The Nagging Mom: What the **** is up with women and censorship?

[Splackavelli]

So now look how they doing ya man's Spidey...

Yep, he's wearing his gf shirt. A shit about feminism...smh

Ex billionaire CEO?!?!?Helost his money?!?!?! Wtf spidey?!?!?

Yeah he lost it all during Secret Empire.

It was some dumb shit about Dr. Octopus trying to take over Parker Industries and turn it over to Hydra, so Pete destroyed all the IP and went outta business.

 

[jono]

That's the crazy thing to me. So much of this shit is fake. I grew up under the impression that niggas who read comics, play video games etc were nerds who got no pussy and were actively shunned by outsiders.

A movie like the 40 Year Old Virgin encapsulated this idea. What was the first thing his friends did when they tried to get him some pussy? They wanted to get rid of all his collectibles and nerd stuff because it was pussy repellent.

For years this was true:

But out of nowhere it seems like women care so much now about what guys are doing in games or comics

true but girls was always gaming. they only played kiddie shit like super Mario or Kirby though.

That's what folks dont get.

Women read comics and manga too but it ain't the same shit men read.

People think everybody should do everything. Sometimes people just ain't interested!

Women and girls buy and or read comics and such that is women friendly... Even though we make up a significant portion of the market very little is catered towards us which is a part of the problem

And at the end of the day we live in a capitalist society

The ultimate goal is to expend ur market to make more money

That means making comics more accessible to minorities including women, poc and gays now that they have more buying power

Comics, and video games to a lesser extent, also have a long history of racist caricature that the industry is now grapling with

There are more blk super heroes

And recently batman confronts police racism in latest comic book so you have a problem with that?

Should the industry not be held responsible for the misogyny and racism they perpetuate

Should the industry not feel as though they have a social responsibility to address these things? Or rather why do yall have such a big problem with it

*shrugs*

Before anyone starts most popular female spaces and publications do not perpetuate the same contempt for anything other and objectification of the opposite sex at all. most of them is centered around what women can do to keep a man, i.e. lose weight, tone, makeup, head manuals etc

Your problem is that you're making something that's not political -- political!

Watch whatever you want, read whatever you want nobody gives a fuck.

People give a fuck when you decide to change what they want into some shit you want.

Nobody wants to be preached to or lambasted for liking something. Move on. Take all that nagging shit somewhere else, niggas was having fun over here.

If you really liked something, you wouldn't go out of your way to change it. It's that type of thinking that is ruining fun ventures.

All this policing of the imagination, telling people what they can and can't fantasize about or buy with their money... Shit is arrogant as fuck.

Everything ain't about you and your politics.

Get the fuck on!

Females dont make up a significant percentage of the comic industry market.

The sales nose dive in marvel and smaller indie companies like idw image prove that.

Females make up about 4% of the market. The propaganda that females make up 40% is one of the biggest lies that has backfired.

Marvel flagship titles and characters are selling at levels that would have gotten books cancelled 20 years ago.

Captain marvel

Squirrel girl

Wasp

Fem thor

Cuck spiderman

None of these titles sell. These are books that cater to females, or rather feminist interests. And they can't sell over 25k.

Females dont read comics. Females like to cosplay. They like to play dress up and go to cons, or post pictures on the internet to elicit donations.

This falls in line with typical female behavior.

 

[LordZuko]

The black superheroes are lame af.

They put Blade in a Cosby sweater and turned him into a substitute teacher

They turned Luke cage from a bad ass to some poorly written clown

Race swapped mild morales and riri Williams as cosplay iron man is dumb.

The falcon being handed captain America when he had his own established character

All of this smacks of ok patronizing, and liberal white racists who are frightened of black people so they write these flat characters with no depth.

 

[LordZuko]

Comics are accessible to people.

Mile high comics was a company that promoted tons of black characters. Original black characters. But black people didn't support it.

Women have always been in comics as characters, writers, editors, main characters

Switching a character to being gay after an established history of the being straight is not making it accessible.

 

[LordZuko]

All you have to do is look at the covers to romance novels to see that the ideation that females don't objectify men is compete and utter trash.

I ain't gonna post covers here because that would be sus af.

Comparing magazines to comic books is a blatant false equivalence and pisses me off that you're such a cunt you think we'd be stupid enough to not notice.

There are tons of men's publications geared towards weight loss fashion being attractive to women etc etc. That is the 1:1 comparison not comparing a volume of Cosmo to an issue of Batman.

