Funny thing racism don't you think? it only ever applies to certain people who are always racist and wrong and the funnier thing SJW's are never racist wrong or rude wouldn't you say?
Remember in Teen Titans where Cyborg tells Starfire that he knows what it’s like to be discriminated against because he’s PART ROBOT and not black? It’s like black people are people or something
@@mumblerogre2455 IIRC, Cyborg's own VA, who is black, was really happy about that line because it meant him being black was normal. You still get some TT fans saying I was racist for not mentioning race because of course.
@@mumblerogre2455 Yeah. Cause another hero of the JLA was a fan of his. Ya know, Billy Batson? Captain Marvel? He was a fan of him from back when he was just a regular guy and just a football player.
@@mumblerogre2455 that’s one of the things that I love about that episode. Starfire and cyborg are the darkest characters on the show, so I’m glad the writers didn’t take the easy route and use their skin color as the reason why they were discriminated. It really shows that some people are assholes who dislike you for no reason.

"As someone who only got this job because of my skin color, let me explain to you why I'm oppressed because of my skin color." Contradictory logic at its finest.

Storm was my favorite superhero growing up as a white boy. She’s still my second favorite (Rogue edged her out over the years). I hate when people pretend there aren’t minority/female characters out there. It’s always a tell they’re not really fans at all.
And I'm always confused when people pretend you can only identify with characters that have the same gender and skin color as you, would racism still exist if people stopped looking at these things and went back to looking at who these people really are?
Oh hey remember that old JL cartoon where you have well written diverse cast of human, and alien from almost every race? Remember Vixen? No, me neither. Let’s make another Black character cause there aren’t any “black” character in comic book!
Dude, storm was my first marvel card that I collected as a kid and I wanted to be her because she could control the weather and that's awesome. Rogue is another favorite. However, for my top favorite characters in marvel.... its steve rogers and gambit. Because pretty men.
Aa more of an MCU fangirl, Okoye and Black Widow are my favorite women. Absolute badasses. As for men? Bucky, Loki, and Killmonger. _Mmmmm._ They're the lords of the Estrogen Brigade. I pretty much blame those three guys (Sebastian Stan especially) for the reason I have a thing for dark-haired metalhead guys. ...Also probably because I'm a metalhead myself.
@@cybervigilante i never said that when tf did i say that i said sounds like someone who wanted every white person to be blonde haired and blue eyed. Get your facts check before you start talking.
When I was nine years old I politely told an adult friend crying after she just had another drunken argument with her boy friend. Me, " You real should start doing what you .. think .. is best for you." Her, " You're right, I need to start .. thinking .. for myself. Dump my beer." Now days people are dealing with personal problems stronger than .. beer.
If they wanted to make the story less pandering, they could've made the main "villain" the son of a poor immigrant family. He wouldn't be necessarily racist, but he's struggling to make sense of why he's being targeted solely by his skin color. Even better, make him become an eventual love interest to Nubia where they both reconcile and reconsider their biases. These stories could be so much more creative, perhaps looking deeper into 𝘸𝘩𝘺 racial conflict occurs, instead of the usual "wo is me, I'm a middle class (insert minority status, disability, sexuality here) but I'm still going to whine about how oPpReSsEd I am".
that wouldn't be very realistic because black immigrants don't seem to have the same problems that blacks who's family have been in the us for a while do. In fact black immigrants are doing better than white people. Of course, no one would admit that because then folks might have to start realizing that it's not the color of your skin, but the choices you make that hold you back
That's like trying to say, literal heaven is much more pleasant that having your butt filled with spiders. Or like saying a billion is greater than one.
It would work great for a children’s series. Not trying to be mean, either! It would really work well with stories about working together and seeing past differences. Not Wonder Woman’s Sister that was kind of a one off character (if I remember correctly)
The fact that these people keep acting like there's never been any black superheroes for decades is just such a kick in the balls (loved the skyfire bit by the way😉)
Just for DC I named like 5. Black Lighting Kid Flash A Green Lantern Another green lantern I think a 3rd green lantern Cyborg I think there is like 3 more but can't name them off the top of my head

@@ahoramazda6864 Amazons (like Wonder Woman) are inspired by the Amazons of Greek Mythology. The Amazon river/rainforest was named like that because the conquerors found tribes of warrior women, so they named them after the greek myth.
So....Caucasian people, the police, and the “patriarchy” were the villains...while the hero is supposed to be a symbol of black female heroism? I can already see how J.J. Abrams’s rebooted Superman is gonna play out.
I don't mind a black Superman as long he is Calvin Ellis, the United States President of his reality. Mr Abrams, if you want a black Superman use this one, don't be an imbecile changing Clark Kent's skin.
"My money! Thief! Thief!" The person screaming this is a cashier at what's basically a 7/11. I doubt she even owns the franchise location, either, since she's apathetically slouched over the counter. Even if we pretend that she somehow considered the store's money to be 'her's,' Nubia didn't even grab the cash register. She grabbed an ATM. Does this writer know how money works? Or real jobs?
The ATM usually belongs to some individual that rented/bought/leased a few ATMs, they pay a bit to "rent" the store space, and make money off the transaction fees. It's a shame that the author never had the "white privilege" of working in convenience stores at minimum wage, or she'd have at least a _little_ bit of reality to draw from.
thats just show the writter don't know at all how a job like that works (or any job to be honest, I would be surprised if she ever worked a single day in her life other than some self righteous "artsy" job)
I watched another breakdown of this comic where they brought up "working backwards from the punchline". It seems obvious that the author knew how she wanted that scene to end (racist white cashier blames the black woman who just saved her) but didn't put any effort into logically getting us to that conclusion.
The art doesn't use green or orange. Everything is just pink and warm purple with small smatterings of pale blue and yellow. It makes every scene look the same no matter the tone.

Sonequa Martin-Green was once reported as saying she was the first black lead in Star Trek. Um, no. That would be Avery Brooks, more than twenty years before her. Brooks did a very fine job, and I don't think anyone gave a fuck that he was black.
This is something to admire about other cultures, Americans are the only ones that see race as an important part of someone's identity. Race is just a consequence of having a physical organic body, just like you can't have a cat that isn't at least some sort of mix of genetic variances.

