Protip: The actual reason for diminishing comic book sales is horrendous tier writing and plots. It's actually asinine to say that women and minorities have ruined comics somehow when Wonder Woman and Black Panther have existed, among others, for literally half a century now or so.

>not the fact that comic books are fucking retarded

>Release new solo book
>Shit art
>Shit writing
>Expects it to sell

The horrendous tier writing and plots are a part of the diversity movement though.

>be forced to write some diversity quota filler character instead of your actual vision
>turns out the writing is forced and shit

Your tip doesnt neccessarily contradict with OP.

It's almost like SJWs were never a profitable consumerbase to pander to because they just whine instead of voting with their wallets.

>An entire medium based on exploiting autistic fanboys who love seeing the same characters over and over again, just in new situations and meeting other characters
>Sales decrease after you replace all the characters with minority or female counterparts in an effort to appeal to a demographic that doesn't actually give a shit about comic books and butcher the quality of the writing to spotlight these changes

Color me surprised.

FUCK DRUMPF AND FUCK WHITE PEOPLE

And where did that suddenly come from?

Good, bring back the normal Marvel days.

dont forget the art design itself
WHO KNEW HIRING TUMBLR REJECTS WILL BACKFIRE. someone post that squirrel girl, you know what comic panel.

EA does this shit all the time.

It's assuredly coming for mass effect androgynous in the next couple weeks.

>manly girl
why would female characters have to play male roles.

amerifats are gross and tasteless. draw some american magical girl weebshit or some sailor moon rip off instead. its far better than this incoherent manly dudebro garbage.

>suddenly
Comic plots have been overly-continuity-focused garbage for literal decades. The public is just waking up once they realize they need to read 1000 issues of Batman just to figure out what the fuck is going on

I'm pretty sure people don't have a problem with women or black characters or whatever. They just don't want shit written by tumblr/twitter retards.

Still giggle me every time I think about it.

That's the point though
>Always write themselves into a hole where the only way out is invent some retarded new power the hero just "happens" to get then
>Plot armour being a thing
>Run out of ideas
>I know make the character a girl under the guise of diversity! That'll get more people reading our comics
>Push away actual fans of the comic
>WOOOOWWW how was I supposed to know people that didn't care about comics still weren't going to buy them?
>Wait guys we'll change it back please come back!

Strong and smart women have existed in fiction during decades. Does no one remember Xena? Or Blade? Or GTA San Andreas? people loved those characters, why? because they weren´t forced, they were make for fun, not trying make you feel guilty.

Of course if you keep insulting your readers/gamers and wishing for them to stop existing they won´t buy your trash, you have to be literally a retard to boicot your consumers.

Start using adblockers/tracker blockers already

Forced?They want to do it.

>People use hobbies to relax and escape the real world issues
>shove controversial political topics on said hobbies
>they don't buy your shit anymore
Really compels one to ponder

You know why we don't mind Wonder Woman? Because she has WOMAN in her name.

Turning Iron MAN into a niggress is a critical, sales-destroying problem all on its own.

Cape comics are a literal no sense scam.

Strange how DC has a couple of minority character books that are actually pretty well written.

Are the actual physical comic books even making that much money relative to the movies and other mediums they've expanded into?
I thought this entire dump of comic book films was so that the companies didn't have to bother doing anything new and instead could just introduce characters that the general public (i.e. people who don't bother with comics) were aware of but never read using origin stories ad infinitum and expanding from there.

>Xena

>Strong and Smart

Xena was literally softcore porn.

>Diversity and inclusion manager
This... this can't be an actual real job position, right?

>diversity & inclusion manager
This is a real job. Someone is earning money for this and paying off their college loan for their gender studies degree. Fuck america.

The funny thing is, it's also sexist.
>Here's this totally awesome female character who's super smart, super amazing and super good at destroying evil
>Why yes, she's just Iron Man. Original powers or abilities? Nah.

This is what happens when you are in charge of someone else character, a character that you haven´t created and you turn it into a tool for your fucking politic believes.

>turn several timeless tried and true A list heroes heroes into minorities
>they don't even ease long time readers into it, it's just an avalanche all at once

That's called bad writing and it is directly intertwined with MUH DIVERSITY

remember blade and storm? I guess diversity is never enough.

Just using adblock isn't enough

I should start a website where the user plays a game called "guess which of these comic pages is an edit"

>fuck America
>riot is owned by China

in sjw obama version of the USA yes, yes it is.

How hard is it to write "forced" diversity?

Comic books are for children.

Who knew going after people that couldn't care less about your product would lead to less sales than if you had kept doing what you were already doing.

>>People use hobbies to relax and escape the real world issues
I mean if a comic book is just DERRRR SUPER DUPER IS FIGHTING DARK DUDE i won't give a fuck.

Yeah, that's why you use tracker blockers. This way ad networks can't target you for contextual/targeted ads and pay-per-display/click ads also don't show
They get nothing, but traffic that doesn't give them a cent.

WE MUST GO DEEPER? CHINA? WHAT IS CHINA?

I guarantee you there is no position for that job in the chinese office.

Stay mad, sjw, and proceed to neogaf posthaste.

the only sensible post in this thread

coincidence might not indicate a definite causation but it's better than anything else proposed

This. If it's a female character written by Tumblr then you can expect a good portion of the thing to be extremely preachy about how bad white males are. If it's not written by them then the story just continues.

>Marvel blames diversity

They should be blaming their own garbage writers. Diversity pandering is only a symptom, not the cause.

