"I get the word from good DC Comics sources that DC Entertainment editorial has been very strongly urged to start upping the numbers of female and non-white writers and artists on their books. And for white, male freelancers to be nudged down the submission pool."

Basically SJWs have infected the comic book industry, as there have been an ever increasing number of minority/LGBT characters in comics lately, and now they need to get rid of more white creators in favor of hiring minority creators to meet their diversity quotas. They have already replaced many white male characters with minorities such as Captain America, Thor, Wolverine, etc being replaced with women. But apparently meritocracy and creativeness don't matter if you're white, and not even fantasy worlds are safe from cultural marxism as it seems another past time I enjoyed in my youth is being destroyed to feed to the beast of equality.

[TheWastelander]

At this point I honestly hope the comic book industry crashes and burns. Most of the writers have been a bunch of smug lefty white guys contemptuous of normality for years. I hope the SJWs purge them from their jobs and replace them with tranny weirdos that bring the whole rotten thing down.

[NilNisiOptimum]

Are they not aware of the overlap in video game and comic book fans? Odds are this becomes #gamergate year 2

[scrambled]

Never any good news in this section, is there?

[Captainstabbin]

Aren't a lot of comic writers heavily influenced by that Satanist (or magician or wiccan or whatever he calls himself) Alan Moore? And, when Frank Miller criticized the Occupy movement as a bunch of narcissists, Alan was quick with the "misogyny!" and "homophobia!" labels. You can see the standard SJ tactic.

Most mainstream comics suck so much dick that they have to be rebooted every few years or even have the entire universe rebooted. That's why the stories being made into movies come from the older comics. It started going downhill after Shooter was fired in 87. By the mid-90s, "mutant" just meant "gay" and openly gay characters were the norm. Those books, like Northstar, tanked but the agenda was in full swing. It kept building steam until even Captain America (not Steve) was trying to take down a thinly veiled Tea Party group who promoted un-American radical hate speech like "lower taxes" and "stop socialism".

It's sad, my former comic nerd friends are fully SJW now. I can't even be around them without being accused of bullying.

[Avon Barksdale]

Well I mainly stick to manga anyway.

SJW's will never infect the manga industry

Wasn't a crisis of garbage stories what allowed Image and Dark Horse comics to arise in the early 90s?

Maybe it will open the door for a new wave of Garth Ennis's

[Eskhander]

The comics industry is mostly white men, so they're either drawing from a small minority of minorities or getting people who don't read comics.

Like having Ta-Nehsi Coates write for Black Panther...

I think comics fans are a lot less aggressive than gamers.

Geek fandoms whether it be comic books, anime, video games or whatever else have always been heavily infested with SJW types. I wrote a post a few days back about why I believe this is so.

"It's slave morality in action. Lots of nerds and geeks view themselves as perpetual underdogs with their identities being heavily invested in being in opposition to the people who are at the top of the social totem pole. In high school it's all about hating on the jocks and popular kids and even long after these geeks graduate high school they still hang on to the same mindset so once they become adults all the hatred ends up being re-directed towards CEOs, "dudebros", straight white males, and basically anything that is seen as conventionally attractive and successful.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the mainstreaming of geek culture has coincided with the popularizing of SJW causes. Also take a look a Tumblr where the worst of SJWisms fester; I also don't think it's a coincidence that in addition to all the SJW nonsense Tumblr is also a big gathering place for a lot of people involved in various geek fandoms such as Dr. Who, anime, cosplay, Kpop/jpop and such. There's a huge crossover between the two crowds."

I recently had some time to listen to this interesting podcast by the guys from Radix Journal discussing "Watchmen", where amongst other great topics they also convincingly argued that the whole concept of superheroes is actually deeply anti-liberal. So the joke´s on the SJWs.
Might be interesting to the readers of this thread:

Some of the biggest artists and writers are Asian American, like Jim Lee. Do I give a shit? No. What matters to me is that the stories are good.

I'm gonna refer to Marvel since they went full retard a while ago...

I stopped reading comics a long time ago, and they’re scraping the bottom of the barrel by giving superpowers to the human girlfriends of the superhero

• Betty Ross, wife of Bruce Banner (The Hulk) is now the Red She Hulk
  
  
• Jane Foster, Thor’s girlfriend is the female Thor
  
  
• Gwen Stacy, Spiderman’s girlfriend is Spider Gwen
  
  
  
  

These women were created as the damsel in distress that the superhero saves, they’re not supposed to be fucking superheroes.