Sokka wasn't the most combatively incline male character in ATLA but he was still useful. He still did fight and could hold his own (Katara saving him was always played for laughs). Sokka was great because he was the brains. He thought his way out of fights. He even sought out more training and became a really competent warrior and stragedist.
Sokka was a true warrior. Despite not having any bending he still fought tooth and nail along side his friends. He was most definitely the brains but in my mind his most defining characteristic was his bravery.
@@GMYSTERYICTNF Luckily LoK isn't canon at all. The Avatar is not just a dude channeling the power of a glowing carpet. Korra never killed all the past lives of the Avatar. The first Avatar wasn't an asshole... And there will sadly never ever be any more Avatar content ever. Nope. If those hypothetical Avatar studios existed, it would only be with Aaron Ehasz, the head writer of the only avatar series that exists, in charge of the story.
The reason these people have never seen diversity is because they refuse to look at/for it. My mother raised us on shows with characters from different races/ ethnicities and all walks of life and to see these people act like they didn’t exist is just.... wow. They will always complain about something just to reach their goal of placing a wedge between everyone.
I applaud him for actually buying/reading and reviewing these compared to the other critics that just upload knee-jerk surface-level criticism vids on just the cover itself and call it a day.
This comic is just bad. Ngl this reminded me the interview with smauel l Jackson talking about quintan tarantino and how he doesn't consider him racist because he writes all Sam's characters as clever guys who knows what's up whilst all the woke people can't write a good black male character to save their lives.
@@Ahabite Sam Jackson had his stint in the Black Nationalist movement back in the 60s, but he realized that they were just as bad as the Southern Dems and racists hurting his community. He's still a progressive, but yeah, he's not down with woke from what I've seen.
I like to re-imagine these racist fantasies as being the delusions of the protagonist(s). The fun is in guessing what's really happening behind the veil of insanity.
You just make this story better, in fact, if this guys follow that argument you said... it will be awesome. Villains who believe that they are doing good things are pretty scary and complex. Now I have some ideas to write a short story with that perspective and this political garbage. Gracias por la inspiración.
I grew up with Cyberborg in the Teen Titans tv series as the black guy of the group..this was a time when this woke BS isn't a thing yet but the Titans were diverse in the strongest sense of the word : Beast boy is a meta human and Robin is purely human, Cyborg is well a black Cyborg..Starfire is a Tamaranian Alien and Raven is human/demon hybrid. But it was never focused about "diversity" per se but they actually put compelling motivations and background stories for each of them. They are actually good well written characters who happen to be diverse
Funny story- I didn't know much about the Titans or the DC Universe when I watched the Teen Titans show, so I assumed that since Robin was Batman's sidekick, that everyone ELSE was some sort of teen sidekick. So I wondered "is there a Beast MAN or something in this universe that I haven't seen yet?" I know now that isn't the case, but "Cyberborg" reminded me of that brief bit of theorizing from my childhood- sounds like a name I woulda come up with for Cyborg's mentor.
@@MrGrimjaw honestly idk. Maybe in another 10-20 years when they realize that the country got overthrown or that nobody wants to be friends with them for the choices.
Actually Nubia has been around far longer than this comic, a few decades I think. She was sculpted from the same clay as Diana but was kidnapped by Ares as a young girl and made to train to defeat Diana in the future, though in the end they both end up teaming up and defeating Ares together. In the Infinite Frontier Nubia takes Diana’s place as Wonder Woman and the new queen of Themyscira(however you spell that) after Diana ascends into godhood. Both of those variants of Nubia were strong, confident, and beautiful young women who could hold their own in a fight, this Nubia was dumbed down into an awkward and scared teenage victim who’s a pale mockery.
Same. Maryland has an incredibly diverse population, especially for such a small state. Whoever wrote that line has clearly never been to Maryland or visited any of its suburbs.
They either are afraid of the angry black man stereotype or just plain alergic to muscles because all the men in that comic look like girls first women look like men in these comics and now this
One of just some guys friends explained. There seems to be an attack on black men. So maybe they are afraid of them and thus are making them more bullshit.
I don’t think they care about stereotypes, watch any show/movie with 100% cast and you’ll quickly notice women are usually the ones saving the men or being “the boss”
He doesn't even dress well enough to be considered a femboy not just that but the man bun oh lordy help this comic. Why didn't they just made him dress as a eboy instead.
As a former Marylander from the suburbs, this is just insulting. These characters aren't representative of me or my friends at all, and I grew up in this setting - minus super powers. Edit, addition; 16:20 Our favorite femboy is depicted as being a "knight in shining armor" which is a distinctly European image, with most depictions basing the chosen armor as renaissance Italian harnesses. Now, I like people having any fantasy they want and European armor is worthy of admiration. But, for the same crowd that cries about evil white people and cultural appropriation, I find this rather backwards.

Do the Superman thing. Come up with some reason that she gets orphaned and dropped behind a dumpster in B-more. Have a poor black single mom find her and adopt her.

I have nothing against racial representation in comics. I think Miles Morales is an incredible addition to the spiderman mythos. He is a genuinely cool character who is spiderman all over. I think he is perfect for taking the mantle from Peter Parker. This is so cringey in comparison and should be an example of of how not to handle these topics.
Miles Morales is a great character this book is just makes me so disappointed. Like I could relate to Miles Morales and he was very awesome this character just... no.
"I never thought people who looked like me got chances to do THOSE things" Use Google and search for these black superheros, while you're at it, BUY THE FUCKIN COMICS
Heck, even if you stuck just to the television shows and movies, Static Shock was a thing, Justice League/Justice League Unlimited was a thing, Blade was a thing, and 90s X-Men was a thing.

@@flarestorm9417 preaching to the choir on this subject. It gives off the impression that these people either: A. Didnt try hard enough to look for it B.

