Editor's Note, May 15th (and May 17th): We don't normally add, but since so many non-comics blogs are linking directly to this post I'm making an exception. This post only collects links to posts between May 10th and May 12th. There are links to further discussion of this statue here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. There's well over 200 posts in all, and its blending with other issues. I've also been collecting more links on this statue for tonight's posts. Those of you linking your own reactions in the comments will find your opinions linked in a future post.

For those of you unfamiliar with When Fangirls Attack, here is our mission statement and linking policy. Please note that dissenting opinions, more thoughtful discussion and analysis tends to come after the initial outrage has had some time to settle, so the later posts tend to be where you'd find that. -- Ragnell