You fucking clown.

get out your feelings

comics, video games are inherently political because there is no real distinction between politics and stories about the world .... american superhero comics like super man and xmen for instance were political from their earliest days

in the 40s superman was a champion for the oppressed fighting wealthy industrialists and crooked politicians

and it's not about changing what makes comic books and video games video games and comic books... like i said its about practicing social responsibility and expanding the market

again comics and video games aren't just becoming more woman friendly, the industry has made a concerted effort to reach out to poc....even the disabled more than they have done in the past

is that bad? lol

this idea that its about women nagging and wanting to ruin male spaces is your male privilege talking

receipts?

otherwise from what i read more than a quarter of video gamers and computer gamers are women int he untied states
https://www.statista.com/statistics/232383/gender-split-of-us-computer-and-video-gamers/

as far as with comics there isn't a lot of market research

according to facebook 24 million US comic book fans and yet the best selling books barely sell 100k at best. more than 40% identify as being female. so really no conclusive arguments can be made other than these ppl are potential customers given the right material and marketing
https://graphicpolicy.com/2014/02/01/facebook-fandom-spotlight-who-are-the-us-comic-fans-5/
https://graphicpolicy.com/2013/09/02/facebook-fandom-spotlight-fans-of-female-comic-characters/

also female comic book character fans are largely female. no surpirse ppl like things they can relate too. that said, just because the wasp isn't selling doesn't mean women and girls don't read comics. it could mean the stories and characters could just be bad

and i'm not sure how any of this could be used to make the case promoting and celebrating diversity is not a worthy cause

Women really are devoid of rational thought at times sheesh!

They could march and ask for new gay cahracters for example.

What is idiotic is demanding that the already existing cahracters change gender and sexual orientation.

That means making comics more accessible to minorities including women, poc and gays now that they have more buying power

Comics, and video games to a lesser extent, also have a long history of racist caricature that the industry is now grapling with

There are more blk super heroes

And recently batman confronts police racism in latest comic book so you have a problem with that?

Should the industry not be held responsible for the misogyny and racism they perpetuate

Should the industry not feel as though they have a social responsibility to address these things? Or rather why do yall have such a big problem with it

*shrugs*

Before anyone starts most popular female spaces and publications do not perpetuate the same contempt for anything other and objectification of the opposite sex at all. most of them is centered around what women can do to keep a man, i.e. lose weight, tone, makeup, head manuals etc

Your problem is that you're making something that's not political -- political!

Watch whatever you want, read whatever you want nobody gives a fuck.

People give a fuck when you decide to change what they want into some shit you want.

Nobody wants to be preached to or lambasted for liking something. Move on. Take all that nagging shit somewhere else, niggas was having fun over here.

If you really liked something, you wouldn't go out of your way to change it. It's that type of thinking that is ruining fun ventures.

All this policing of the imagination, telling people what they can and can't fantasize about or buy with their money... Shit is arrogant as fuck.

Everything ain't about you and your politics.

Get the fuck on!

get out your feelings

comics, video games are inherently political because there is no real distinction between politics and stories about the world .... american superhero comics like super man and xmen for instance were political from their earliest days

in the 40s superman was a champion for the oppressed fighting wealthy industrialists and crooked politicians

and it's not about changing what makes comic books and video games video games and comic books... like i said its about practicing social responsibility and expanding the market

again comics and video games aren't just becoming more woman friendly, the industry has made a concerted effort to reach out to poc....even the disabled more than they have done in the past

is that bad? lol

this idea that its about women nagging and wanting to ruin male spaces is your male privilege talking

The industry was never anti-woman, you can't find a single thing that ever said women were welcome.

Female writers and editors going back 30 years

Female characters going back 60-70 years where is this shit you talking about?

lol

in video games and comics?

the humor

they way women are drawn and dressed.... the overt sexualization

the tendency to turn women into expendable plot accessories to further the hero’s arc opposed to 3 dimensional characters

same as for most mediums, male characters are given the overwhelming majority of the speaking lines

we have video games where you can only play male characters who have the ability to pick up and kill female prostitutes

wasn't a big, big comic book reader growing up but that was because of the aforementioned and my parents wasn't with it and all the violence

Women being sexual isn't anti-woman.

Women are sexual, get over it.

lol

it is when the majority of women are sexualized and have size D breast opposed to the male characters who to a large extent come in varying shapes and sizes ....and actually have shit to do and say that involves more than pleasing the male gaze

Who CARES?! Like is that really an issue? You feel its your place to tell people where to look?

How you going to police the imagination? FOH.

 

[jono]

When I hear or read women complaining about the way comics are drawn today, it makes part of me wish Jim Lee was still the next big thing.

Yall dont know nothing about the era of big guns, shoulder pads, thigh belts with pockets and big breasted contortionists.

Females act like Wolverine, Conan, Colossus, Beast, Hulk, Sentry, Blue Marvel etc dont give males body image issues.

Hell marvel use to put ouy a swimsuiy issue.

Bruh Cable's arms used to take up whole pages.

Niggas grew up with He-Man shirtless all the time. Nigga used to walk the Hulkster flex the 24 inch pythons and Ultimate Warrior cut out of granite.

It's these jealous snowflakes that think they have it so hard.

"Boo-hoo Elektra's tits are bigger than mine!"

Stop this jealous shit, you need counseling.