@Ecard Ecardian Neadertals aren't really a problem for the whole "Homonids originated in Africa" theory. Assuming that is true they would be a result of speciation originating from a common ancestor. Evolution isn't a streight line, it's a tree made up of mostly dead branches.
@Ecard Ecardian Afraid not in order for Neandertals and Homo sapiens to produce fertile offspring they need to share a relatively recent common anscestor. Otherwise you end up with an infetile hybrid or nothing at all.
@Ecard Ecardian Both have originate from the same species . Their differences are a result of environmental adaptation. Say we have group A. Half of Group A stays in the same place and the other migrates elsewhere. Over time these two groups become groups B(Neandertals) and C(Homo Sapiens) as a result of natural selection..
We've sadly reach this point where you can pretty much make an entire story based on Straw Men and hacks will "dare" to declare you the "greatest writer of Our Generation EVAR!" I know people make strawmen/women on occasion (many "VERY" bad writers) intheir stories. But never something that was completely all about them! It's just another addition to this joke we call life where mediocrity there's to be compared to meritocracy! I'm remind the Futurama because they got one thing wrong everyone believe the 90s and early 2000 was the stupid ages! When sadly it's has 2010 when you really really start seeing the stupid ages becoming incredibly noticeable! This is how it's going to be remembered in history and it's funny watching these smug morons acting as though they're going to be remembered in a good way but then I guess that's the fun of the Despair the greatest and sweetest part of the despair is when you fully believe everything is going to plan and ignoring that no no it's not and that moment when you finally realize everything was the bus everything was a failure everything was pointless yeah I'm reminded of that part in The Simpsons episode when Lisa accidentally made Ralph think that she was interested in him and pretty much make clear she was not on television fart was showing her the exact part when Ralph's heart was broken constantly reversing and showing in slow-mo. That's going to be the look on their faces when they finally realized if they're even remembered past being a footnote and inconsequential they're not even going to reach infamy compared to the ones who got them into those positions they were very under-qualified for in the first place... That's if they're not incredibly inconsequential that you know the one who got them into that position was just as inconsequential as they are! Basically between a germ and an ant why would I care more about the germ more than the ant?
"Obviously every Amazon is a lesbian" I mean...that was kind of established a few decades ago in Wonder Woman...on account of them literally spending a thousand years or so without any men around. It's like prison...where everyone is buff and sexy as hell. You get a little gay.
"You're special, Nubia. Not just because of your powers but because of who you are. Because of who came before you." Er...no one came before her, its revealed that she was made from clay like Diana so she actually doesn't have any heritage or ancestry from black people so her origin actually invalidates this line. She was a clay daughter than Ares just decided to steal and do nothing else with and every one of the Amazons abandoned her, then when Wonder Woman finds her, they don't let her back because she 'left' so she doesn't get to return home despite being stolen as a baby. Wonder Woman doesn't raise her, even though she is her sister, literal family and has the same powers so even Wonder Woman dumps her ass and just gives her to another Amazon to raise who does a shit job because Nubia is irresponsible with her powers, killed people and almost killed people by throwing heavy objects and constantly reveals her powers forcing her parents to move. Like, there is nothing to be proud of here, she gets forgotten and thrown away by her actual people and all her friends and family do nothing to protect her from racist cops and school bullies, not even her boyfriend. How is this a happy ending exactly?
@@Steven9567 Yep and also the mother is white and Diana is white so why just have one daughter that is a different race? It's not a bad thing but was there any particular reason she didn't make her like herself or her sister? They could have easily said she was made in the image of one of WW's mom's best friends who died and we'd have a cool and sad origin but as it is now, it just seems random.
"Whatever choice you make, it the right one" holy shit, the amount of self-righteous. They really believe they can't do evil. If they shot a 5yo right in his face, it is somehow an act of justice because something something "I am oppressed minority"
While some choices will be gray no matter what, some choices are right and others are wrong. Running from the scene of a crime is wrong. Hiding when other people’s lives are in danger, especially when you are more capable than the person putting lives in danger, be it through training or powers, is wrong.
reminds of that time 2 years ago when some black druggie executed a 5 yo white boy on his lawn and sjw's on twitter were demanding justice for the druggie, calling him a "political prisoner" and at the same time mocking the dead boy for his name.
You're finally starting to get it, and I don't say this in a mean way. These "people" actually really do truly believe that their ideology and by extension them, are absolutely NEVER wrong at any level, and if anyone doesn't agree with them, that person is a racist fit to be tarred and feathered and chased out of all levels of public life, and even just killed outright. They are seriously really actually insane, and they will NEVER stop, until YOU stop them, by not giving them money, help, or votes. They would prefer you to believe you can't stop them, but they are wrong.
It's really sad to see no-talent people get this chance that may talented people can't. As a writer, this book pains me to read the few scenes on screen. And is this the final art for the book? All the characters look like storyboard figures.
Just write your story forget this mainstream nonsense. When I finish my first book I'm gonna publish it myself as an indie author it would kill me to see a publisher ruin my story with nonsense like this just because I'm black. Its painful I like Nubia and these old black Superheros like Static but now these characters are being ruined in the name of politics and wokeness its a huge shame.
Same. While its disheartening, but it makes me more convinced that we need more sincere writers creating stories to connect on emotional and intellectual levels. I think (hope) the indie scene is going to get boom from people looking for engaging stories.
On the plus side, these people are setting the bar so low that, when someone with genuine talent and passion DOES come along ,it will be a breath of fresh air and probably a significant success for the creators who actually care
"Once, long ago, i lost someone i cared about very much because of my carelesness. So now i swear to never miss ever again" But nah, self-congratulatory self-insert strawman power-fantasy it is.

At the end.... Everyone already knew that Wayland was the shooter. How does recording him monologuing change the situation at all? Were they going to let him off for just being a school shooter, but once he was a school shooter *AND* he was trying correctly report a girl for assaulting police officers, that was the final straw? Does the writer not realize that school shooters typically either commit suicide or suicide by cop at the end of their sprees?
I don't think this person understands why people would shoot up a school at all, and just assumed that since it's a pretty evil thing to do, it'd be the best way of making her villain look as evil as possible without thinking about real world reasons why people actually shoot up a school and the outcome of it besides the obvious tragic loss of life. (Also probably to shoehorn in a subtle message about gun control) And I'll admit, I'm no expert either, so I could be wrong, but I think most school shooters are lonely, depressed and nihilistic individuals, rather than pompous, psychopathic rich boys. They have a lot more to lose. Even if they are psychotic, they wouldn't sacrifice everything they live for to shoot up a school. They have money, status, and probably other things, why would they throw all of that away to commit a very obvious crime they likely won't survive from?
It’s not exactly a common thing to see school shooters (most school shootings are suicides or accidental discharges), but for the most part they are lonely doom-and-gloomers who have no outlet and severe mental disorders that have gone undiagnosed. Whether it’s a lack of friends, disengaged parents, hyper-controlling parents, or just a “snap” moment in their mental stability, they tend to be isolated social outcasts. NOT the guy that EVERYONE at school likes.
@@leirawhitehart1236 For example the parkland shooter did it because he was bullied, i believe since middle school all the way to high school, and it ended with him releasing his frustration and anger onto innocent people. the person who wrote this shit, lives in a bubble a very isolated bubble and doesnt even understand reality.
Dwayne McDuffie may be dead, but I will never, ever forgive him for ruining all the black characters he got his hands on. He made Black Panther a Mary Sue, turned Wakanda into Coruscant and made Ororo T'Challa's childhood friend and romantic partner just so he could get his "power couple". Every single damn time. Black Panther post-McDuffie is one of the WORST characters Marvel had to offer, ever. Even worse than War World Doom and almost as bad as Carol Danvers.

