Yeah.

I used to be a big comic book fan but the entire medium has turned into an LGBT advocacy program for emtionally arrested man-children.

Instead of creators like Stan Lee and Jack Kirby (a couple of WWII vets) or Steve Ditko (an ultra conversative objectivist), the industry is comprised of a bunch of perverts.

If I still had young kids I’d be afraid to let them go to a comic-con at this point. It’d by like throwing them into a NAMBLA gathering.

Right. Exactly. I really don’t think a lot of people know this. Japan has a huge comic industry where they use comics as substitutes for movies. One comic artist wrote once that most comic artists are wanna-be directors and movie makers and that comics are cheaper.

Japan’s comics are separated into different categories. Once category is very much inundated with sexual depictions and the LBGT is very much represented in this category.

It’s said it’s common to see them reading thick comics on trains on their way to work.

One comic category is Yaoi, which means ‘Boy’s Love’ and is all about homosexual relations.

from Wikipedia I will link to after.

“the characters may be of any age above puberty, including adults. Works featuring prepubescent boys are labelled shotacon and seen as a distinct genre.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaoi

Many comic artists and writers are very in tune to the anime and manga comics of Japan.

Western comic sales are circling the drain. i.e. they sell so bad that they would have been cancelled in the past, and they sell for 3 or 4 dollars for a 32 pager.
