The Ultimate Hate-Read Bracket. This bracket includes our legendary piece from Krista Burton, What Lies Beneath (Her Fingernails), which makes me think I don’t understand the definition of a hate-read, bc shouldn’t it make you hate the person writing it? WHO COULD HATE KRISTA BURTON. This piece is Queer Culture. This piece is going in the Lesbian Herstory Archives OK. Whew anyway the rest of these are fucking terrible.
WAIT. Daisy, creator of this bracket, has responded:

Sad to see Meltdown Comics close. I only went there once last year, but left with two issues of LumberJanes. They even have a bookcase dedicated to LGBTQ comics.
So you weren’t joking about needing breaks. I’ve read two articles (about bi kids and Pulse / Noor Salman) and I’m undone.
I had finally gotten to only 4 tabs open on my phone, and then this happened!! Thank you, really good list!
I love that Daisy responded to your concern! So sweet!
