Sorry, I can't hear all this whining over the sound of all that money manga's raking in - pretty sure they've been (absolutely justly) outselling Western comics by 10 or more times for years.
Well then! That does provide a more plausible reason for Conway spouting this shit, maybe he just wants to try to eliminate the competition. At least I hope so, that makes way more sense than him having actually become a woke puritan - in that regard, as the article itself points out, he's a man pointing out the specks in other people's eyes while forgetting the 2,000-year-old pine log jammed in his own.

Obviously. The top of the manga industry is an absolutely cut-throat business. They don't hesitate to weed out non-sellers and are extremely dispassionate in doing so. Even niche markets are internally competitive.
The comic industry that actively works against its audiences and disregards sales is supposed to be comparable? No chance.

20 top sellers are manga, comics are in the shitter