As a little girl I used to watch the X-Men cartoon when it aired on Jetix. I'm not American and back then I had no idea about what race really meant. I just knew Storm was from Africa and that's it. I adored her, not because she was black or a woman, but because she was an awesome character. She had the coolest powers, I loved how her eyes lit up whenever she was using them, I loved how she got shit done. She reminded me of my mom.
7:50 She literally dwarfs the cop in comparison. Also, I tried making a quick sketch of the scene and found more mistakes than anything. Her hair virtually has no shape, her stance is a lot more defined than the cops which isn't saying much, The only attention to detail on the cop is his uniform and to top it all off, the cop looks more like a femboy cuffing her despite having the stereotypical p*** stache. *HOW DOES THIS EVEN WORK!?!?*
I actually see nothing wrong with how the men are portrayed, I don't see a problem with them looking stereotypically feminine, I actually feel like we need to break down these stereotypes. Now, if them being dressed that way was to insinuate the idea that they were queer, then that's one thing. I feel like it's actually good that we stop assigning clothing items and personalities to gender, because your genders are genitalia, not your interests or personality. What I do have a problem with, is again, how much race is talked about here. I honesty goodness believe that the most woke media you will find these days are actually Japanese media, I mean think about it, there were gentle soft males in anime ever since it's existed, lesbian couples for decades, men with emotions for even more decades, and even gender dysphoria being talked about, not to mention sexism and racism and political issues. The difference is, there's really no money incentive for talking about these things in anime, while in Western media, there's always been the money incentive of trying to get the woke young people to watch or read
@@otakumangastudios3617 No, there definitely is a problem if the men are drawn stereotypically feminine. There's no actual reason for how they dress, their clothes don't even match their beliefs since apparently the white boys are meant to be the culmination of evil, so they're defaulted to every phobia there is. Even if you say that clothes don't have to be the definitive of beliefs, it's still a reflection. Take Dick Grayson, it looks like he isn't wearing pants but he's wearing a leotard since he used to live in a circus, and leotards were very often used in athletic acts. Take Miles Morales and Gwen from the Spiderverse, their casual clothing consists of what people often wear; Plain jackets and shirts that make _them_ comfortable. Would Miles feel comfortable wearing an off-shoulder shirt or summer themed button shirt everyday to school? Probably not, because that's neither convenient or comfortable for him. It's literally due to the fact that the characters in this story don't have a sturdy personality and characterization that the clothes they wear don't even match the apparent person, they're just what they are, caricatures to be used. Another pet peeve I have about this is the coloring too, everything is in a purple, pink and blue hue as if every character doesn't have a color scheme that matches their personality. Batman and Robin have two definitive color schemes that reflect their beliefs and personality, and as Robin grows, his outfit changes to fit his style too. So even as simple things as lighting, coloring and dress styles are one of the simplest things that reflect a character. All I'm saying is that; If what your character wears is nothing more than just 'breaking the stereotypes', then that isn't a good look on your story. Even I as an amateur artist imagine myself in my own characters' shoes, antagonist or not, on what they'd feel comfortable in when I'm designing their characters.
@@Пинагод look I see what you mean, see what you're saying, but I personally don't see anything wrong with a dude wearing stereotypically effeminine clothing. I don't think that reflects badly on the character, now granted, I personally wouldn't draw a male character that way, just because I am by no means a fan of feminine clothing. I'll celebrate my friends wearing it, regardless of their gender, but I personally isn't too Keen of drawing characters whether male or female, with stereotypically effeminate clothing. The style you described, I hate that kind of clothing, both on a man or a woman. I generally speaking with dress either one in simply jeans or pants and a plain t-shirt, basically just very simple clothing. I do feel like we should diversify what we define as masculine though, because we've had toxic masculinity infiltrating the image of masculinity for a long time, basically big buff macho guy who wouldn't let himself shed a tear and definitely isn't into fashion. I'm not the person going to break those stray types and specifically that way, I would in terms of the character writing itself, for example I have a male character that acts truly human, thank in a way like shinji does, but a grown man and probably less traumatized. Basically, I'm aware that there's this kind of representation in anime, which is by the way why I think it's the most progressive media on the market these days, regardless of what they say, because they nonchalantly do representation and don't make a big deal out of it. There's actually a great anime vtuber who talks about this, her name is natalie x Hunter. Personally I think the most important thing that at least for American audiences we need to break barriers for in terms of breaking down toxic masculinity, is not necessarily just showing that they can wear anything they want and have a gentle temperament and that doesn't make them masculinity bad or make it lesser or make them lesser of a man, but I just want to see truly human male characters who have a full spectrum of emotions By the way I totally see what you're talking about being in your character's shoes, that's a very important thing. I absolutely agree with you, there was really little to no effort in this comic book, political stances should not take priority over a good story, I absolutely agree. You can still have a political message though, and many anime and manga are proof of that. For example, the original Gundam series? Confronts issues like war and conflict and divisiveness, even racism, classism too, and it all puts it all into question, and makes you really ask, why do we have war? The difference here is, most anime makes you think with their political messages, because it's inadvertent and it's not in your face like some sort of children's PSA. I don't think it's a bad thing to break stereotypes for the story, but don't make that, like your political message, the only aspect to your story. That's like you go on a dating app, and all that's emphasized about a potential match, is that she's a strong powerful woman when you look into hobbies and interests that she has. All she typed in there was that she's a strong and independent woman, but you want to know more about her, so then you message her and ask if there's anything more to her than that, and then she gets offended. That's kind of what basically writing a story only to get a political message across does, because then the person has no sense of artfulness with it, they've just think if they make the whole plots around a psa, they'll draw the attention of viewers everywhere, which of course isn't true No I do not want anime to ever be produced by americans, but maybe they should take some inspiration not just from the art style, but the story writing style. Political issues are addressed head-on but not in a patronizing PSA style like this comic book does. Another great example of an anime / manga that confronts issues head on, is the series battle angel alita, which basically takes your stereotypical 1950s sci-fi Utopia and then turns it on its head, making you think, well, how would potentially utopian society floating in the sky actually operate? Because in reality, they would probably be a lot of dark secrets behind it, and that's what the manga discusses at length. You see the everyday lives of many people who are emotionally suffering with their financial and social stances, since people are strongly divided into the salamence and people of the supposed factory, and they're not even seen as human by the system, there's not even a police system, because of anybody commits a crime, it's an immediate death sentence where a bounty hunter takes their head and brings it to the authorities. This is how you write a political story, since it's encoded in an imaginary world and circumstance, it gets to people's heads better, and make them think instead of having information talked to them if you know what I mean About the colors, I see what you mean for sure, but I personally don't see anything wrong with the art style no coloring itself, it's just a bit distasteful for a Wonder woman comic. If it's going to be some slice of Life comic book or graphic novel even that is about a teenage girl discovering her true sexuality, you know I wouldn't have a problem with that. I have a problem with it being used for superhero comics though, it just does not fit the vibe as you pointed out. To me, it's like if Gundam or something was animated in a moe style, and all of the adult characters looking like little chibi babies. That style is totally fine and looks fine too, but not for the genre it's being used for. Or how about chainsaw man? Could you imagine that made with a bunch of chibi characters? Or how about neon Genesis evangelion?
@@otakumangastudios3617 Why is being a stoic and buff man who isn't into fashion a toxic masculinity trait? If someone doesn't want to shed a tear then why should you force them to do so? Similarly forcing a woman to stop crying when crying is a good way to relieve stress and trauma, and it's none of your business in the first place to stop someone from crying, or even make someone cry. It's stereotypes, but that absolutely isn't either toxic masculinity and femininity, this is just natural traits that come along certain humans. And not being interested in fashion - I'm not interested in fashion, and if that's part of a toxic masculinity trait then a very large group of men and even women would have said trait. Plus, you're implying that buffness is a masculinity trait, or that stoicism, buffness and disinterest in fashion is toxic. I know women who have these traits, are they toxic? I know women who are stoic, are they masculine? No, those are not definitive terms that separates what's masculine and feminine, or positive and toxic. Look, even if you think it's good to break stereotypes, you also have to be realistic. On average, how much men do actually care for fashion and put extra effort into what they wear? Especially students for that matter, as far as I remember, _every_ guy in my class often wore jackets/hoodies for the entire semesters, and wore very plain shirts with either jogging pants and basketball shorts. I'm also not going to lie as a woman, women _do_ tend to care more about fashion than men, and that's fine, there's even a connection with it to art and not just beauty. Yet sure, you can add a select few of those that fall out of the majority, but in this entire comic where every character looks bisexual, it just falls flat and very unrelatable to the average. Even I'm bisexual, yet I absolutely can not even relate to the simplest of clothing choices. And even if I agree that political opinions are fine to integrate, it should make moral sense to a point that it isn't left or right, it's centrist. That's what most great anime's do, criticizing the far right or left in a manner that highlights the wrong in it without wronging the political lining. Actually you know what? You don't even have to be a centrist to point out the morally wrong, you can be a leftist and know that this far-left comic series is gobshite. And yes, this _is_ a superhero comic, not a comic about political opinions or gender identity. And I agree, the color schemes are very related to the bisexual flag so that would be a clever input about a comic about gender identity, but it isn't a comic about gender identity. This also just proves that the comic is even lazier in terms of ideas, it doesn't utilize the fact that there are super problems and super heroes.
I am about 4 years older than the writer. It's really a shame Milestone didn't happen when we were teenagers. It's such a shame Luke cage wasn't headlining his solo CAGE series at the time, it's a shame NightThrasher didn't have a solo title while also being the leader of team in their own book. It's such a shame John Stewart wasn't Earth's Green Lantern in the late 80s/early-90s. It's a shame Spawn didn't come out to massive acclaim in the 90s, even getting his own film in the late 90s starring Michale Jai White. SMH.
It occurs to me the reason why these people can't sell stories. Their logic is so twisted and unrealistic that they can't write stories that make sense which turns off the customer. The editor was probably also replaced by immature and inexperienced staff so that's how a comic like this is released.
There's this awful tabletop RPG called "Racial holy war", or RaHoWa in short. It was made by unhinged white supremacists. It's absolutely awful. Not "so bad it's a great parody"... It's boring, broken, it's full of edgy unfunny racial stereotypes... and it's literally unplayable (there is no way to tell whether your dice rolls are successful or not. It's _that_ bad). Was it a commercial success? No. Was there _anyone_ interested in playing it? NO. Not even their "target audience". Was it at the very least a thought provoking political message? FUCK NO. Then why the fuck was it made?? One simple reason: Propaganda. Doesn't matter the quality of what they do, or whether they get money or not... The only thing that matters is spreading their poison and showing their equally deranged peers how they are "helping the cause"... And I think it's better that way... Because unsuspecting people would avoid the propaganda because it's terrible. Not because they disagree with it... Imagine that they started making _good quality_ propaganda... God fucking help us...
Instead of the paper bag test, I suggest an aural test. She go into the Bronx or southside Chicago, and loudly drop a couple of the ol' "hard-Rs" in a crowd. If they seem to take some kind of offense to it, clearly, she ain't black. And I bet some would, 'cause she white.
How come Yoruichi from Bleach, Mirko from My Hero Academia, and even Elena and/or C. Viper from Street Fighter are better written than these modern american heroines? It's almost like Japan hire writers and artists/designers who are not obsessed with race or subjective victimization
Tbh, minimal poc characters in a story is better, why? Because the character would be very special that way because mostly poc on anime are either epitomes of badassery and mystery. For example yoruichi from bleach, jirocho from gintama, cecile from magi love 2000%, sharkkan and armakkan from magi, aomine, chocolove from shaman king, chad from bleach,scar from fma, killer bee and his proteges and some I cant list, It actually makes them cooler and very unique without them forcing their character down your throat.
@@megamanbrandon Yeah. DC Ares is(i would argue uncharacteristically) a massive schemer. He wants complete and utter chaos, and will do whatever it takes to achieve that. And you're telling me that he stole a baby Amazon, some of the greatest natural warriors on earth, and just...... Left her in one of his strongholds for 50 years
I’m sure there are plentiful great black writers that are women, but this one in particular was just pretty… bitter. And distasteful. When I first heard about the school shooting scene, I immediately dreaded it because that’s such a serious and horrible thing and with how the story was represented the whole time, you could just tell that it was going to be used to make a point rather than actually demonstrate the serious sort of traumatic experience it is, the implications of what it means about school services for students, etc. No… No, you could tell that it was just gonna be used to demonize a kid or make Nubia out to be amazing (or in this case: both). No respect for the horror of that kind of situation though. At least not that I could tell-and I think if that intent didn’t get across from the author, it probably wasn’t there. This story just really comes across as kind of insensitive and ignorant of some things. Some things that are pretty VITAL to know as a writer.

