Top result from searching for "Patreon hacking scam" in Google says you're fine. If any hacker legitimately had that kind of info on you, they'd show it in the email as proof anyway.

BUT, if you for one second think that someone could hack Patreon or any individual website and get that kind of info on you (particularly your SSN and Tax ID forms), you need to fix that with the quickness (ex: new/unique passwords for every site you use, two step/etc... on every site that will allow it, etc...)

I just checked Patreon's Twitter, according to them it's a baseless scam. You good fam. I don't know a thing about cyber security but it seems far fetched to grab someone's SSN from a crowdfunding site.

I'm playing Fallout 4 and while poking around in a diner I got a message prompt from Shy (group messages). Just when I looked over I stepped on a landmine and blew my legs off.

Driving around I stopped at a light and saw a basketball game being played next to a mosque. It was 3 dudes in ball gear playing against 3 Muslim guys wearing their traditional gear.

I was thinking "damn that's a beautiful sight". Then a Muslim guy got hella dunked on....

I'm going try and keep it breif because I could go on and on about frank, and it would just spew into other comic characters.

Frank's interesting because it isn't about frank, it about how people react to frank.

Yes, frank is a tragic figure, but isn't spiderman? The hulk? Wolverine? Numerous amounts of marvel heroes and villians, being tragic is sorta of their whole stick.But there are some things that make frank stick out , for one thing franks just a dude. You see when you have billions or possibly trillions of old gotham money and your family dies, you become the batman with the best costume. Or bruce with a not as cool costume. But when you are just a dude, and you are angry... you become frank. You see frank's interesting because he forces people in comic and in reality to see how lucky they are. You see if your parents die, or your family what have you we wont become batman, odds are will probably be frank. And that's scary, because frank is a crazy person. This amplified times a billion because he lives in a world where folks have super powers, and he's just a dude.

In universe the idea of becoming a frank , scares the hell out of some people. Peter Parker and Matt Murdock specifically, I think its why they humor him or try to steer him away from murdering folks when they come around sometimes. Because they see themselves, him being around forces folks to look at the literal darkest time line. A man with literally nothing to loose, living by an idea. Dealing in absolutes, because life delt him that hand. Whats worse is... he's not a bad guy. Ok frank does bad things, but he's not a " bad guy " at least to himself because well, he's doing it for good. And in all honestly a chunk of the time it is. Not condoning murder, by the way.

And that brings me to the other part, he's never THE " bad guy " , he just gets to... continue actually. And even more, folks understand him... in universe. Wolverine goes and warns frank, because wolverine, hell a shit ton of the x men could probably get frank. The shit that the illuminati has done makes frank's shit look like penuts, even tchalla. They can't actually get too mad at frank, because... they in one way or another have been frank or sometimes even worse. Tony stark and Reed Richards are horrible human beings.

Some characters can' get mad at frank, some characters get mad at frank because they understand him all too well. Frank makes people think, frank makes people have internal discussions. And that's why frank's interesting, frank makes everyone else interesting. Yeah he's a cool guy with guns and a leather jacket who don't take no guff from no body. But if frank was just... that and didn't have the cheesy noir-ness of max payne 1 and 2, or modern GTA breaking badness of Max payne 3. To me at least he would be nothing.

They never give you the satisfaction of frank being " bad " you see frank is content for the most part in what he's doing. He's upset at how he got here, but what he does he just does what he does. Meanwhile a street over Spiderman and Daredevel are having internal crisis's on whether to let a guy die, and the that guy gets out of wherever and ruins more peoples lives. They never allow him to be just " bad" because if he was just that, the internal crisises wouldn't occur.

You aren't suppoused to look up to frank, whether frank is good or bad or in between is up to you , he's just supposed to make you think.

Also his outfit is the most cartoon-ish anti hero shit ever and its hilarious.

Garth Ennis run on The Punisher is definitive.
I read that run and decided that unless that version was brought to life, I wouldn't be watching.

Edit: Finished the rest of the posts, and yea, I recommend reading the arcs. The first issue basically causes the rest of the run, but it touches on basically everything folks are saying about power vacuums and morality, etc. Frank gets a lot of love, character wise. He was the Punisher all along, he simply has nothing to lose now.
