Basically the only things Comic Book Legal Defence Fund talks about is muh diversity.

What is even the point of their existence? Have any of you funded them?

And all they're saying is "well they probably got banned due to having gays and Muslims in them".

What are some banned comics?

Dude, these people are fucking lunatics. I seriously hope you guys never gave them any of your money.

My dads private school banned all cape comics because they printed gayness and communism

>Comic Book SJW Defence Fund
ftfy

...

but muh enlightened euro comics with tasteful depictions of nude prepubescents need a voice

Comics Code?

>seriously trying to tear down the cbldf
Really user your that much of a fucking faggot they talk about the things that get comics in trouble dont blame them blame society.

Apparently not wanting sixth graders to be exposed to any type of this content means you hate gays and non-whites.

It really makes you think.

Even the worst of marvel has a right to be printed.

Frankly they dont deserve it being the only major publisher who is not a member but the cbldf is nice like that.

Charlie Hebbo.

Back when dinosaurs and christfags ruled the earth, they were actually useful.

>liniting a childs exposure to media.
Next you will say kids should not read sandman or hellblazer.

This is the first time I'm exposed to them after seeing their logo several times and these people are a fucking joke to anyone with a triple digit IQ.

The very post you replied to was saying Sandman shouldn't be read by kids.

Fuck im retarded.

Everybody should fucking read sandman. Even if just for the content on the nature of fiction and dreams.

The only reason they're even doing this is not >muh freedom of speech

It's because diversity is so awesome!!!1 Yay!!

Man, I would hang myself if I donated any money to these people.

>It's because diversity is so awesome!!!1 Yay!!
Well that is just blatently untrue.

They have been doing this since long before sjws were even a thing.

Here's a list of banned and challenged comics from their sight. Mostly from libraries and schools.

Amazing Spider-Man: Revelations TPB
Barefoot Gen
Batman: TDKSA
Batman: The Killing Joke
Blankets
Bone
The Diary of a Teenage Girl
Dragon Ball
Drama
The Color of Earth
Fun Home
The Graveyard Book
Ice Haven
In the Night Kitchen
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier
Maus
Necronomicon
Palomar
Persepolis
Pride of Baghdad
Saga
Sandman
Sidescrollers
Stuck in the Middle
Stuck Rubber Baby
Tank Girl
This One Summer
Watchmen
Y: The Last Man

Elementary, middle or senior schools? Cause I can accept a number of those books not being allowed in elementary schools

The kind of fights they engage in now is different than the shit they got into in the 90s.

Interesting enough, these days they're making the claim that shit is being banned for racist reasons, which they didn't back then.

There was a time that they'd try to cover all books, regardless of political direction. This isn't the case anymore.

Varies by book.

>Barefoot Gen
This one was because the Japanese are still denying there war crimes right.

From what I've read most of them were banned from elementary schools. Apparently that is a case of misogyny, islamophobia and homophobia. If you are to believe CBLDF, anyway.

Just skimming it seems like mostly middle school, high school, and public libraries (though Persepolis just says "Chicago Public Schools").

>not storytiming the banned books handbook itself
ONE JOB

>Bone
I will fight the motherfucker who did this.

Yes, all the Barefoot Gen challenges are from Japan.

Well i cant censorship based on age is not ok.
Killing joke, sandman, dragon ball, watchmen and extraordinary gentlemen in particular are things all students probably should read.

... what the hell is a diverse author?
I thought 'diverse' meant 'various', and could only be used with plurals or collective nouns.

Amazingly, Bone is one of the most challenged. It's printed through Scholastic as well so has a bigger presence than most in schools, and has been challenged several times in various places. Reasons vary.

-Promoting smoking and drinking.
-politically, racially, or socially offensive
-violence and horror

Your understanding of politics is worse than Sup Forumss. That takes real effort.

It's primarily the Japanese equivalent of soccer moms who thought that showing irradiated children dying from disease and starvation is too much for elementary school students.

Fuck banning Bone. I am glad the CBLDF is out there helping it not get banned.

I remember when i was a young child if the library had restricted me to books that were considered age appropriate i would have probably blown my brains out from bordom.

