I went to the sports cards shop today (usually go about twice a month) and it is next to the comic book store which is great for me. After I got some cards I went to the comic book store and went to the back issue section. This store has a small Manga section and the rest is mostly back issues. As always it was myself and some other dudes going through long boxes. It is like that pretty much every time. A bunch of guys around my age (maybe the youngest being in their 30s) going through long boxes. There is another bigger comic shop near me (haven't been since they had day for women and "non-male genders") that had a big Manga and tabletop sections that had a number of young people and the main product for women is the Manga section.
Every time I'm at the comic book store I can't help but wonder if anyone at Disney Marvel has ever been to a comic book store. Heck, do any of the people in charge of DC/Marvel ever go to any shops. Can't help but chuckle every time I think about some executive saying "look at the overwhelming number of dudes buying comics, clearly that means we need to market to teenage girls". Reminds me of the line by Eric July that modern comics are made for 14 year old girls on Tumbler who don't read comics.
Kind of the same annoyance as when I see those rom-coms or Christmas rom-coms (I make sure to support the Great American Family channel) and you see how they churn out content that is aimed to what women enjoy and nobody is brought in to subvert, you never see an ugly dude in those movies either.
Oh well, like I said it is silly to get annoyed and at least I know where to get older stuff. Like the used bookstore nearby has a ton of old sci-fi and fantasy.
It's annoying because you're a fair minded person. You can see the unfairness and the hypocrisy of these subversive elements, and because your a decent and moral person it irks you. Sorry I didn't mean to speak for you, but that's how I see it.
They attacked the boy scouts and they bent but the girl scouts said girls deserve their own spaces. You being a fair person would say let everyone have their own spaces, and mix spaces, let everyone have the freedom to pick. These fuckers hate freedom because freedom saps their control
Remember the sob stories where women would cry about being the only girl in a comic book store and some “evil nerd” harassed her (aka asked her what comics she likes). Or crying about video games. I remember back then thinking you entered a male dominated hobby and are upset that a lot of males enjoy said hobby
And thanks for the kind words
The problem with most females is no one holds them responsible for their feelings. When they say they are uncomfortable the majority of dudes will wonder what they did and how to fix it. Instead of telling the girls well we aren't picking your emotions, you are handle them or leave we don't need to cater to your fee fees.
I would suspect you've been uncomfortable somewhere and you were probably told some variation of "cowboy the fuck up" or "man the fuck up." Because men are taught to be responsible for their feelings. If your uncomfortable overcome it or leave. Women aren't treated that way.
True. My dad had zero patience for whining when it came to his sons. His “advice” was to shut up and try again. My sister could freely whine and get comfort
