It certainly is in Postmodernism and/or Cultural Studies courses of all
stripes in modern academia. It's all text, yes?

Exactly, Paul. It's one thing to get grief and be put down for wanting to respect the characters from people who aren't fans of superheroes, but it's completely another to be mocked by fellow "fans". That, more than anything else, bugs the shit out of me. You think they'd know better, at least have a better understanding, but more often than not they're more abusive to fellow fans than someone on the outside looking in. I simply do not get that.

That is what bugs me when comic fans refer to other fans, who they deem the 'ugly fan' as fanboys. Ridiculous.

As if Shawn/Sean wasn't tricky enough, there's a baseball player for the Angels named Chone Figgins. And that's "Chone" pronounced "Shawn".

How about Siobhan, pronounced Shih-vaun?
Or Seona, pronounce Shaw-na?
Of course, these, like Sean, are not English names.

"Spy-Doorman" would make a great webcomic. (or web comic ... or web-
comic?)

Hmm, now I've got Ennio Morricone's 'Sean Sean' theme for James
Coburn's character in Duck, You Sucker! or A Fistful of Dynamite perseverating in my head!

It's only spelled "Luxury yacht." It's pronounced "Throat-wobbler mangrove."

I'm not a mod, but I think this may be against the Board's Rules.
Not as serious an offense, or as disrespectful, as leaving the hyphen out of Spider-Man's name, but still...
Anyways, peace man. Have a beer. Always helps me unwind.

You're not the only one. I also thought Seamus was "Seemus." It just occurred to me to wonder, though, why Seamus isn't pronounced "Shawmus."