Storm was my favorite superhero growing up as a white boy. She’s still my second favorite (Rogue edged her out over the years). I hate when people pretend there aren’t minority/female characters out there. It’s always a tell they’re not really fans at all.
And I'm always confused when people pretend you can only identify with characters that have the same gender and skin color as you, would racism still exist if people stopped looking at these things and went back to looking at who these people really are?

If they wanted to make the story less pandering, they could've made the main "villain" the son of a poor immigrant family. He wouldn't be necessarily racist, but he's struggling to make sense of why he's being targeted solely by his skin color. Even better, make him become an eventual love interest to Nubia where they both reconcile and reconsider their biases. These stories could be so much more creative, perhaps looking deeper into 𝘸𝘩𝘺 racial conflict occurs, instead of the usual "wo is me, I'm a middle class (insert minority status, disability, sexuality here) but I'm still going to whine about how oPpReSsEd I am".
that wouldn't be very realistic because black immigrants don't seem to have the same problems that blacks who's family have been in the us for a while do. In fact black immigrants are doing better than white people.

"My money! Thief! Thief!"
The person screaming this is a cashier at what's basically a 7/11. I doubt she even owns the franchise location, either, since she's apathetically slouched over the counter. Even if we pretend that she somehow considered the store's money to be 'her's,' Nubia didn't even grab the cash register. She grabbed an ATM. Does this writer know how money works? Or real jobs?
The ATM usually belongs to some individual that rented/bought/leased a few ATMs, they pay a bit to "rent" the store space, and make money off the transaction fees. It's a shame that the author never had the "white privilege" of working in convenience stores at minimum wage, or she'd have at least a _little_ bit of reality to draw from.
She got the fuck off employee on point though.
thats just show the writter don't know at all how a job like that works (or any job to be honest, I would be surprised if she ever worked a single day in her life other than some self righteous "artsy" job)
I watched another breakdown of this comic where they brought up "working backwards from the punchline". It seems obvious that the author knew how she wanted that scene to end (racist white cashier blames the black woman who just saved her) but didn't put any effort into logically getting us to that conclusion.
And she says that instead of asking how can a teenage girl rip out an ATM and throw it?
The art doesn't use green or orange. Everything is just pink and warm purple with small smatterings of pale blue and yellow. It makes every scene look the same no matter the tone.

