tl;dr: title is "Women Who Hate Trump, but Aren’t With Her," yet the piece doesn't even mention conservative or Republican women.

That's okay; there aren't any gay conservatives either:

By the logic of gay liberation, Thiel is an example of a man who has sex with other men, but not a gay man. Because he does not embrace the struggle of people to embrace their distinctive identity.

Before I got out of bed this morning i hear a thump against the side of the house. I figured probably a deer, maybe a racoon. When I got up sure enough there is a big 2/3 spike buck browsing right beside my BBQ probably just to rub it in that I couldn't shoot it, looking fat healthy and delicious. I then went around to the back of the house and started to scrape it's antlers on the willow near my birdbath (marking territory, start of the rut). I had to open the window and yell at it to stop, he looked like he was going to kill it.

So they're relaunching Iron Man as a black teenage girl called Riri Williams. And the bluenoses have bullied them into withdrawing this utterly inoccuous (if not terribly good) variant cover, because it "sexualises" the character:

As a middle-aged alcoholic arms dealer, I object to this total erasure of my lived experience.
I agree that the cover should've been withdrawn. How is she supposed to get the helmet on while wearing those big hoop earrings?

What's hilarious is that it's just a different take on the standard cover:

http://media1.gameinformer.com/filestor ... el/iim.jpg

Runway pose, exposed midriff, yoga pants, all the things they complain shouldn't (or wouldn't) be worn by actual 15 year old girls. 15 year old black girls, specifically. Because there are no pictures of actual real-life black teenage girls wearing anything like a crop top and yoga pants on the internet. :lol:

So that cover is fine, but the other cover is too much. Because even though she's basically in the same pose, she's holding her hand out and smirking and her breasts seem to be visibly maybe larger.

http://i.imgur.com/ivuT2HF.png

The best part is that Marvel keeps pandering to these people despite knowing that doing it will cost them. Lady Thor, heavily marketed by feminists after its reimagining Thor as a woman, was cancelled due to poor sales. Mockingbird, another comic book franchise that goes back to the 70's, and also heavily marketed by feminists after its recquisition by self-proclaimed social justice warriors, recently got cancelled due to poor sales. They just do not buy comic books. They love the idea of women in comic books, but they don't buy them.

This is the same story as every other. Feminists/SJWs don't want to actually buy comics or be an actual part of geek subculture. They don't want to be skeptics and adhere to the laws of logic and reason to determine their worldviews.

They want control. They want an excuse for why they are so weak that they got PTSD from Twitter.

A hobby of mine as well, though I don't have an expensive air rifle or scope. Having some backyard chickens attracts the rats, and we have too much wildlife to use wholesale poison.

A strategy that worked for me was to use the birdfeed ,sunflower seed to set up a station that they would have to share with the birds, and make sure there is no other available feed.
I'm 10 or 20 feet away hanging out the window, and when the rats see the birds feeding on the bait without being harassed they feel bold.
Because the birds give them distance, the innocent are safe.

I know I butchered that quote but it was on purpose I wanted to reply to what Pitchguest said and also talk about the offending cover.

As to Pitchguest's point. I live just north of Atlanta in a large apartment complex (I think it's over 1000 units) and most of my neighbors are black. It's been over 80F(26C) almost every day since late March here. 15 year old black girls certainly can and do dress like that in real life. Some 15 year olds are sexual creatures ( I was on the hunt at that age) and it's crazy to pretend otherwise.

Now to the cover. It was drawn by J. Scott Campbell. Campbell made his name in 90s on Spider-man covers before breaking off and creating his own stuff. His own stuff being the Danger Girl comic. His style is unique, and pretty awesome if you don't look at the way legs attach to hips.
http://www.idwpublishing.com/wp-content ... vr_111.jpg

Anyway like I said Campbell created Danger Girl a comic about strong women almost 20 years ago and it's still being published today. Outside of Wonder Woman I don't think there were any other female lead comics at the time. But do they give a fuck about that? No.

So they have gone after Frank Cho and he just blows them off and trolls them. They have now come after Campbell. Looking at his twitter he is not backing down and just seems confused about what is happening. I am genuinely afraid they will go after Terry Moore next.

Terry Moore is a musical turned comic creator. He will do a cover for the big companies every now and then and he did a "Mary Jane Loves Spider-man" mini series but mostly he just creates his own stuff. He is most known for "Strangers in Paradise" about a couple of lesbians. It was great. You should read it. Anyway if these assholes were to attack him I think he might cave. Which sucks because I am really looking forward to his new series. It's about a female mechanic who works on flying saucers. There is also a gorilla.

Well, of course they do, and of course they are! We've all been teenagers, and we all know they come in all shapes and sizes (and pretensions). To pretend that "black young women don't dress that way" is frankly absurd.

The difference between you and them is that you buy your comic books. They don't. I bet you if they get their clutches at another franchise, inject their ideology and declare victory, it's going to fail because none of them actually stick with and buy the comic book they set out to advertise and defend! Lady Thor didn't even last two years. And that was a big fucking deal. Thor passing the hammer to a woman. But then they forgot to put their money where their mouth is. :violin:

Lady Thor seems to be a big talking point for a lot of people. You have to be careful there. It's true it there was a lot of hype and then it sales dropped off and it never sold well. I didn't read it so I am not going to comment on the story telling but the idea that it was heavily influenced by modern feminism is out there.

Here are some things that are not true. In comics Thor passing the hammer really wasn't a big deal. In my lifetime Thor has been a crippled old doctor, a handsome young paramedic, a frog, an architect, a horse faced alien, and now a woman. It's a story and comics reset all the time. The broader media sometimes notice these changes on slow news days. It happened with the 92 death of Superman (which is one of about dozen times he has died) or the 07 death of Captian America (again he has died plenty of times before and I think a couple of times since). The title actually had a decent run for a modern comic. It was probably always slated to end about the time it did because of the cross overs. Oh and Lady Thor is still Lady Thor. And her comic is still ongoing. The original Thor has a new comic coming out next month.

