Fun Home criticisms

Now that we're starting to get to the end of Fun Home, I thought we might want to consider what other people have said about the book. So here are some criticisms that have been leveled at Fun Home. Do you agree with them? Whether yes or no, what evidence can you offer to support your opinion?

• The literary references in Fun Home are distracting and add nothing to the narrative. In fact, they only seem to be there as a way to make the "comic book" seem more respectable.
• In Fun Home, Alison Bechdel confirms negative homosexual stereotypes. For instance, the story portrays the stereotype that all gay men are interested in young boys. It also implies the old idea that lesbianism and feminism are one and the same.
• The pictures don't do much in Fun Home. There is really no reason for it to be a graphic novel. It would have worked just as well as a text-only autobiography.

Keep in mind that these are not necessarily my criticisms of the book. There just the most common ones I've run across while reading about the book.
