Comic Fans Revolt Against Too Much Diversity, Want Their Beloved Characters Back
Truth Revolt ^ | 12/22/2017 | Trey Sanchez

l“Any character that was diverse, any character that was new, our female characters, anything that was not a core Marvel character, people were turning their nose up,” Marvel’s David Gabriel said.

At October’s Comic Con in New York, Marvel was confronted by comic book retailers who blamed the diversity push for killing sales.

Do you think Marvel is getting the message that people everywhere - kids, millennials - and everyone else is sick and tired of having diversity - homosexuality, feminism, LBGTQ and other "diverse" characters shoved down our throats?

"This year could be even worse. ICv2 President Milton Griepp says comic-book store sales fell 10.5% in the first nine months of this year compared with the same time in 2016."

Any character that was diverse...

By definition, it is not possible for an individual to be "diverse".

I suspect a very basic problem is that I never met anyone into comic books that wasn’t a white kid or guy. I see all these commercials now pushing boys’ toys on girls (Star Wars or Hunger Games weapons, for example); while the intent is clear, I have yet to see a real girl playing with any of these things. Just as many older girls turn away from the STEM stuff pushed on them, young girls don’t want light sabers or bows and arrows for Christmas...

You mean comic book fans are getting tired of Super Lesbian Muslim Black Jihadist fighting the forces of white male hetero Christian evil?

Crowd: “Yes, we’re individuals! We’re unique!”

Dennis: “I’m not,”

Crowd: “Shhhhh!”

-

No. Leftists are incapable of “getting the message” (think: NFL). If the sales of these stupid comic books dropped to zero, they’d simply blame themselves for not educating their readers well enough on how not to be homophobic, sexist, racist, Nazi monsters.

Let's hope so. Spiderwoman is a lot more interesting when she looks like this:

...than when she looks like this (yes, in the latest storyline, she's pregnant):

Typical. LibTaints demand things in the name of “Social Justice” that nobody wants, apparently including them.

They always take established, popular comics to push these issues, and the story suffers to accommodate it. When sales drop, they’ll blame it on technology, people reading comics online, and the lack of open-mindness of the readers.

And don’t get me started on the new Doctor Who. Ratings have dropped almost a third since they started overtly pushing SJW issues and characters two years ago. This season, the Doctor changes gender because (after 50 years), it’s “time” for a female Doctor Who.

Directed by none other than George Clooney....if the dude didn't look the way he did you'd never heard of him. Can't act to save his life.

The simple truth is the problem isn’t the diversity of the characters.

It’s their shallowness.

SJWs can only deal with superficial diversity and usually can’t make a character that has any real depth.

The new Ms Marvel is a good example. They wanted it to be a lanky Muslim girl so badly they never thought of how she could be a good character and essentially projected their own superficial neurotic personality onto her. Compare it to non-white characters who are good, such as War Machine or Steel.

GI Joe, which in it’s popular form has always been diverse like America, was given to a card carrying socialist SJW who made random changes to characters which were unrealistic and just plain stupid. One of the latest issues had all the male characters failing to take down an attacking monster via tank, artillery, and aerial assault yet their black Samoan female takes it down singlehandedly with a shoulder mounted missile launcher loaded with literally tons of missiles.

Seriously, read some of their comics. It’s all tokenism with characters who have to constantly feel validation and are little more than Mary Sue tropes. Wolverine sees X23, aka female wolverine, and all he can do is gush over how much better she is than him as she effortlessly takes down the ninjas he was struggling and losing to.

Comic book fans want good stories with good characters. SJWs trash the old characters to make the new ones look better and the new ones still look terrible.
