Jesus Christ.

PS How does this shit get past editors? And how was that even mansplaining?

This is an altered screenshot, right? Or is this bullshit really in the fucking comic? Because if it's the latter, I'm glad we voted for Trump.

What? Is this legit? I thought DC learned from Marvel's mistakes.

This is legit Green Arrow 13 from last week.

Is there a way we can eventually reclaim comics from these motherfuckers? That's what I want to know, really.

Other than not buying shit like this, how can we hit them where it hurts? I mean, I know sales have been dropping across the board, but how do we explicitly state "We don't want Leftist trash in comics?"

>WOKE BILLIONAIRE WHITES AND OTHER FANTASTIC TALES VOL 12

"Leftist trash" has always been in comics, because the vast majority of writers are leftist. It's just the language they're using has changed because a bunch of them have picked up a lot of obnoxious SJW terminology.

It's true that now that no one buys comics it's hard to determine the reason behind dropping sales.

I think this leftist propaganda in comics comes from leftist propaganda in social media. I think our best shot would be if these leftists started claiming that bullshit in comics like this shows everything in the wrong light, that it's not about cramming tumblr buzzwords into dialogue. I seriously don't know what else could be done.

>Green Arrow being a libtard
>this is somehow new and shocking

You faggots don't even read comics.

Fair enough, but multiple stories are less so. Warren Ellis' Moon Knight is apolitical. So is Geoff Johns' run on Green Lantern. (I mean, there might be a social-political analogy in the Sinestro Corps War, but if there is one I'm seriously not seeing it.)

That awful Mockingbird run - where the writer eventually quit in a huff and fled to her safe space - was political. Ultimate Spider-man (before Miles) was apolitical. Peter didn't have any particular political ideology. Tom King's excellent The Vision is apolitical. (The Omega Men is a metaphor for the Middle East wars, but it's also apolitical. In fact, it's not anti-interventionism, which most comics tend to be.)

How do we whip these writers until they quit this shit? For instance, Nick Spencer's Falcon as Captain America is obviously politically charged, but that doesn't meant I want to read Black Lives Matter versus the Americops.

Simple.

Vote with your money.

It's a joke, you reactionary morons. She's taking the piss out of him. It's what she fucking does.

Now kindly untwist your collective panties and stop sperging out about the fact that the most famous left wing character in comic is actually a left winger.

This is more about retarded non-existing words being crammed into dialogue to cater to the three bloggers that actually buy comics.

>Fair enough, but multiple stories are less so.
I don't disagree. Most of the best writers manage to keep their political opinions out of their stories, or at least integrate them in such a way that it doesn't grate even if you strongly disagree with what they're saying. But even so, the majority of comic book writers is leftist and that has always been the case, and a good number of them can't keep their opinions to themselves.

And besides, Green Arrow has always been political. The actual quality of writing aside, him being an SJW isn't even out of character.

To be fair, I already don't buy the shit I don't like.

It's current year, man. Trump is President, the Right is on the rise, we're sick of the left-wing brownshirts. The average joe has the right to get pissed off, because now it's our time to do the kicking.

Oh no well known passionate liberal green arrow is being passionately liberal,whatever shall we do?!Curse the writer for bringing back a big part of his character,we want bland arrow batman instead

cringe

>the Right is on the rise, we're sick of the left-wing brownshirts. The average joe has the right to get pissed off, because now it's our time to do the kicking.
I'm right-wing as fuck but you cretinous opportunists make me ashamed to be associated with the whole deal.

The Sinestro Corps introduced the ability for Green Lantern's to kill with their rings.
Which bought up some issues related to police and justifiable homicide and the responsibility that comes with such tools(this was years before BLM so it wasn't that political).

You'd think with the success of Steven Universe, despite being tumblr as fuck, these hacks would realize that being subtle is very important.
This is fucking painful to read, what the fuck is wrong with people? It's not even that it's politics I disagree with, it's just plain bad writing.

You couldn't get your candidate to win the popular vote for 15 years now. This isn't a rise, it's a dead cat bounce. The sooner you guys accept that, the easier it'll be for all of us.

>>pol complains about a liberal character being liberal

The strange thing is that I remember Green Lanterns killing with their rings before that. Hal Jordan as Parallax - for example - kills Kilowog. I'm pretty sure there are multiple other examples of people killing with Green Lantern Rings specifically. Or am I just misremembering?

