Remember that Ultimate X-Men comic where a kid killed a whole town by accident (just awoken his powers) and Wolverine needed to kill him so people didn’t be more afraid of mutants that already are?
Guys, do you understand why X-men anti discrimination premise is inherently flawed? 3 users liked this post: HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth, Gamegirl Nostalgia, Taco Bell Tower

WWE stays winning after that pivot on the Thursday press conference. No amount of tut tut'ing and containment from admin can stop wrassling nerds. They're even more psychotic and unhinged than Trans era.

Looks like a decent project even if the quality varies wildly given rotational teams. Oh, yeah. I forgot that Marvel made Ice Man gay and he was outed in the most shit way possible (“YOU GAY BOBBY”). Was a pretty cynical move by a comic company that somehow got praise even if it was done horribly. I’m of two minds when stuff like this happens, a good writer can make it work and make a point, while shit writing can make it offensive for fans and the demographic they try to pander. People always mention that this kind of stuff (retconning the sexuality of comic characters) but people forget that it was done better in many cases and with less of the corporate cynicism (even if still was there in many cases). 3 users liked this post: HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth, Gamegirl Nostalgia, Taco Bell Tower

No, because most of us recognise that comics are generally more ridiculous than video games. Put down the comics and take up hard drugs or something. They're much more healthy for you. 2 users liked this post: Gamegirl Nostalgia, Taco Bell Tower

I mean, is fair, everyone starts somewhere, but this shit is the stuff you saw posted in a random tumblr back in the day. Even if is an anthology series just to incite people to sub to Marvel Unlimited… dude, some standards pls. Comicsgate is awful, but they are not wrong that comics are in a nosedive in question of writing (they just attack stuff from veterans and decent writers, and miss the actual shit stuff )

They don't know what fascism was or is so they don't know they constantly endorse it, they think fascism is "bad stuff I don't like" or "right-wingers defined in any way" so they're free to pretend they aren't fascists and don't use all the same logic and premises as fascists. The original fascists believed that any action was justified against the "failed state" of a non-fascist society because of the utopia that would follow. There was no moral requirement for fascists to follow the rules or laws of such a corrupt society, especially when they offered such a superior moral code. (They took this from Lenin btw.)

Thankfully, they rarely get anywhere because they're terrible writers in general and nobody gives a shit about their "inclusive" crap. Not that regular writers don't have stupid political opinions, I just read a stupid Black Label book from Tom Taylor where he has Constantine expound at length how billionaires are scum who only harm everyone and he helps put a bunch of money stolen from the billionaires into everyone's bank accounts instead. We've seen this kind of garbage in comics forever. But Taylor, unlike most of these crap writers and like past decent writers, is at least self-aware enough to have Lucifer point out that a bunch of people getting a sudden injection of "free" cash is good for his business. (Which indicates to me that it's possible to explain to Taylor why such acts are bad for everyone since he seems to grasp part of the logic.) Ham-fisted politics in fiction isn't anything new, ham-fisted politics where the writer can't even comprehend that other people disagree in good faith isn't new either but it had rarely been platformed by major corporations before because such people are typically bad writers in general, especially in writing believable characters, and the audience for such terrible writing wasn't large enough. Now there's a hypothetical fanbase you can claim will buy this stuff, the problem is they don't. So there's lots of "tests" with these people and you often never hear from them again. The funnier thing is when good writers of color keep being given only "ethnic" characters to write, and everybody thinks this is progress.