Sokka wasn't the most combatively incline male character in ATLA but he was still useful. He still did fight and could hold his own (Katara saving him was always played for laughs). Sokka was great because he was the brains. He thought his way out of fights. He even sought out more training and became a really competent warrior and stragedist.
Sokka is a GOAT
Still salty at LOK for killing him
@@GMYSTERYICTNF At least Sokka appeared in a flashback. Suki didn’t even get that much.
Sokka was a true warrior. Despite not having any bending he still fought tooth and nail along side his friends. He was most definitely the brains but in my mind his most defining characteristic was his bravery.

Nope. If those hypothetical Avatar studios existed, it would only be with Aaron Ehasz, the head writer of the only avatar series that exists, in charge of the story.
The reason these people have never seen diversity is because they refuse to look at/for it.

I grew up with Cyberborg in the Teen Titans tv series as the black guy of the group..this was a time when this woke BS isn't a thing yet but the Titans were diverse in the strongest sense of the word : Beast boy is a meta human and Robin is purely human, Cyborg is well a black Cyborg..Starfire is a Tamaranian Alien and Raven is human/demon hybrid. But it was never focused about "diversity" per se but they actually put compelling motivations and background stories for each of them. They are actually good well written characters who happen to be diverse
Correction : It's Cyborg, not "Cyberborg"
@@curious5887 you just have to be that guy do you? it's clearly a typo
Funny story- I didn't know much about the Titans or the DC Universe when I watched the Teen Titans show, so I assumed that since Robin was Batman's sidekick, that everyone ELSE was some sort of teen sidekick. So I wondered "is there a Beast MAN or something in this universe that I haven't seen yet?"
I know now that isn't the case, but "Cyberborg" reminded me of that brief bit of theorizing from my childhood- sounds like a name I woulda come up with for Cyborg's mentor.
In the og teen titans show , they do tackle racism but do it as a lesson and not do it to shove it down your throat

"nubia is wonder woman's twin sister"
if i had a week i couldn't list half the fucking problems with that.
Actually Nubia has been around far longer than this comic, a few decades I think. She was sculpted from the same clay as Diana but was kidnapped by Ares as a young girl and made to train to defeat Diana in the future, though in the end they both end up teaming up and defeating Ares together. In the Infinite Frontier Nubia takes Diana’s place as Wonder Woman and the new queen of Themyscira(however you spell that) after Diana ascends into godhood. Both of those variants of Nubia were strong, confident, and beautiful young women who could hold their own in a fight, this Nubia was dumbed down into an awkward and scared teenage victim who’s a pale mockery.

They either are afraid of the angry black man stereotype or just plain alergic to muscles because all the men in that comic look like girls first women look like men in these comics and now this
One of just some guys friends explained. There seems to be an attack on black men. So maybe they are afraid of them and thus are making them more bullshit.
I don’t think they care about stereotypes, watch any show/movie with 100% cast and you’ll quickly notice women are usually the ones saving the men or being “the boss”
Yes, they don’t want to feed the strong black man stereotype. So all black men end up looking like lesbians
He doesn't even dress well enough to be considered a femboy not just that but the man bun oh lordy help this comic. Why didn't they just made him dress as a eboy instead.
In current ideology, pretty much all black men are emasculated and all black women are lesbians.

As a former Marylander from the suburbs, this is just insulting. These characters aren't representative of me or my friends at all, and I grew up in this setting - minus super powers.

Our favorite femboy is depicted as being a "knight in shining armor" which is a distinctly European image, with most depictions basing the chosen armor as renaissance Italian harnesses. Now, I like people having any fantasy they want and European armor is worthy of admiration. But, for the same crowd that cries about evil white people and cultural appropriation, I find this rather backwards.

"Life began in Africa"
Excuse me the formless primordial soup would like a word. This comic book is doing our Archean bros dirty.
@Ecard Ecardian Neadertals aren't really a problem for the whole "Homonids originated in Africa" theory. Assuming that is true they would be a result of speciation originating from a common ancestor. Evolution isn't a streight line, it's a tree made up of mostly dead branches.
@Ecard Ecardian Afraid not in order for Neandertals and Homo sapiens to produce fertile offspring they need to share a relatively recent common anscestor. Otherwise you end up with an infetile hybrid or nothing at all.
@Ecard Ecardian Both have originate from the same species . Their differences are a result of environmental adaptation. Say we have group A. Half of Group A stays in the same place and the other migrates elsewhere. Over time these two groups become groups B(Neandertals) and C(Homo Sapiens) as a result of natural selection..
So basically, this is "Strawman"... the comic book.
We've sadly reach this point where you can pretty much make an entire story based on Straw Men and hacks will "dare" to declare you the "greatest writer of Our Generation EVAR!"
I know people make strawmen/women on occasion (many "VERY" bad writers) intheir stories. But never something that was completely all about them!
It's just another addition to this joke we call life where mediocrity there's to be compared to meritocracy! I'm remind the Futurama because they got one thing wrong everyone believe the 90s and early 2000 was the stupid ages! When sadly it's has 2010 when you really really start seeing the stupid ages becoming incredibly noticeable! This is how it's going to be remembered in history and it's funny watching these smug morons acting as though they're going to be remembered in a good way but then I guess that's the fun of the Despair the greatest and sweetest part of the despair is when you fully believe everything is going to plan and ignoring that no no it's not and that moment when you finally realize everything was the bus everything was a failure everything was pointless yeah I'm reminded of that part in The Simpsons episode when Lisa accidentally made Ralph think that she was interested in him and pretty much make clear she was not on television fart was showing her the exact part when Ralph's heart was broken constantly reversing and showing in slow-mo. That's going to be the look on their faces when they finally realized if they're even remembered past being a footnote and inconsequential they're not even going to reach infamy compared to the ones who got them into those positions they were very under-qualified for in the first place... That's if they're not incredibly inconsequential that you know the one who got them into that position was just as inconsequential as they are!

She was a clay daughter than Ares just decided to steal and do nothing else with and every one of the Amazons abandoned her, then when Wonder Woman finds her, they don't let her back because she 'left' so she doesn't get to return home despite being stolen as a baby. Wonder Woman doesn't raise her, even though she is her sister, literal family and has the same powers so even Wonder Woman dumps her ass and just gives her to another Amazon to raise who does a shit job because Nubia is irresponsible with her powers, killed people and almost killed people by throwing heavy objects and constantly reveals her powers forcing her parents to move. Like, there is nothing to be proud of here, she gets forgotten and thrown away by her actual people and all her friends and family do nothing to protect her from racist cops and school bullies, not even her boyfriend.

