I am not hating on Dawson here, just those who happen to think it’s somehow a big deal that an attractive woman could possibly like something like Johnny the Homicidal Maniac.
Unlike Kevin Smith, I do not find it shocking that a woman would have read and enjoyed something by Jhonen Vasquez. Maybe it says more about the women I tend to know than women in general, but I know more female Vasquez fans than I do male Vasquez fans (when that silly list of “comics for your girlfriend” was floating around, I actually thought Johnny would’ve been an excellent one to include).
Dawson does seem to honestly be a comic book fan (although from her choices, possibly one that shops at Hot Topic) but I’m not really surprised by them.
