I’m so sick of the anti nerd movement. If you hate nerds so much find do your own hobbies.
Who wrote this? Or maybe this is yet another post or meme that accuses anyone who doesn’t like the lousy comics made today as racist or sexist. Even though by normal standard comic books in the 70s or 80s weren’t racist or sexist (granted I’m sure you could find something but I mean overall).
It's the sex pest goony beard man (I know that doesn't narrow it down) with the inflation fetish (hopefully that does). Can't remember his name, though.
Must be a Biden enjoyer.
Money printer go brrrrrrt.
This will never not be funny
I prefer the edit where he ends up in the hospital with that bat shoved up his ass.
God bless internet autists for finding this piece of history.
There's a whole treasure trove on certain farm forums that catalogues people with such antics.

This is like propaganda for children.
But the children are in adult bodies.
AND WHY WAS THAT, HUH?
I heard it was due to the duopolization of Diamond and the other big distributor at the time (don't recall the name), who didn't want their products sold in regular stores or on the newstand and thought they got better presentation in stores they had more control over, which allowed them to hold even more control over prices.
it was literally all downhill from there.
This is the worst inflation porn I've ever seen
Those who screech about gatekeeping deserve to be gatekept the most, because if you dont stop them, they will gatekeep you.
I'm pretty sure the history of comics doesn't start in the 70s.
More like existing business owners balked at trying to figure out what to carry with bloated catalogs and picky customers. Comics would not have survived without detaching from stores that were dedicated to something else like candy or hobbies.
You mean like Hollywood pumping out movies and cartoons that made millions in box office and merch with the likes of Superman, Spiderman, etc?
Says the label
Says the label
"No history existed before I got involved in anything!" What you call "comics culture" is really usurping characters and plotlines ingrained and mostly beloved as a common mythos in modern society and weaponizing them into subversive battering rams to destroy reason and family.
You mean a site that openly and brazenly has degenerate pornography on like half the site that any child can see with a single click confirming they're allowed to? I thought you labeled this "progress"?
Only a broken leftist brain could cobble together such nonsense.
I couldn’t have said it better myself. Reminds me of critics who were shocked that people didn’t like Luke’s portrayal in TLJ
marxism is the opposite of progress
Panel 5: Nerd shoots bear as an intruder in his home. Bear bleeds to death.
Funny thing is, comics were much more likely to touch on those issues back when the likes of television and movies wouldn't touch them with a twelve foot pole thanks to censorship boards being so strict. Of course now that it's an inconvenient aspect that either needs to be ignored or denigrated as 'not good enough'
Exactly. They touched on these topics in a much better way. Crying about racial oppression or rape culture in the western world today looks ridiculous
worthless faggot reinventing history
I like how having such a successful increase in demand that you start purchasing buildings all over the country in local communities to sell to a niche market is considered "temporarily" successful.
No, that's actually considered, wildly successful you fucking idiot. Also, what do you think is easier, going to a place that literally sells to your niche market, or ordering your comic books from mail orders in other comics and purchasing them through catalogs and subscriptions?
Making stores isn't hiding anything, in fact, it's a demonstration of the market becoming so mainstream that you can sell your wares next to the grocery store or your fucking Pottery Barn.
In fact, what we have seen is blowback from Leftists taking over the comic industry and driving it into the ground, which is causing those comic stores to fucking close altogether, or for them to change to a different part of the nerd market: like selling board games or arts/crafts which are more profitable. The "progress" that the idiot author wants to praise is literally killing the comic book industry off in a way that shouldn't even be possible.
The problem at hand is the open hatred and maliciousness of creators in the comic book industry towards consumers, along with their political lecturing, which has made young people avoid low quality garbage like the plague, and made older people stop purchasing altogether.
Daily reminder that a single manga sold more than the entire US Comic market (Marvel, DC, Indie) put together. And that this is used by some comics authors to show that there is insane demand for comics. In other news, comic makers driving up prices due to overuse of copium reserves.
There's demand for comics, just none of theirs.
No bro, you dont understand bro! The demand for manga is so high, that it will sell out, and since people still want comics they will just buy the American ones! So that is how it helps us in the comic industry bro!
(this is not a meme, one of the comic writers actually argued this)
HEY LOOK IT'S ANDREW DOBSON LMAO

This is 10 years old. Dobby got so, so much more pathetic since then. He's now over 40, still fat, still bald, still unloved, still jacks it to cartoon girls getting grotesquely inflated, still impotently seething on the internet.

Their definition of "progress" is genetic dead ends and sexual diseases.
They are either too retarded to be allowed to have opinions or are active enemies of the human race.
Wait, when I see that bear, I automatically think of some sort of horrid sexual perversion and grooming, but I forgot why. What did he do again? Wasn't he a pedo?
"Disinfect." That choice says quite a bit about where these Fascists are coming from.
Translation: "We have shifted the Overton window. Those who don't comply will be treated like bacteria."
Equality flag I guess
Equality flag was popular in the 90s, back when gays were all about pretending they just wanted equal rights.
It's the logo for the "human rights campaign."
It was one of the most popular bumper stickers in the states in the late 00's.
