Today's OneWord: Panel

The panel consisted of three women and three men. Two of the men were gay, the other man was African-American, two of the women were Asian, and one of the women was trans. They discussed everything from comic books to film adaptations to the future of science fiction. And somehow, that rubbed the good ol' bigots the wrong way. It didn't matter that these queer and diverse artists were revolutionizing the culture of nerdery as we knew it: No, as long as they didn't fit the mold, they were traitors to the grossly narrow scope that was considered, "the mainstream."
