    I've been reading comics for well over 30 years now. What's the problem?

    I'd sure love to know what "invasion" took place in comics given that they've literally never been more popular...

    Something something something Lady Thor something something something Black Panther is just The Lion King something something something Brie Larson something.

    Well if something has been one way for a while and has an established audience that enjoys it the way it is then I can imagine them not being too happy about a group of people hijacking the medium to push post modernism ideology that they know they would not have such a large audience for otherwise. In these new creators minds it is all about getting the message across. This has been bad when it shifts the core of what many liked about that medium and has been seen in many franchise films, TV, comics and games, hell even the news is getting in on the action.

    I do not think it is as simple as saying "well I support inclusion and highlighting marginal groups so anything that is done in the name of progress is a good thing and anyone that disagrees must be a hateful bigot." Which I feel is some peoples stance on here and could not be further from the truth, People just want escapism for their boring lives and for most men that is a fantasy with out someone else's politics getting interrupting that.

    Captain Britain: Muslim :D

    The comics industry is in an absolute state with much of the same, hitpieces for political leanings, deplaforming and typical clique tolerant behaviour that we've seen in games industry, only worse because there's more monopoly in that (comic) industry with Marvel and DC having gone completely woke.

    Back to insane video game news. Llimited run games will ban and even take legal action against you if use memes:

    Comics have been political since comics began....

    LOL, "comics aren't political" being said by people who claim to be fans of the likes of Alan Moore or Warren Ellis or Garth Ennis or even Stan Lee!

    What are you talking about? Comics, especially Marvel ones, have -always- had a political commentary surrounding them.

    Hell, the entire Civil War series was based around US history in direct reference to the Japanese Internment camps in the US, the Nazi Concentration camps and even attitudes towards Muslims in the US.

    What are you talking about? Did you just imagine what I posted as what Shiminay posted? Political content/theme in a medium =/= political agenda or woke behavior. I only even mentioned politics when it came to people in the comics industry discriminating each other and borderline death threats... which I guess can all be ignored because it's coming from the right kind of people :rolleyes:

    In related news, DC bends the knee to communists:
    https://globalnews.ca/news/6234665/batman-poster-china-hong-kong-dc-comics/
    Are you saying comics are now pandering to women and minorities now? Strange, I thought their demographic were young males. I wonder what changed.
    I think it's more so "Everything I disagree with is muhsoggyknee".
    Recent interview about comicsgate:

    2K has 'diversity' and 'inclusive' in a job description:
    https://archive.md/K5jSC
    I've never seen an instance of this type of yap being used as anything other than "We need less white people so we can virtue signal, please."

    Not news but I just found this:
    https://medium.com/@tdadlerwp/the-wikipedia-post-table-of-contents-65cc03af751b
    Anyone who thinks wikipedia is reliable should check it out. Seems like a very in-depth examination of the shyte going on over there that has managed to keep the GG article one of the most biased and ban-heavy (to editors) articles on the site.

    Shi**ty gamer takes original creator seems to have had enough. RIP

    woke behavior
    what exactly do you mean by this and why do you seem to think it's an inherently bad thing?

    Sophia blasting them now as well. Turns out copying articles was the least of their problems, too.

    They've really gone off the deep end and are just the other side of the coin. Don't like the LGB flag? Don't buy games that promote it. Easy