I really like Campbell's art. He just sometimes has issues with women's legs where they connect to the hip. He did Superman stuff and I think pegged it pretty well.

Exactly my point about Mary Whitehouse and The Singing Detective. I'm not even sure they do love the idea of women in comic books. They just get off on being outraged - and if there's nothing obvious to get outraged about, they'll get outraged about nothing - and on making demands.

(There's a very good Lindybeige video about AD/BC and CE/BCE, where he proposes retaining the abbreviations AD and BC, but changing what they stand for to "Ascending Dates" and "Backwards Chronology" to remove any religious connotations that anyone might object to. But he concludes that wouldn't satisfy the politically correct, because what they really want is to exert power by forcing other people to change their behaviour.)

But you're right that there's no benefit in pandering to them. Even if you follow their demands to the letter, you won't get them to buy it, and you alienate the people who do buy it.

Too late for Trafalgar day - but nevertheless I'll post it

"Kiss Me Hardy" must be one of the classic examples of last words - right up there with Oscar Wilde's "Either those curtains go or I do".

However, I have heard that he was mis-quoted and that he actually said "Kismet Hardy" ie that it was fate or destiny that had brought him to this.

They don't actually care about comic books. Just like Sarkeesian doesn't actually care about video games. She praised Beyond Good and Evil (which had the same features she hated in other video games, like "sexual signifiers", violence and lack of realism) just because other "feminist pop culture critics" loved it. She praised the Scythian because that's a game which SJW hipsters love. She's friendly with Joss Whedon because he's well-connected to other feminist in the media, even though using the same criteria for "feminist analysis" (i.e. taking bits out of context and calling them sexist) Whedon's work is just as anti-feminist as a lot of the stuff she's criticized.

She obviously enjoys certain video games (probably Candy Crush and other puzzle games), but hates not just some titles, but some genres, like first person shooters and fight games. That's just like wanting to be a movie critic and hating all action movies and horror movies not because of some assessment of quality but just because they're action movies or horror movies. But in the end it doesn't matter.

Radical feminist "critiques" and attacks to pop culture aren't about pop culture itself. It's all virtue-signalling and social manipulation through media campaigns. It's all about telling other feminists that you're "doing something" and about emotionally and socially blackmailing authors and forcing them to cave to your demands. It's all about getting society to conform to their standards and making those who don't pariahs. The same thing happened in the Big Rift in atheism. The explicit intent of Myers and the others who expelled Thunderfoot from FTB was to turn him into a pariah, and SJW atheists care less and less about atheism or secularism.

Missionary religious groups and political ideologies operate in the same way. It's never about what you've done or not done, it's all about how pious you are, how many rules you respect, how well do you know the dogma, how obedient you are. It's all about punishing the heretics, the schismatics, the nonbelievers and the apostates. It's all about enforcing the One True Dogma, and about gaining prominence in your "church" by successfully labeling your rivals as heretical and gaining prominence in society by implementing your dogmas in institutions and by converting enough people to turn the nonbelievers into pariahs while you make sure that everything is under control and there are no schisms in your movement and that no one can leave it without being punished.

TL;DR: No wonder the SJWs don't support the entertainment they praise. Social is not about creating things you enjoy, it's about social control and manipulation.

#56502

In many cases it's not even a conscious process, it's just a set of natural social and psychological consequences that stem from promoting the idea of a specific moral dogma, a specific meme detached from reality and which cannot be questioned. When there's no room not only for disagreement, but for correction, the specifics of the dogma end up not really mattering in the long run. It's all about being faithful to the dogma, whatever it is, even if you don't really understand it and it doesn't make any sense.

Radical feminism and critical theory in general are self-replicating mind viruses.

Marvel announced a big push to deserve it's comics a couple of years back. So we get black Spider-man, Thor with tits, Asian Hulk, Muslim Ms Marvel, and black teenage female Iron man.

As long as the stories are compelling I don't care. Like I said before more of these stories will reset at some point. Stan Lee was recently asked about this stuff and he said he thought creating new characters is better and I agree with him but like most things this will past.

#56504

I'm not so sure about the significance of splintering ("Splitters!").

Can anyone think of any group organised to accomplish anything that has not had factions or splinter groups?

There may be something about True Believers (ideological or religious) vs Heretics though that causes much venom and bile to be spilt, as it is a battle for control.

Even if there had never been 'Deep Rifts' in the 'Atheist Movement' Myers would still be a cunt.

No, soldiers creep about in enemy territory to excuse their fondness for racist facepaint.

Every time it looks like we've hit peak-SJW, they scale another height.

'Armies shouldn't wear dark camoflage because it's racist' is where this nonsense could actually start to cost lives. Bastards. Absolute, utter bastards.

"Kiss Me Hardy" must be one of the classic examples of last words - right up there with Oscar Wilde's "Either those curtains go or I do".

However, I have heard that he was mis-quoted and that he actually said "Kismet Hardy" ie that it was fate or destiny that had brought him to this.

The "Kismet, Hardy" was a bowdlerisation introduced by, I think, Robert Southey in his Life of Nelson designed to hide the possible homoeroticism of the moment from delicate Victorian ears. Dirty minds on those Victorians.

It's a bit obvious that would cause a shitstorm though. I couldn't agree more that the reaction will be over the top but tweeting that picture out is not a clever move. Maybe they just don't give a fuck. However. Anthill Mob.

It was the video of the soldier singing 'Mammy' that crossed the line.
