You're like dealing with the Soviet propaganda industry back during the Cold War. It's just like when they used to refer to "OUR ballistic missiles are friendly and peace-loving, but THEIR ballistic missiles are unkind and war-mongering". Except instead of random missives issued by TASS to a bored international press it's now just an unrelenting torrent of YouTube clips from plonkers that all say the same silly things over and over and over again.
So I quote an actual transgender person on her conclusions of the phenomenon just to share an interesting little aspect of that issue, and you believe this proves what we really need to talk about is me.
Are you sure I'm the one with the problem. Because that logic sounds a little messed up.
Sorry, just having a meltdown that alternates between giggling and weeping at how the sub-moronic us vs. them of our awful times has so thoroughly ruined everything under the sun.
I don't remember hearing anybody complain about Lynda Carter's shaved pits... even Wonder Woman in the first comic books was shaved.
Even worst, why didn't anybody have a problem with this guy?
I believe the last comic book I read was Sgt. Rock, I was about 14.
OK so I actually listened to the guy for a while this time. Basically it's the cultural relativist's argument that goes nothing really matters until I or we decide there's something that really matters. Don't expect evidence to support that decision.
Oh...and you know when he was playing with his hair? I don't think he was acting.
Evidence? He cites a bunch a shit. It's not laid out in MLA format but he does say where many of the critical arguments he makes comes from. It's a quickshot Youtube clip on the guy's personal take in a comedic format, not a dissertation. He could cite philosophers and theory but that's all just Cultural Marxism to you. Hell of a lot better than Blaire taking the initiative to make sure to tell us who and who is not "trans" which conveniently for herself absolves her.
I don't know what your comment about his hair is about?? Who cares?? Who notices shit like that?
I really don't know enough about the comics to talk much, I have a very loose understanding of who is who as far as Marvel versus DC. It's like Star Wars and Star Trek all over again. When kids were getting made fun of for being into all tat, I was here being made fun of for even more cringy things. I'm so disconnected that I feel less reflexive rejection towards "new things" in these movies. It'd be like me getting legitimately upset at a "Breakfast Club" remake. Just don;t feel a personal connection to it; it's not my field. I don't even know where the hell you can buy comics these days.
Props to the Cultural Marxist boogyman forcing Hollywood to come up with better tropes!
Marvel movies are doing great. Marvel comics aren't these days. The diversity push in the comics has alienated a lot of long-time fans and the sales have fallen as a result. As opposed to DC, Marvel has also inexplicably jettisoned a lot of the standard dynamic super-hero artwork and launched a lot of really bad "cartoon" comics that are more manga/anime than classic comic art. These are niche titles at best that generate no where near the sales numbers that the more traditional genre stories do, hence DC now kicking Marvel's ass in single issue sales over the last several years.
One thing I do know is a lot of people are pretty pissed about Captain America now
And I know an obscure Spider-Man dimension with "Spider-Punk" which is just anarchist riot porn quite frankly
But that's about the totality of my knowledge. Like, where are they selling comics? Do I gotta order them online or are they hidden behind Maxim at 7/11?
There's usually at least a couple of dedicated specialty stores in any sizeable town or city that sells them.
I go to these guys and read for (ahem) free:

Speaking of Captain America, they had to launch a second Cap title with Steve Rogers (the original white guy from WW2) because the other Cap title where he'd been replaced by Sam Wilson (the black guy, aka Falcon from Winter Soldier and Age of Ultron) was selling so poorly. This isn't me being a dingus about it with an anti-diversity rant, this is just free market reality in that (just like with the lady Ghostbusters movie) a lot of long-time fans desert a book or a film or a TV show if they feel that the heroes they grew up with and love are being taken away from them. Especially if they're being taken away from them to fulfill some kind of socio-political agenda.
