Jawbreakers: Lost Souls, the crowdfunded book by that D&C alt-right asshole. Stores didn't want to carry it, so they were threatened. The publisher was made aware of that, so they dropped the book.What stupid ass book are these man children bitching about stores not carrying?
That's about it! And thing is, they've gained ground, at least on Marvel. They've tucked aside some of the legacy characters, returned the founding Avengers to the forefront instead of their successors, and women employees such as editor Heather Antos have left the company. Yet they still bitch at Marvel for conspiring against them (while simultaneously starting a rumor that Marvel's editor in chief reprimanded Mark Waid for speaking with the Jawbreakers publisher--never happened), and even though Antos has left, they're still calling her new job to harass her.So, the guy's an asshole. He directs harassment campaigns towards people for...not being white males, or not writing about white males? Then he decides to make his own comic, and gets a publisher. He then harasses stores that won't carry his straight-outta-90's-Image-storytelling book. And now the publishers no longer want to work with him. What a fucking surprise.
Christ, what is it with the alt-right? Do they understand that actions have consequences? I mean, people bitch about millennial entitlement, but God damn, these guys epitomize entitlement. Their entire "movement" is a fucking temper tantrum.
Yes, they just think that's unfair when it happens to them... consequences should be for women and minorities, duh.Christ, what is it with the alt-right? Do they understand that actions have consequences?
“Leopards-eating-faces party,” and all that.Yes, they just think that's unfair when it happens to them... consequences should be for women and minorities, duh.
Just gonna leave this here.
He probably does see videogames as an art form, but not if they were made by women.I’ll bet this guy thinks that video games can’t be art, too.

And he hates Wolfenstein for allowing the player to participate in the persecution of a minor political party.He probably does see videogames as an art form, but not if they were made by women.
Well just dash my dreams.no, not like Sunstone
If he was going to do that with DC characters, you know it'd be Harley and Ivy.Well just dash my dreams.
That's my other dreamIf he was going to do that with DC characters, you know it'd be Harley and Ivy.
I won't lend him one, but I'll bill him for the replacement after I break this one on his face.Anyone wanna lend the Diversity & Comics asshole a shovel? Wait, never mind. He's digging his own grave just fine on his own.
Catwoman or Harley Quinn are proper female characters (and re-inventing their looks to be less D-cup-in-spandex is a good thing except for my inner bhamv).
(If Superman was invented today he might be black, but Kal-El isn't passing down his cape to a new guy to come along, so a black version would have to be another Kryptonian, I guess?).
...except when it is.Complaining that it's a new thing being done for the sake of diversity is just flat out wrong.
Just because it can be something done for diversity doesn't mean it's a new thing. Editorial mandates are not a new thing either. Nor is changing a comic to appeal to a new demographic. Robin was, arguably, added to Batman comics in order to appeal to a younger demographic; a lot of sidekick characters were....except when it is.
Can you give a couple real examples of late where the comics went too far? Because like the guy in the Nazi hat in the video, you're giving a bunch of hyperbole but nothing that's actually happened....except when it is.
I mean, if you want to switch up the characters, go nuts. Give Caliban the Captain Universe power. Change Green Lantern’s vulnerability to be mechanically separated chicken instead of wood/yellow. Have Black Canary and Green Arrow come out as Bi (nobody would bat an eyelash!). But don’t pass the mantle or rebrand the character JUST because some exec says, “We need more appeal among 18-22yr olds who play Fortnight, so let’s give Frank Castle a pair of angel wings and a purple shotgun.”
No. Make it matter. Changing “The Invisible GIrl” into “The Invisible Woman” mattered, it wasn’t a crappy stunt aimed at bringing in more feminist readers.

Having none of your movie characters available when their respective movies are coming out, and the potential ability to gain new readers is at its highest.Can you give a couple real examples of late where the comics went too far? Because like the guy in the Nazi hat in the video, you're giving a bunch of hyperbole but nothing that's actually happened.
I can’t because I’ve been out of comics for so long, so no specific examples of late (New 52, mebbe?), but when so many characters change so quickly, it starts to smell more and more like when that new boss comes in and just HAS to change everything. Not because it’ll be better, just so that it’ll be new. And fresh.Can you give a couple real examples of late where the comics went too far? Because like the guy in the Nazi hat in the video, you're giving a bunch of hyperbole but nothing that's actually happened.
