Just an FYI, manga’s always targeted a Japanese audience because they make up a majority of the sales. That’s why they’ve been a good media source.
In the past year, with all the “Japanese good posts” that is starting to change, and the Western world is slowly starting to become the majority.
Can you guess what will happen when the woke West becomes the majority? I just want people to think about that before we bring even more Western attention to Japan.
The real solution is not to run to Japan, but to create alternative Western comics to this garbage. That’s the way to go, and it’s what I support (shipping costs are a pain, but it’s worth it).
No, you're a fucking moron if you think more people supporting what the industry is about, and having no intention of changing it, is somehow going to harm it, or is somehow locust-like.
and YOU are a fucking moron if you dont get what we are saying here. That the more attention you bring to the industry the more unwanted people are going to come in and harm it and infiltrate it. And we also cannot just run from place to place we need to build our own alternatives.
I don’t think todiwan knows nothing, but they are very much so living in the past.
They’re repeating talking points we heard years ago about comics, movies, and video games. Then all of those examples were corrupted by the people we were told not to worry about.
Manga writers own their own work. It isn't like DC/Marvel where the company owns everything. This has the advantage that the writers care about their work instead of their twitter feed. Not to mention that the manga industry is extremely competitive and if your quality goes down, so will your spot in the magazines.
It's what straight women call themselves to get alphabet cred without having to actually do anything. It's pretty similar to nonbinary which is mostly men. It's a meaningless term otherwise. It doesn't stop gender studies departments from grifting tuition out of students by having classes like "Queer Theory".
In the context of 2021, "queer" refers to Queer Theory, which is another branch of Critical Theory alongside CRT. The stated goal of QT is to destabilize and eventually the destroy the primacy of all normative behaviors, standards, and structures. It's a profoundly evil academic discipline.
My son watched some green lantern content and is interested in green lantern now. I want to get him some comic books to work on his reading. I conduct due diligence before buying him anything and was going to buy him some old comics (I don’t want to buy new because I know these companies are all woke as shit). In researching green lantern there seem to be many stretches of wokeness creeping into the arc.
Does anyone have suggestions for a run of green lantern that is cheap and not full of bullshit? I don’t know shit about comics.
DC Comics, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Queer coding - a bunch of wierdos reading way more into something, very often using stereotypes and beliefs that they would find offensive in almost any other context.
Joking aside I feel pretty comfortable believing 3/4 of claimed "queer coding" is just projection or misunderstanding.
Yeeeeah, I think that scene is too subtle. As DC themselves mentioned, they needed to highlight the subtle and only implicitly acknowledged elements in that scene. The two clearly need to be more clear in their sexual intentions.
Here’s the thing, you’d never see “[verb]-ing (v)” in the dictionary because that’s a noun form of the verb, not the base verb itself. Even in the example you gave, “reading” isn’t the verb, “am reading” is, and it’s a conjugation of “read”, specifically the singular first-person present perfect(?) conjugation. Oddly enough “I am reading” can be construed two different ways because of this. I’m being semantic here, I admit, but I like grammar, and dictionaries like to be very specific about how they enter words.
It's gay-coded, faggots, gay-coded! If you don't understand what you are talking about, don't speak.
Then again, these are straight people who think they are so special they must virtue signal their made up uniqueness by calling themselves queer. Gag me with a spoon.
Gosh, another “Japanese comic good post”?

Yes, "I enjoy your industry because it appeals to your local tastes". Very locust-like.
Who the fuck is pushing this narrative and why?
No, you're a fucking moron if you think more people supporting what the industry is about, and having no intention of changing it, is somehow going to harm it, or is somehow locust-like.

We all should know better by now, but the majority unfortunately still haven’t learned from history.
Tell em, brother. I think Funimation’s blue haired executives have infiltrated the boards of some prominent anime studios already.

Wtf does queer even mean anymore? Cause back in my day which was less then a couple years ago it just meant a weird person

"Queer" still means "odd" or "unusual," it was just co-copted by the gaystapo.
They literally cannot create, they can only steal.
First time I heard it, black riders were after a ring.
To quote a famous character, "I'm not gay, I'm just British!" "...I'm not British, I'm just gay."
I don't know, I think illustrations of two women snogging does come under "explicitly acknowledging the queerness"
maybe that's just me

Darkest Night is the most recent one I can think of.
DC Comics still chasing after Batman: The Animated Series.

They didn't even put the right figure of speech, as technically -ing verbs are gerunds, aka nouns. It should be "(to) queer code".

"coding" isn't real
Ngl, it's kinda hot.
Creepiness of clown sex aside.
A hot chick in leather making out with another chick under my accursed Male Gaze?