At the end.... Everyone already knew that Wayland was the shooter. How does recording him monologuing change the situation at all? Were they going to let him off for just being a school shooter, but once he was a school shooter *AND* he was trying correctly report a girl for assaulting police officers, that was the final straw?
Does the writer not realize that school shooters typically either commit suicide or suicide by cop at the end of their sprees?
I don't think this person understands why people would shoot up a school at all, and just assumed that since it's a pretty evil thing to do, it'd be the best way of making her villain look as evil as possible without thinking about real world reasons why people actually shoot up a school and the outcome of it besides the obvious tragic loss of life. (Also probably to shoehorn in a subtle message about gun control)
And I'll admit, I'm no expert either, so I could be wrong, but I think most school shooters are lonely, depressed and nihilistic individuals, rather than pompous, psychopathic rich boys. They have a lot more to lose. Even if they are psychotic, they wouldn't sacrifice everything they live for to shoot up a school. They have money, status, and probably other things, why would they throw all of that away to commit a very obvious crime they likely won't survive from?
It’s not exactly a common thing to see school shooters (most school shootings are suicides or accidental discharges), but for the most part they are lonely doom-and-gloomers who have no outlet and severe mental disorders that have gone undiagnosed. Whether it’s a lack of friends, disengaged parents, hyper-controlling parents, or just a “snap” moment in their mental stability, they tend to be isolated social outcasts. NOT the guy that EVERYONE at school likes.

7:50 She literally dwarfs the cop in comparison. Also, I tried making a quick sketch of the scene and found more mistakes than anything. Her hair virtually has no shape, her stance is a lot more defined than the cops which isn't saying much, The only attention to detail on the cop is his uniform and to top it all off, the cop looks more like a femboy cuffing her despite having the stereotypical p*** stache.

I actually see nothing wrong with how the men are portrayed, I don't see a problem with them looking stereotypically feminine, I actually feel like we need to break down these stereotypes. Now, if them being dressed that way was to insinuate the idea that they were queer, then that's one thing. I feel like it's actually good that we stop assigning clothing items and personalities to gender, because your genders are genitalia, not your interests or personality. What I do have a problem with, is again, how much race is talked about here. I honesty goodness believe that the most woke media you will find these days are actually Japanese media, I mean think about it, there were gentle soft males in anime ever since it's existed, lesbian couples for decades, men with emotions for even more decades, and even gender dysphoria being talked about, not to mention sexism and racism and political issues. The difference is, there's really no money incentive for talking about these things in anime, while in Western media, there's always been the money incentive of trying to get the woke young people to watch or read
@@otakumangastudios3617 No, there definitely is a problem if the men are drawn stereotypically feminine. There's no actual reason for how they dress, their clothes don't even match their beliefs since apparently the white boys are meant to be the culmination of evil, so they're defaulted to every phobia there is. Even if you say that clothes don't have to be the definitive of beliefs, it's still a reflection. Take Dick Grayson, it looks like he isn't wearing pants but he's wearing a leotard since he used to live in a circus, and leotards were very often used in athletic acts. Take Miles Morales and Gwen from the Spiderverse, their casual clothing consists of what people often wear; Plain jackets and shirts that make _them_ comfortable. Would Miles feel comfortable wearing an off-shoulder shirt or summer themed button shirt everyday to school? Probably not, because that's neither convenient or comfortable for him. It's literally due to the fact that the characters in this story don't have a sturdy personality and characterization that the clothes they wear don't even match the apparent person, they're just what they are, caricatures to be used.
Another pet peeve I have about this is the coloring too, everything is in a purple, pink and blue hue as if every character doesn't have a color scheme that matches their personality. Batman and Robin have two definitive color schemes that reflect their beliefs and personality, and as Robin grows, his outfit changes to fit his style too. So even as simple things as lighting, coloring and dress styles are one of the simplest things that reflect a character.
All I'm saying is that; If what your character wears is nothing more than just 'breaking the stereotypes', then that isn't a good look on your story. Even I as an amateur artist imagine myself in my own characters' shoes, antagonist or not, on what they'd feel comfortable in when I'm designing their characters.
@@Пинагод look I see what you mean, see what you're saying, but I personally don't see anything wrong with a dude wearing stereotypically effeminine clothing. I don't think that reflects badly on the character, now granted, I personally wouldn't draw a male character that way, just because I am by no means a fan of feminine clothing. I'll celebrate my friends wearing it, regardless of their gender, but I personally isn't too Keen of drawing characters whether male or female, with stereotypically effeminate clothing. The style you described, I hate that kind of clothing, both on a man or a woman. I generally speaking with dress either one in simply jeans or pants and a plain t-shirt, basically just very simple clothing. I do feel like we should diversify what we define as masculine though, because we've had toxic masculinity infiltrating the image of masculinity for a long time, basically big buff macho guy who wouldn't let himself shed a tear and definitely isn't into fashion. I'm not the person going to break those stray types and specifically that way, I would in terms of the character writing itself, for example I have a male character that acts truly human, thank in a way like shinji does, but a grown man and probably less traumatized. Basically, I'm aware that there's this kind of representation in anime, which is by the way why I think it's the most progressive media on the market these days, regardless of what they say, because they nonchalantly do representation and don't make a big deal out of it. There's actually a great anime vtuber who talks about this, her name is natalie x Hunter. Personally I think the most important thing that at least for American audiences we need to break barriers for in terms of breaking down toxic masculinity, is not necessarily just showing that they can wear anything they want and have a gentle temperament and that doesn't make them masculinity bad or make it lesser or make them lesser of a man, but I just want to see truly human male characters who have a full spectrum of emotions
By the way I totally see what you're talking about being in your character's shoes, that's a very important thing. I absolutely agree with you, there was really little to no effort in this comic book, political stances should not take priority over a good story, I absolutely agree. You can still have a political message though, and many anime and manga are proof of that. For example, the original Gundam series? Confronts issues like war and conflict and divisiveness, even racism, classism too, and it all puts it all into question, and makes you really ask, why do we have war? The difference here is, most anime makes you think with their political messages, because it's inadvertent and it's not in your face like some sort of children's PSA.
I don't think it's a bad thing to break stereotypes for the story, but don't make that, like your political message, the only aspect to your story. That's like you go on a dating app, and all that's emphasized about a potential match, is that she's a strong powerful woman when you look into hobbies and interests that she has. All she typed in there was that she's a strong and independent woman, but you want to know more about her, so then you message her and ask if there's anything more to her than that, and then she gets offended. That's kind of what basically writing a story only to get a political message across does, because then the person has no sense of artfulness with it, they've just think if they make the whole plots around a psa, they'll draw the attention of viewers everywhere, which of course isn't true
No I do not want anime to ever be produced by americans, but maybe they should take some inspiration not just from the art style, but the story writing style. Political issues are addressed head-on but not in a patronizing PSA style like this comic book does. Another great example of an anime / manga that confronts issues head on, is the series battle angel alita, which basically takes your stereotypical 1950s sci-fi Utopia and then turns it on its head, making you think, well, how would potentially utopian society floating in the sky actually operate? Because in reality, they would probably be a lot of dark secrets behind it, and that's what the manga discusses at length. You see the everyday lives of many people who are emotionally suffering with their financial and social stances, since people are strongly divided into the salamence and people of the supposed factory, and they're not even seen as human by the system, there's not even a police system, because of anybody commits a crime, it's an immediate death sentence where a bounty hunter takes their head and brings it to the authorities. This is how you write a political story, since it's encoded in an imaginary world and circumstance, it gets to people's heads better, and make them think instead of having information talked to them if you know what I mean
About the colors, I see what you mean for sure, but I personally don't see anything wrong with the art style no coloring itself, it's just a bit distasteful for a Wonder woman comic. If it's going to be some slice of Life comic book or graphic novel even that is about a teenage girl discovering her true sexuality, you know I wouldn't have a problem with that. I have a problem with it being used for superhero comics though, it just does not fit the vibe as you pointed out. To me, it's like if Gundam or something was animated in a moe style, and all of the adult characters looking like little chibi babies. That style is totally fine and looks fine too, but not for the genre it's being used for. Or how about chainsaw man? Could you imagine that made with a bunch of chibi characters? Or how about neon Genesis evangelion?
@@otakumangastudios3617 Why is being a stoic and buff man who isn't into fashion a toxic masculinity trait? If someone doesn't want to shed a tear then why should you force them to do so? Similarly forcing a woman to stop crying when crying is a good way to relieve stress and trauma, and it's none of your business in the first place to stop someone from crying, or even make someone cry. It's stereotypes, but that absolutely isn't either toxic masculinity and femininity, this is just natural traits that come along certain humans. And not being interested in fashion - I'm not interested in fashion, and if that's part of a toxic masculinity trait then a very large group of men and even women would have said trait. Plus, you're implying that buffness is a masculinity trait, or that stoicism, buffness and disinterest in fashion is toxic. I know women who have these traits, are they toxic? I know women who are stoic, are they masculine?
No, those are not definitive terms that separates what's masculine and feminine, or positive and toxic. Look, even if you think it's good to break stereotypes, you also have to be realistic. On average, how much men do actually care for fashion and put extra effort into what they wear? Especially students for that matter, as far as I remember, _every_ guy in my class often wore jackets/hoodies for the entire semesters, and wore very plain shirts with either jogging pants and basketball shorts. I'm also not going to lie as a woman, women _do_ tend to care more about fashion than men, and that's fine, there's even a connection with it to art and not just beauty. Yet sure, you can add a select few of those that fall out of the majority, but in this entire comic where every character looks bisexual, it just falls flat and very unrelatable to the average. Even I'm bisexual, yet I absolutely can not even relate to the simplest of clothing choices.
And even if I agree that political opinions are fine to integrate, it should make moral sense to a point that it isn't left or right, it's centrist. That's what most great anime's do, criticizing the far right or left in a manner that highlights the wrong in it without wronging the political lining. Actually you know what? You don't even have to be a centrist to point out the morally wrong, you can be a leftist and know that this far-left comic series is gobshite.
And yes, this _is_ a superhero comic, not a comic about political opinions or gender identity. And I agree, the color schemes are very related to the bisexual flag so that would be a clever input about a comic about gender identity, but it isn't a comic about gender identity. This also just proves that the comic is even lazier in terms of ideas, it doesn't utilize the fact that there are super problems and super heroes.

