Diseased #Comicsgate - The Culture Wars Hit The Funny Books!

Agreed. Marvel tried to push Mosaic as the next major new character for Marvel Now 2.0 and the title tanked. It probably did not help that the character had Inhuman origins and Marvel was pushing the Inhumans as ersatz mutants because of Perlmutter's vendetta against 20th Century Fox. Now it appears Marvel may sweep the Inhumans under the rug now that the television mini-series was an epic failure and Disney has the X-Men rights.

It makes me wonder if Marvel will downplay the Inhuman element of Ms. Marvel and Moon Girl (both of whom are editor's pets who are shielded from cancellation, for now) in the future.

I'm also expecting Marvel to bring back the Fantastic Four since they were a casualty of Perlmutter's hatred towards Fox having both the Fantastic Four and the X-men.

What's the deal with the milkshakes and why is everyone spazzing about it?

The catalyst of this coming to a head, much like how Quinn harassing herself then blaming wizardchan was the catalyst of GamerGate.

If you think about it, those milkshakes were just a ploy to bring all the boys to the yard.

He will be added to the OP soon, Dan Slott is one of the biggest assholes in SJW Marvel, he was recently pushed aside from what was a 5-year(?) run on Amazing Spider-Man, which is Marvel's flagship book starring its flagship character.

Now that he is leaving Amazing Spider-Man (or maybe he was fired) and Silver Surfer was cancelled, he pretty much unemployed. That should free him up to cyber-stalk Doug Ernst even more.

DC is doing relatively great, they are now officially the #1 selling comics company in the country, their video games sell well, their TV Series are well-reviewed and have a fandom of their own going..

.. They're also triggering Bob Chipman by merely putting out movies, which is always great to see.

Oh lord, Bob is under the delusion that Marvel is positioning Ms. Marvel, Ironheart, and the other legacies for their own MCU films. Miles Morales is the only Legacy getting an (animated) film, but I do not expect it to do well at all. That said, his opinion does not concern me. He does not even read NuMarvel at all. He would see how awful a character Riri Williams/Ironheart is... oh, who am I kidding? He would be fawning over her regardless.

Undoubtedly, though I find it amusing that DC is riffing off the F4 with The Terrifics, of which they are putting some serious talent on (Ivan Reis? Sign me up!) I have got to wonder how bad things were at Marvel for Jeff Lemire to bolt back to DC after his exclusive expired.

TLDR this thing can be summed up in much the same way as gamergate, magicTGgate, starwarsgate....fuck sake this shit is getting tedious.

A handful of annoyed neckbeards and spergs vocally dislike the way a cynically "woke-ified" media is run instead of just tuning out and letting it slowly decay into nothingness like the rest of the internet does, are declared literal nazis and literal rapists who pose a serious and genuine threat to the lives of all women/minorities in that media (unless enough people throw shekels at said women/minorities) by the workers and profiteers of said woke-ified media, who then spread the word to all their friends in various outlets, and a giant circlejerking campaign to "DEFY THE BIGOTS AND HARASSERS GUIZ!" is held by a bunch of little-big name media people in order to drum up flagging support from fans and to intimidate any other fan who might be considering openly criticising them with the threat of smearing them a nazi and that their "icons" will call them mean names.

And much like all the above fucking gates, this shit does nothing to change the inexorable decay and lingering death of that media, other than maybe somewhat hastening it (due to both more fans tuning out in disgust, and potential new fans put off by all the shit being thrown between both sides) and making the whole affair a heck of a lot more hilarious for us jews here on the farms

That's a real problem though, do you criticize the state of a hobby you are involved in? Or do you just decide cut all ties and avoid any hobbies the corporate diversity machine takes over and hope the money dries up for them? I'm thinking there's not going to be many hobbies left for you if you just decide to stop participating when this happens.

I've honestly started playing more japanese games thanks to the diversity machine slowly working it's way into western gaming. Less chance for a complete drama shitstorm like Mass Effect Andromeda.

When a certain group is the only one left in control of an industry, they get to dictate the standards they want to push, which does influence foreign markets.

From what i've seen and heard of Nintendo recently, they honestly seem to be doing 50/50 when it comes to censorship. Pretty sure it's a bit better now then what Nintendo was doing a couple of years ago.

Their censorship isn't because they think certain things are right or wrong, though. They're because they think Americans are FUCKING STUPID. And they're right.

I feel like its almost too little too late to save the comic industry from diversity hiring. As in, that we've gone too far with this road to the point where we can't see our way back. At this point maybe its time for another "Dark Night Returns". Not in tone nor edgyness, but I mean in the sense that it gives us something new, something to give us some fresh air. Now I know may now may hate TDKR or even the author himself, but no one can deny the cultural significance it had. I think if we had something like that now it would either make or break the comic industry. But then again who am I to talk about an industry I have barely an knowledge about.
