, to be honest. I kind of rambled a bit and got deeper into the subject here on my blog.

Remember Tekno's Neil Gaiman's whatever and how he had nothing to do with it besides the original concept? If someone licenses a name just to get PR value off of it, then I think readers are justifiably skeptical about that. I don’t think it’s her so much as cynicism towards famous names on comics.

"Supposedly" created and other terms used to dismiss her part in the creation of the comics just rubs me the wrong way for some reason. I was skeptical of the panel line-up like pretty much everyone ever, but there seems to be a lot of pent-up resentment (though that may not be the exact word I want... cynicism?) toward her without much proof. I kind of wish that I had been there to see the panel, because I feel like the writer at The Beat came into it kind of unfairly biased. The text is almost there <i>just</i> to diss Jenna Jameson.