I can understand not asigning these things directly to students but to ban the books is just fucking over the more intelligent children.

The issue is the fact that the Japanese troops were awful even to other japanese. The literal issue was war crimes not the disease and starvation.

Newsflash, these things aren't actually banned banned. Stop falling for these crazies' propaganda.

>Amazing Spider-Man: Revelations TPB
Aunt May discovering who is Spider-Man is THAT bad?

How long until we see flintstones and doom patrol on that list

And thats the great thing about the cbldf flintstones is good and doom patrol is bad but they will defend them both just the same.

If it denys children the oportunity to read the classics its a problem.

If it denys teachers the oportunity to teach its a problem.

If it denys librarys the oportunity to lend its a problem.

>Bone
That's a weird one to see on there. I got into Bone after seeing it at a school book fair.

>various places have banned the book there
>nuh-uh it isn't banned cause ummm cause I say so

>powers that be
>white-cis-conservative
We half a black man in the Oval Office, and an incredible prog at that.

Tell me again how the hell these people think they aren't in charge?

Okay, I ban you from my thread you dumb little faggot. Now go cry to the cucks at CBLDF that I unban you.

Schizophrenia.

>not realising it's always a straight white male's fault
We got blamed for the gay nightclub shooting too

Tell me anons: What comics are you surprised that are NOT on the list?

Charlie Hebbo
Crossed
Bomb Queen
The Pro
What's Millar's worst? Nemesis?
Girls from the Luna Brothers.

The Ukio-e are the weakest they've been in 30 years. And work harder at your reading comprehension. The specific complaint was the horrors of war.

Thats a quote from one of the authors.

And thats the thing many of these chalenged books are sjw tripe but that does not make it ok to ban them.

Go back and notice that my post didn't challenge their ethics on banning books?

I also misspelled have.
Time for bed

>Blankets
Must've been banned at a catholic school for being Protestant.

Oh sorry about that user i guess im just a bit jumpy.

Also night user

>Pride of Baghdad

This is a real headscratcher for me. It's a story about a pride of lions that escaped from the Baghdad Zoo during the American invasion. Based loosely on a true story. Is it just perceived as being anti-American as a result of depicting the American military's actions in foreign countries resulting in violence?

Southern baptists ultrachristfags. Too much sex for the public library was their reasoning.

Speaking of which, I notice Crumb isn't on the list.

Interestingly enough the CBLDF says it's commonly challenged for sex, but I can't find any independent source.

I vaguely recall there being lion on lion sex in the book, but nothing beyond PBS fare.

CBLDF's featured banned books for 2016:
>Drama by Raina Telgemeier (Graphix)
>The Color of Earth trilogy by Kim Dong Hwa (:01 First Second)
>Fun Home by Alison Bechdel (Houghton Miffin Harcourt)
>Palomar by Gilbert Hernandez (Fantagraphics)
>Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi (Pantheon)
>The Sandman by Neil Gaiman (Vertigo)
>Stuck Rubber Baby by Howard Cruise (Vertigo)
>This One Summer by Jillian Tamaki and Mariko Tamaki (:01 First Second)

There's rape in it.

Persepolis always gets me. I mean fucking really?

I bet if Crossed was brought up, they'd ban it themselves.

REEEEE MUSLIMS REEEEE

You get the picture.

Yeah, that's the reason. Good job.

No the cbldf does not take sides.
Crossed is just so fucking shit that no library bothers to stock it the sjw shit at least has some sort of audience that would go to a library.

Cant ban a book thats not there.

>What is even the point of their existence?

Amongst other things, help retailers defend themselves when they get attacked by America's retarded "I know it when I see it" obscenity laws when they carry comic that contain nudity.

But all they're doing is fighting for diversity because diversity is awesome(and other such hip adjectives) under the guise of freedom of speech.

Because those are the main things comics are being chalenged for right now.

>Free speech is only worth defending when it supports things I like.

So if i make a black muslim terrorist transsexual hero, CBLDF would fight for my book?

That's like being an idiot as a woman and saying people are calling you an idiot because you're a woman.