The latest news is that the original Hulk is no longer Bruce Banner, it’s a Korean guy – Amadeus Cho!



Spider Man is now Mile Morales, who is half black and half Hispanic



Ms Marvel, who has been white and black in the past, now a Kamala Khan, a Pakistani Muslim with the comic written by a white convert to Islam



Captain America is now black



I think the only way white males will be included in the future is if they're gay...

^^^^^
Whats wrong with The Falcon taking the reigns as Cap, since they fought side by side?

[Dr. Howard]

I'm waiting for a total Game Over, when they make the punisher black and have him go after corrupt cops in some sort of 'black lives matter' statement.

Actually nothing wrong with that one. Falcon and Cap go back a long way. I stand corrected.

[Hades]

Man, those superheroes must be some badass motherfuckers that even they can transfer powers (to their girlfriends, for instance) with no harm to themselves, presumably from rawdogging.

[cascadecombo]

That is one of the more enjoyable means of sharing their DNA after all.

They said what they really wanted but, after early reports weren't well-received, they just made Miles halfrican.

Quote:

‘Maybe sooner or later a black or gay – or both – hero will be considered something absolutely normal.’

[eljeffster]

Of course they can't come up with their own superheros.

A good example would be an Indian dude loosely based on Herman Hesse's Siddhartha (I know a German guy writing about an Indian guy). If you have read the book you know he would have a rich backstory.

[Eskhander]

Isn't Miles is also gay?

Right.

This is the argument I've been making forever. However...

"Let's Not Stop at Ghostbusters—We Should Remake ALL MOVIES with All-Female Casts" - Morbidly obese feminist Lindy West

At first it's hard to understand why they'd just want to redo what men have already done.

But I forgot, they're lazy. Taking a break from blaming all of their problems on men and typing about it is much easier than creating an original idea and building a world around it.

[etwsake]

I suppose I'd be upset if I hadn't stopped reading all mainstream comics years ago.

There's still some interesting stuff out there, and we'll always have all the groundbreaking stuff from the 80s to go back and re-read.

Man, unreal. A Pakistani muslim woman superhero? Where's her burkha?

I think I've had enough thanks. Have not been reading the comics much but no more Marvel entertainment movies for this guy...they were kind of starting to suck anyway.

"Superheroes are, in essence, a conservative idea. The concept of embodying personal, individual responsibility, rather than relying on the state, whilst also retaining your privacy. Standing up, doing the right thing, rather than relying on some kind of collective decision making. Bearing arms – even if they are your fists. Mixed in with a smattering of might makes right, hitting first, a little more action, a little less wishy washy empathy and understanding.

However the people writing the comics have, over the years, been far more likely to be liberal-minded. Which can lead to a strangely compelling disconnect regarding how the two worlds connect. The books remain conservative in nature but in individual execution can be very liberal in message.

I understand that at a recent mini-summit for DC Comics writers at the Burbank offices, politics came up. There was a recognition that DC’s audience had expanded with newer, more progressive titles, such as Batgirl, Prez and Gotham Academy.

But there was also the worry that the core classic DC Comics audience was feeling abandoned in the face of this promotion. And that DC Comics should try to retain a more conservative voice amongst a number of its central titles.

So. The current thinking is to revive some of DC’s classic but now unpublished titles, as a place where more conservative ideas could flourish, especially in regard to the rest of the world, throwing a different light on superheroics, and raising the question of whether heroes do too much or too little?

So this may be DC’s mission for 2016. Continue the expansion of more progressive titles, after all this may be well be where their future audience are – but also continuing to develop and maintain their more conservative base.

Either that or have a superhero team based on the current Republican Presidential nominees…. anyone fancy sketching some designs?"

Sounds like some of the execs are re-thinking their affirmative action plans and trying to take a more something for everybody route, as they are surely losing money from their staunch long time customers (the fat guys in their mom's basement contingent) in favor of a quick sales bump from millenial SJWs that quickly fades out. Take it with a grain of salt though, Rich Johnston from Bleeding Cool is a notorious shitlib who never hesitates to throw his liberal bias into his articles, but he does seem to have legit connections and always has insider scoops.

Marvel can't put too much SJW shit in their movies, that shit won't sell abroad. Also it will fuck up their merchandising if they keep on changing the race of the character.

If Marvel tried to make a superhero movie about a disabled mixed race obese gay Marxist Muslim trans dwarf, it might break Swedish box office records, but it couldn't be shown in China. China has a bigger box office, and at the end of the day money talks.
