We talk a lot about how woke Disney-owned Marvel is, but it's biggest competitor DC isn't learning any lessons Marvel's failures. In fact, they seem to be going all out to go out of business first.
The bi-sexual Superman comic they launched lasted all of one year.
Then there were the shameless diversity covers that essentially equated Hispanic people with food.
Remarkably, Dr. Jill Biden's breakfast tacos didn't make the cut. Sorry, San Antonio!
And now, DC is trying again by introducing a new gay-Green Lantern title called Green Lantern: Alan Scott.
And if turning another superhero into a flaming homosexual isn't enough, they're trying another tactic and adding "God-endorsed" sodomy to the plotline.
(I blurred the near-nudity here)
"Hey — if God himself didn't want me to love you then how could I?"
You might be surprised to learn that sales of the new book were abysmal. The writer, Tim Sheridan, took to social media to call all the fans that refused to buy his soft-core gay fantasy books "haters" and "queerphobes" and begged people to buy them.
"The only way we can shut these people down is to make this book an undeniable success," he continued. "The only way to prove to the big publishers that there's a huge market for authentic stories about LGBTQIA+ characters and these stories are for everyone is to buy the heck out of books like this."
Yeah, no one showed up. Much like the other panderverse DC storylines, the title is tanking.
The Comicbook Hub system that tracks sales across random stores did not register the book on its charts … at all.
Sales were all but non-existent.
But DC isn't ready to throw in the towel and just give up because of the failure of one diversity book … or even several diversity books (and television shows ... and movies).
They also have a several-million dollar streaming series staring the gay Green Lantern in production!
No one is ever going to be okay with you gaying up comic books.
Just stay down, DC.
The one by Bruce Campbell?
Who the hell has a “super hero” who’s not under 12 years old. Comic books are for children, or immature adults.
When something has that kind of history you might want to think before you disparage it.
Nah, I’ve given it some thought as you suggested, and I still think comic books are childish. Ever see one of those comic conventions where adults run around in super hero costumes? I put super hero enthusiasts in the same class as furries and adult babies who want to be cared for as infants. The people never grew up. I do however respect your right to read them and even role play if thats your thing. It would be interesting to see the opinion of mental health experts on it.
Comic books, conventions and dressing up, not my thing at all. I just understand where all it comes from and you do not.
Chesterton's fence.
And if you think there is any such thing as an actual "mental health expert" any more you are deep in to fantasy.
I don’t care when or where it came from”champ”. It’s bullshit to me even if it’s 100,000 years old.
“They instituted ESG scores (environmental, social, and governance criteria) as a way of seeing if companies were “worthy” to receive the capital they needed to operate.”
Good point.
The WEF, Vanguard, Black Rock, State Street, etc. all push ESG. They are insidious.
