The Boys Volume 9: The Big Ride by Garth Ennis

2.0

Negative here for Butcher's ceaseless and pointless constant purposeful misgendering of trans characters. How does it serve him, other than being a total wanker to everyone, all the time, at all costs? He's so good at doing that effectively, doing in this instance just makes him seem more petty and less calculating than he actually is. The LGBTQ NPCs in this story are just that - they've done nothing to him, they don't deserve or invoke his very specific flavor of ire. Yet they get it, and they tend to get it worse, than the people Butcher has actual issues with.

I can't decide if it feels lazy or cheap, but either way, it's gotten beyond old. (And in 2011, there was really no reason for it.)