I am about 4 years older than the writer. It's really a shame Milestone didn't happen when we were teenagers. It's such a shame Luke cage wasn't headlining his solo CAGE series at the time, it's a shame NightThrasher didn't have a solo title while also being the leader of team in their own book. It's such a shame John Stewart wasn't Earth's Green Lantern in the late 80s/early-90s. It's a shame Spawn didn't come out to massive acclaim in the 90s, even getting his own film in the late 90s starring Michale Jai White. SMH.
22:49 wow, I thought the art was bad but her face on that panel is just ridiculous. How the actual f*ck was that art approved.
It occurs to me the reason why these people can't sell stories. Their logic is so twisted and unrealistic that they can't write stories that make sense which turns off the customer. The editor was probably also replaced by immature and inexperienced staff so that's how a comic like this is released.
There's this awful tabletop RPG called "Racial holy war", or RaHoWa in short. It was made by unhinged white supremacists.
It's absolutely awful. Not "so bad it's a great parody"... It's boring, broken, it's full of edgy unfunny racial stereotypes... and it's literally unplayable (there is no way to tell whether your dice rolls are successful or not. It's _that_ bad).
Was it a commercial success? No. Was there _anyone_ interested in playing it? NO. Not even their "target audience". Was it at the very least a thought provoking political message? FUCK NO.
Then why the fuck was it made??
One simple reason: Propaganda.
Doesn't matter the quality of what they do, or whether they get money or not... The only thing that matters is spreading their poison and showing their equally deranged peers how they are "helping the cause"...
And I think it's better that way... Because unsuspecting people would avoid the propaganda because it's terrible. Not because they disagree with it...
Imagine that they started making _good quality_ propaganda... God fucking help us...
She's paler then I am also starting to think these guys have never encountered the police
I am sure they hide at the first POSSIBLE GLANCE of one!

lol, she’s barely black. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was 3/4 white.
Instead of the paper bag test, I suggest an aural test. She go into the Bronx or southside Chicago, and loudly drop a couple of the ol' "hard-Rs" in a crowd. If they seem to take some kind of offense to it, clearly, she ain't black. And I bet some would, 'cause she white.
Dude, if she's considered "black," then I have by default the N-word pass for being literally darker than her...
She says there ain't any role models for her
Um ever heard of Jean Grey? Batgirl?black widow?

How come Yoruichi from Bleach, Mirko from My Hero Academia, and even Elena and/or C. Viper from Street Fighter are better written than these modern american heroines?
It's almost like Japan hire writers and artists/designers who are not obsessed with race or subjective victimization
Tbh, minimal poc characters in a story is better, why? Because the character would be very special that way because mostly poc on anime are either epitomes of badassery and mystery. For example yoruichi from bleach, jirocho from gintama, cecile from magi love 2000%, sharkkan and armakkan from magi, aomine, chocolove from shaman king, chad from bleach,scar from fma, killer bee and his proteges and some I cant list, It actually makes them cooler and very unique without them forcing their character down your throat.
ngl bleach has some of the best character designs for black characters in anime they're all hot af

I’m sure there are plentiful great black writers that are women, but this one in particular was just pretty… bitter. And distasteful. When I first heard about the school shooting scene, I immediately dreaded it because that’s such a serious and horrible thing and with how the story was represented the whole time, you could just tell that it was going to be used to make a point rather than actually demonstrate the serious sort of traumatic experience it is, the implications of what it means about school services for students, etc. No… No, you could tell that it was just gonna be used to demonize a kid or make Nubia out to be amazing (or in this case: both). No respect for the horror of that kind of situation though. At least not that I could tell-and I think if that intent didn’t get across from the author, it probably wasn’t there. This story just really comes across as kind of insensitive and ignorant of some things. Some things that are pretty VITAL to know as a writer.
The art looks like a hybrid of calarts and five-year-old crayon drawings.