You're literally defending this kind of practice.

Oh that sounds interesting im gonna give it a read.

Pray tell, how is defending comics from being banned over featuring a gay character in them objectionable to you?

Yeah, do so. It's a nice done-in-one story by Brian K. Vaughn, who's always a pretty entertaining writer, and who's doing something pretty unusual here. A satisfying little read.

I'm curious if that's actually the case. Correct me if I'm wrong but there are ZERO cases I'm aware of in their recent track record where they intervene because triggered tumblrite types have lost their shit and are trying to get things banned.

In the past they've fought for all political positions, but looking at the rhetoric on their current stuff, I'm not so confident.

Perisopolis is one of those cases where triggered muslims and triggered ultrachristfags both converge.

Are you illiterate?

Alright while thats downloading im gonna have some dinner.

Also why are only some vertigo titles on the dc comics app while others you get from comiXology only.

I mean people getting triggered by diversity.
But thinking about it its not true your right it is still mostly the same nudity and violence stuff the nudity just happens to be common in sjw comics.

he is.

The question here is, is it banned because of a gay character or something else.
Is there any clue its because of divergence or just assumptions that this is because of that.

The leading edge of SJWs are also triggered by nudity and violence just like the soccer moms, except stylized as sexual exploitation of women, and violence against women.

And the level that they're triggered at is like Cho and the Batgirl covers.

I would expect to see more high profile cases where it's the SJWs who have lost their shit and are going ban happy.

>I mean people getting triggered by diversity.
And females.

I want to cum inside ali

>The question here is, is it banned because of a gay character or something else.

A comic book featuring gay people being banned due to its inappropriate depictions of (homo)sexuality sounds pretty cut and dry to me.

>And the level that they're triggered at is like Cho and the Batgirl covers.
Wasn't Cho just second-hand trolling after some people got buttblasted over the Marana Spider Woman covers?

Wait is that a thing lions do share the females that sounds counterproductive.

>i prefer my meat raw
Nevermind i have no interest in cuming inside ali now

They hated cho before that. And the people being butblasted about the manara cover are exactly who I'm talking about in the first place.

Now the CBLDF HAS defended manara for his euro porn work back in the 90's, but would they do the same if it's the SJWs trying to get shit banned?

The took on Canada over some guy's chibi image of sex positions that he had on his laptop as he was crossing the border. That's a positive in my book.

>thats what zill used to say when he would go away with you
Ouch

>would they do the same if it's the SJWs trying to get shit banned?
Yes.

Why in the fuck would an organization founded on the principle of defending art be up for banning anything? Just because they currently happen to highlight diversity as a thing that requires active defending doesn't mean they're bandwagon riding idiots supporting only whatever the current hip thing is. It goes against everything they stand for.

Well their executive director is a J-O-O so how can we trust him?

This comics pretty good but they really should have made the eye injury more apparent its almost impossible to tell the 2 lionesses apart at times.

What's the group that helps out old comic pros?

I'm sure we'll eventually see the case. I'm surprised it hasn't happened already.

Not in favor of banning it. Just choosing to ignore or downplay the cases.

First source

>(homo)sexuality
>(homo)
Second why is it in clamps? Did you add it? Did they add it?
Because maybe its because the gay character has a strong sexual image and so its banned because porn?

Why are they talking about "diversity" like it's the ultimate good?

welp problem solved i guess

Either its just to get the money from sjw to help the greater good.

Or they just highlighted it because its much talked about.

But at the moment, with their reasoning, it seems a little blund or constructed.

>Why are they talking about "diversity" like it's the ultimate good?
The Pilgrim Fathers would've starved and died on the ocean without an Anglican sailor writing a book about how2get2America and they would've starved and died without Americans giving them food as well.
Likewise, the South would probably have never joined the Union if they didn't get those additional votes for every head of Negro in their posession.

Diversity made the USA.

>USA

>literally the melting pot of the world

>not pro-diversity

That ending made no fucking sense but i guess the writers were a little constrained by the true story base.
Probably because they just shot them out of nowhere.

So yeah the american thing.