Not even trying.
Clearly edited.

Where theese supposed to be hard to spot or are you trolling?

she's living the dream i see

WE WUZ SMART N SHIET

You can add to that by comparing DC legacy minority characters which get added yet the original character is still there for fans to enjoy and how DC is actually selling well.

I can't wait desu enough of this stupid "12 faggots one straight" bullshit enough of the game telling me how great getting pegged in the ass is, enough of this game telling me the crap trannies spew at eachother to make each other feel better

STRAIGHT WHITE MEN PLAY AND BUY YOUR GAME
SELL IT TO THEM

>Calls shop'd on the actual, factual comic page

Spotted the leaf.

They need to adopt the Japanese format.

I fucking hate the random bolding of words in these comics. In that page alone it's used for both tone emphasis as well as denoting proper nouns. Also it just looks retarded in general.

Not from the article but Marvel's push is mostly diversity in it's hiring.

Which for them hiring the brownest gender fluid idiots you will find, who have a tumblr following. This extends to the artist pool as well.

And note how being a good writer is not a part of the hiring here. It is pure tokenism to appease intellectual hipsters and see if noncomic fans like comics. Turns out they do not actually like comics.

>Domino in deadpool 2 is a mexinigger
>Valkyrie in Thor 3 is a mulatto
WE

Reverse image search it leaf-kun.

The problem is that they understand diversity as making the whites do all the difficult work instead of just be more women and black men writing, making games or drawing their own heroes, not to mention to buy them

>A medium whose demographic is mostly white male neckbeards doesn't buy stuff made by SJWy fucks who only care to blame white people.

Color me surprised.

What does that exactly mean?

The guy clarified that the already existing female and minority superheroes still sell fine.

People do not want muh crowbarred black-latino Spider-Man. People don't like their media being disrespected and held hostage for the agendas of political groups. Go fucking figure, buddy.

I wish you were right.

I really do.

...

The problem is that American comics have zero diversity. They're all about spandex fuckfaces with superpowers fighting each other.

Yeah but putting up an anime image is pretty contradictory to the statement.

They just rename shit and copy each other so much it might as well be the same characters.

...

Stop reading mainstream shit then

i never had a single sexual thought about xena growing up and i watched a fair amount of those shows
that and hercules
man i hope sorbo is still getting work i like his straight laced no nonsense attitude that he plays to his characters

he and nathan fillion should do a space cowboy series together far the fuck away from serenity so as to distinguish itself

>didn't want females

NO YOU STUPID CUNT WE DIDNT WANT BLACKS AND RACIAL PANDERING IN THE COMICS

women are fine, in fact i'd rather read more female heroines, just don't make them black or mexican for no damn reason

I know you're probably trolling, but in case you're not, Loki: Agent of Asgard #12.

Heimdal was also black in the Thor movies despite being white in the comics and the actual mythology.

Pretty much half the reason I never got into comics. It makes the characters SEEM like they are SHOUTING every other WORD and it's unbelievably fucking annoying to read.

This is why manga and non-us comics are better than US comics

LOL

Bad writing and plots are a symptom, diversity is the cause.

fucking capitalist pigs

I wish that was the author crying out for being forced to write feminist propaganda, but it's probably just a retard trying to write a strawman and ending up making a solid argument against his bullshit instead.

>quote says people aren't buying stories featuring minorities
>gets taken to mean it's blaming minorities for overall sales decline

The quote even explicitly said that preexisting characters like Miles Morales weren't an issue.

Turn everyone into lolis.

I like how they push muslim thing, even though most comic books are banned in muslim countries.
and women arent even allowed to read or go to college. LMAO. ALLAH ACKBAR!

Is this supposed to be satire or something?

that's what's good about them though

>and the actual mythology.
The actual mythology has never been relevant to Thor

Johnny Storm was actually the only good thing in that godforsaken adaption desu

>everyone looks at the camera
>white chick looks at the nigger

Couldnt fabricate it

Worst part is that Mighty Thor is solid but the early SJW shit is a permanent shitstain on the whole series.

>Diversity ruining Marvel

No, lazy writing, incompetent editors and bad business practices are what ruining Marvel you dink. No wonder Kevin Fiege took his studio to Disney and serve any ties with Marvel Entertainment.

Shut the fuck up, homo.

I support this action.

You're right. Not to mention these companies are in a limbo if they want to represent themselves as a diverse team. Fans have been spoiled and ask too much of CC and if they don't become diverse, they also bitch. Then you get shit like posted.

>The actual mythology has never been relevant to Thor

I think you need to elaborate on what you mean here, because it seems like they taken a lot of stuff from the actual mythology, like Thor, Odin Loki etc.

I was in /cock/ a couple days ago and saw a thread about this news.

Dc has much better sales than marvel currently by not being grossly retarded. Even harley queen is selling more than marvel big hits.

Dont seen to be diversity, just the fact the plots and consistesncy of the story are fucking terrible.

What was the british character that got remade as a muslim?

supposing that they did what theyd get instead of that shit. cookie cutter dudebro shooters and thuggy sandbox games again?

Story wise they're supposed to be fucking siblings.

i swear if there's one thing id change about comics it's the bold words
they can keep their diversity pandering if they want but bold words seem insistive and condescending

Have they admitted yet that none of Harley's costume redesigns in any medium have ever been better than just the classic original Animated Series costume?

>That sounds so crazy... It just might werk

Reminds me of when Electronic Arts blamed the poor reception of Sim City on homophobia.
