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

[AnOminous]

A fun fucking fact- I know more women that play Warhammer than I know actual female comic fans.

I'm just amazed you know any women at all, you weirdo.

 

[Puddleduck]

I've seen more people who resemble YaBoi at different stages of their life. Meanwhile the stereotype brings to mind.....well, Mark Waid. My assumption is they're going off old stereotypes of "nerds" in general rather that anything unique to that demographic. It'd be like calling card game spergs "friendless" when it doesn't fit their shtick.

Let's be real - despite being a dad and former marine, Zack is clearly a huge nerd.

I'm talking about age and gender demographics, not social status, you can be male and in your 30s-40's, read comics and be a perfectly functional member of society, shocker I know!
Now it's probably at least a decade since I darkened the door of my local comic book store, so it's interesting to know who's frequenting them these days, but are they buying comicbooks or gaming and buying all the other stuff that LCS need to stock these days to survive?
It's hard to get an accurate picture, on the one hand you have shill sites trying to convince you that women account for nearly 50% of readers:

Market Research Says 46.67% of Comic Fans are Female

Market Research Says 46.67% of Comic Fans are Female Tweet While we don’t have any market research, the eyes don’t lie. If you go to conventions and comic book stores, more and more female readers …

Which Marvel seems to believe..

That's nice Axel, but since launching all these pandering titles ......where are the fuckin' sales?

Meanwile Newsarama tells me that:

Is the Average Age of Comic Book Readers Increasing? Retailers Talk State of the Business 2017

The greying of the comic book readership? Not so fast.

www.newsarama.com

"According to most retailers we surveyed, ongoing comic book consumers have aged in recent years to average in their mid- to late-30s."
"When we opened in 1988, we located close to three high schools, several middle and elementary schools," said Joe Field, owner of Flying Colors Comics in Concord, California. "Back then, the average age of a Flying Colors customer was about 18. These days, the average age is 35. Yes, comics sure have matured!"

With a lack of new readers coming in that makes more sense to me, as does the fact that it's not girls buying cape shit.

I wasn't saying you're guilty of it. Just pros seem to think old 400 pound losers are the norm and it confuses me.

Probably because most of them are that stereotype. * seriously look at Mark Waid,Gail Simone and Joe Quesada for prime examples *

I know a handful, some of them have touched my penis. It's just that I have to pay up front and I can't tell anyone about it.

They're including manga, so I'd be willing to believe those figures are at least roughly accurate.

It's one of those "technically correct if you accept their premises but not really useful for the discussion" figures, like when they proudly announce that women now make up 50% of gamers, and in the tiny text you find out they're including everyone who ever played Candy Crush on their cell phone as a gamer to get that number.

If you believe that women make up a significant portion of western comic audiences, I have a bridge to sell you.

Behind the pizza palace in Marlton New Jersey? That wasn't a woman.

 

[RodgerDodger]

Part of the whole "get woke go broke" stereotype is they just assume that for some reason, their audience is complete exceptional individuals who can just be shooed into their next cuck cage and they aren't going to rebel, and that the ones who do rebel against being fed low quality content are just evil racists, or whatever, whose opinions can just be ignored.

This is why so many have not only withdrawn their financial support from these scumbags, but have actually redirected their money to directly attacking them.

And somehow, even after this, they still don't get it.

It always amazes me the way they assume that this "woke" new "better" audience that they keep chasing, has any money or would ever give it to them? It's like they never grasp that their selected target audience is sleeping on somebody elses couch most nights?

You sir, are a fucking liar.

I do miss the feeling of her stubble against my neck as we made love.

Gotta admit, though- I didn't realize the pussy was that far in the back and smelled like shit.

At least you got a free green lantern comic and a cool swastika style signature from that young lady.

Whoa, what do I look like, some kind of faggot? Fuck you.

...it was a Batman comic, and we got butterfly tramp stamps together.

 

[CheezzyMach]

Hmmm, maybe.

GG had very little for Joe Shmoe, whereas CG produces comicbooks. While I can't honestly see retail dying, I think shelfspace will shrink and be dominated by the Big Two.

Indie creators will need to find a different outlet, and it could well be something roughly in the mold of CG, even if it's not CG in its current form.

I mean in the same vein of stupid infighting and exceptional Gay Ops that only hurt your side.

I think the mainstream comics industry is already slowly weaning off of SJW shit. * even if it's doing it extremely grudgingly *

I do a lot of nerd hobbies and that involves going to nerd stores that sell shit like Warhammer and Magic cards- and yeah, I play at some of these places. A while back, tabletop gaming decided it was going to try and pander harder toward these woke weirdos.

