And Frank Miller, one of the truly great comic writers of all time, wrote Holy Terror. It's really, really awful in its viewpoint, plus it's just badly made. The point remains, art always has a viewpoint and agenda of some kind, sometimes one you don't agree with.It's hardly the end of comics or whatever, people are overreacting as always.
And as for the whole 'the stories are bad' because of the politics: Half the people bitching about 'SJW comics' just look at the scans and don't read the books. Sam Wilson as Cap has been fairly entertaining (plus pokes fun at far right and far left, remaining somewhat central as per Nick Spencer's politics). Mockingbird, which people moaned about as feminist propaganda, was really entertaining and funny.
And yeah, some things do come across as too preachy for people, which is fair enough to be put off by that, but again- hardly the end of the world. DC still has good stuff, Marvel still has good stuff, Image is the new Vertigo with how much quality stuff it's putting out, IDW is solid, and so on. There're always still good comics even if you don't agree with some of the selection on offer.
I'll leave it at that though, as PR said, not a debate thread.
Whatever.
No it's a big deal. Constantly stating that Conservatives are racist and are violent when it's liberals that are out there beating up Conservatives is downright insulting. It also plays into the narrative that Conservatives are racist and therefore are subhuman which means it's ok to abuse them. Gerry Conway on twitter stated that Trump supporters where cockroaches, and also wrote a Punisher annual story which was rubbish lecturing people on immigration.
Labeling Trump as a supervillain and a racist when Obama has done nothing for blacks in fact made things worse and his home town of Chicago has become a killing Zone. No, no,no, no. It's a very big deal.
Yea ok maybe start up another thread.
