So after seeing the news about how the sales of gay superman are tanking (color me surprised) I remembered how a few weeks back an owner of a comic book store that I met at a convention I was working told me I could make some quick and easy cash selling my Female Thor #1 and my Ms. Marvel #1 as soon as their shows come out. I bought those back when I still had the "give everything a chance" mindset. I gave that mindset up a while back, then reading Don't Give Money to People who hate You kind of solidified it.
It is funny about the whole gay superman thing. At what point do you realize that while most people have no animosity against the lgbt crowd or while I may have a religious objection I have no desire to harass anyone about how they live, they are still a very small group and a lot of people are probably not interested in stories that push it heavily.
Most people find degeneracy disgusting on a visceral level. It isn't any different than an aversion to disease and rot. It is a survival instinct without which humankind would not have survived.
And just like our inborn preference for people that look like us and natural distrust of people who don't, it has to be culturally overridden in order to usher in the glorious marxist utopia.
On a practical level the problem isn't the existence of fags and trannies, they have existed forever. The problem is social "acceptance" of degeneracy. That is one of the factors leading to the downfall of civilization.
Don't ask, don't tell and clear public denouncement of degeneracy is the correct position.
I meant as a Christian I believe it goes against the Bible but I’m not gonna go out of my way to bother anyone. I do get annoyed that anything less than excessive affirmation is considered hateful.
Leaving evil to fester and grow just creates more sin and suffering in the future. The only reason half the world exists as advanced as it does now is because older Christians had zero qualms bothering everyone at any chance available and dragged entire continents into "modernity" (of the time) with their culture at the forefront.
That is a good point. I’ve been guilty of the live and let live mentality but I do have to remember to show love so even if I’m telling someone the truth about their sin I have to do it in a loving way
Just like Jesus when he let those moneylenders do what they wanted in the place of worship yeah. And who can forget such famous verses like "suffer the witch, it's fine, don't bother them"
I never understood the perspective of Christians who didn't want to bother people. That's an atheistic perspective. If you believe there's nothing in the afterlife, then yeah it would be annoying having people try to convince you to change your behavior. But If you believe there is an eternity of torment awaiting a sinner unless they repent, it is incumbent upon you to try to save them from that fate. It's far ruder to leave them to it and not try to save their eternal soul. Don't you wish to save them, or is this person not worth it in your eyes?
That's not to say that there's not a time or place, and a recognition of ones own persuasive abilities (or lack thereof). Be effective about it, sure, but there's a time and place for 'bothering'.
That’s true. Thank you for pointing that out. I guess since I’ve been overly judgmental and harsh in the past I’m paranoid about that now
Man, can you please stop being so mature and polite in your responses? You're making the rest of us look bad by comparison. Thank you.
Ha! I’ll work on it.
Christ compels you to not allow faggotry to exist.
Yeah Marvel and DC are just slash fanfiction now.
well I could probably make between 100 and 200 selling them. I know my Miles Morales 1st app has skyrocketed (even the second and third prints) and I bought those when they first came out. With the big 2 along with Image I buy their old stuff in the back issue section. I'm currently going through Vol. 1 of The Avengers and Thor. Great stuff, and there are more older comics than I could get to in my lifetime. I will support non woke creators so I'll check out the comic book Young Rippa is making.
There's a reason religions object. The behavior is cultural cancer and will spread if not nipped in the bud.
I’m a Christian and believe that homosexuality is against the Bible. I just meant that I don’t go around harassing them but some of them think that I’m hurting them by not applauding them
I'm 100% in the same boat. I've got an adopted sister who's gotten caught up in the lifestyle, and we all love her dearly, but we won't pretend it's healthy or support her and her "wife" sleeping together when they visit.
If anything, we know for a fact it's unhealthy because we know the psychological roots. She was neglected by her mother and abused by her mother's lovers. She's with an older woman because she's trying to recover that relationship she never had. (Which honestly, must sting for mom, seeing as she did her best....)
In a way, you are. Deep down they know there’s something not right about it, and a common thread for evil is that it’s not enough for you to allow it to exist. You must be made to praise it as the good, because even a flicker of the truth can wipe it out instantly.
The good and normal are content to exist without the validation of others. Reality just is. Fantasy needs constant reinforcement to prevent reality from intruding.
You might want to hold onto them. There could be another toilet paper shortage.
I considered collecting some recent DC/Marvel comics on the off chance that they do so poorly that 30-50 years from now those issues would actually be considered scarce due to lack of interest during release.
But if I do that I'll be no better than a hoarder putting trash in my house thinking it'll be worth something someday.