None of it brought in this phantom audience, because like you said- these people are sleeping on someone's couch. I mean, do you honestly think your typical woke weirdo can manifest 4 friends to meet up and play D&D- as well as afford the books? You think they can drop $600+ on a Warhammer 40k army, or even handle a competitive game against other human beings? Do you think they're going to spend $100+ on a Magic release night? No, they can't and they won't. Not to mention, these fucking weirdos rub normal people the wrong way- and the average guy running a game shop isn't going to tolerate someone who comes through the doors and pisses off all his paying customers (especially those that have spent $100.00+ every weekend on gaming stuff)... so they tend to get ignored until they leave or flat-out removed from places.

These people complaining don't want to make a product appeal to more people, they're bitter weirdo losers that want to vandalize something that white guys like- because they're just vermin consumed by hate.

The people at companies that pander to them are usually either someone with skeletons in their closet who doesn't want to get dragged over the internet, or someone who miscalculated the potential profitability of "woke" (blame Social Media for that).

I like when you come across anti-CG people who think it's still 2014-2016 and Marvel is still replacing all their characters with minority teenagers who will be around forever.

Then you look back at Marvel and pretty much all the OG characters are back where they should be. They put so much stock in a fad that they didn't realize it left.

Not that said characters are gone, more like they go repurposed for more reasonable roles.

Yeah, totally a lot of CG spergs think we are still in that period too but it's funnier coming from someone defending them.

To me the wake up period was not only the originals coming back while shitheads like Riri are relegated to spin off books that'll probably be shitcanned by next year but Elektra and Spider-Woman getting their classic costumes back.

Time will tell if She Hulk will be deroided and Psylocke will be Asian again though but baby steps first.

E giving his best Edwin impression. I think general consensus among people is that it is far beyond too little too late. The wc fags already falsely accusing people of being pedo's and doxing ppl for even looking at Ethan the wrong way. Gonna be honest this building is burning down and the only way anything can be salvaged is if the pros completely separate from comicsgate and leave it to the critics and consumers. Truthfully I see no other way.

Same thing capn Cummings said. Same thing I said. And honestly same thing ya boi said before the money blinded him and drove his ass mindless.
Ethan is contagious cancer, like airborne AIDS going near that faggot even on the internet is a shitshow. His entire life he's been a piece of shit don't expect him to change because one of his handlers told him to tweet that.
Edwin is the least retarded of all of them because in his heart he is a good man. I wouldn't compare him to Ethan.

Edwin is the least exceptional of all of them because in his heart he is a good man. I wouldn't compare him to Ethan.

Starting to doubt Edwin is legit a good man. People losing trust in him ever since he started excusing WC faggotry. Now it's come out he started a DM group to push the "Cherries Bad" narrative on creators saying there's a "conspiracy" to make WC out to be the Villains which is really exceptional considering EVERYTHING those fags have done leading up to Ro saying he's sitting on people's information and yesterdays admitted doxing of MidnightCherry. The top brass are losing credibility faster than ever.

Side note: I heard that one of the stories Edwin told was he was being harassed by Cherry sock accounts yet the only Cherry sock accounts were parody accounts made by WC to attack MidnightCherry with. Also find it fishy that Edwins been excusing harassment by telling ppl how its impossible to be harassed on social media due to a block and mute function but says he's being harassed in a private DM. I don't know just weird to me.

 

[Stoneheart]

Yeah these cherries are bitter faggot cry babies and most of the agro going on always seems to lead back to some sped with a clown avatar

that sped is realy funny and doesnt sound salty about how he left CG. also isnt his art girl the same who makes the posters for Zack?
im not sure if there is realy so much bad blood between the persons involved.

The main issue with print on demand is not the quality (from what I've ordered recently it's very HQ) Its the cost.
POD aren't going to take an order for 10k issues when it's way cheaper to upgrade to a full print run at that point.
Comics has a very small overhead for the original creator and almost always costs them money in the beginning.

they have enough cash on hand to buy a whole Printrun and sell it on Amazon. but they rather beg every time they make a book instead of taking even a little risk.

Doug is the only one who makes kickfundme right, his books are very special and his market isnt that big outside of his core fanbase.

Ethan is contagious cancer, like airborne AIDS going near that faggot even on the internet is a shitshow. His entire life he's been a piece of shit don't expect him to change because one of his handlers told him to tweet that.

Ethan is realy bad at judging peoples character, i havent seen much Faggotry coming from him, he makes some nasty friends, and he supports them while they only want his fame.

There is just one answer to that bunch of Rome LARPers, and it come from another bunch of Rome LARPers.