But yeah, I didn't really see a political context. Final Crisis and Blackest Night aren't political, either. Technically, Miles wouldn't be political if his blackness wasn't repeatedly shoved in your face.

> You couldn't get your candidate to win the popular vote for 15 years now.

Literally playing a game no-one else was playing. We've hit peak Leftism, and the people said "No, fuck off." In four years, your kind will be extinct.

More importantly, it didn't matter. It was completely forgotten as soon as SCW ended.

Brexit, Trump, soon Frexit, and now Germany kicking Merkel to the curb in the coming election. You are delusional if you think the right wing isn't on the rise, and guess who signed the world over to them?

Virtue signaling racists like you, who want equality of outcome instead of equality of opportunity. You're in for a rude awakening if you think you stand a chance. I don't know you personally, and I don't wish you any harm, I'll be praying that you wake up before you get swept up in the coming carnage.

...

Difference is the left wasn't bat shit insane back then.
If that scene was made today the two guys mentioned would be Travon Martin and Michael Brown and it would include shaming Green Latern for being a white male

>good white man
wouldnt have been used in 2016

Ollie being a liberal commie is completely in-character for him, and Canary's just taking the piss. This book has taken shots at SJWs before.

Can any of you pol fucks explain how this is out of character,Oliver's always been a bleeding Heart liberal

>Taking a shot at our glorious Nero

Into the trash it goes!

kekd hard

Jesus, history really does repeat itself, except more retarded each time.

Guess I'm not buying DC anymore either. I never was a big fan though, so that is no huge loss.

I was buying 25+ Marvel comics until early this year. Now I'm buying 0, because of shit like this.

Enjoy having a third of the comic shops in the US close within Q1 of 2017. Disney and Warner will have gutted these places by the end of 2018.

So in all your years of reading you JUST now realising Ollie is a bleeding liberal?

>Comics
>Dominated by soulless capeshit
>Full of SJW pandering
>Same characters from 100 years ago being ruined by modern writers

>Manga
>Experimental
>No one force dominates the mark
>Most series are only written by one guy, keeping consistency and respect
>No tumblr pandering

Feels good to be m/a/ster race

>Trump
>Actually having the economic interests of the working class at heart.

You know whos all about the working class?
Communists. but you're such a fucking dumb ass you've let 60 years of movies where the sexy russian lady tries to kill the hero poison your mind

Didn't people say the samething about the right a few years back? Honestly this is just the political pendulum swinging. And after a few years probably 12 or so it will start swinging left again.

Basically this. I also realized that manga generally doesn't shy away from adult content. For instance, stuff like Lady Death, Vampirella or whatever - they're tease comics. You'll never see the heroines having explicit sex. But there's plenty of manga which are basically soft-porn, or are extremely explicit about adult content.

You say that yet I doubt you're posting from China
>China isn't real communism!
It never is comrad, it never is.

Ollie has always been absurdly liberal.

Anyone who doesn't know this doesn't know shit about Green Arrow. Probably a bunch of showfags.

Communism's bullshit. It's been tried, it's failed catastrophically. It's in the dustbin, along with National Socialism, comrade.

No-one's dumb enough to try THAT again because everyone knows it does not work.

Like I said: Not a big DC fan. Bought Bat books inconsistently.

He's a man. He was expressing his opinion. It requires a woman's forgiveness since to do so is an affront to decency.

Not to mention the art on average is infinitely superior despite a lot of these series coming out on a weekly basis.

Also better variety in stories.

>Expecting Sup Forums to be reading comics since long.
You know how newfag most of Sup Forums is just by the influx of characterfags, plebbitors and cbrfags.

While it doesn't matter for a fictional character, there is a ideological difference between liberal and progressive. That of course doesn't change the fact many, (most?) liberals transitioned without much of a fight but you can't be both. Despite what they try to label themselves as.

Trump doesn't give a fuck about the average joe you spastic.

Ollie has always been a crazy liberal. Within minutes of meeting GL he called hm a Facist.

Though I will say the current run would benefit from a more conservative character to balance him out. As a Military guy Diggle could fit into the position easily.

Breaking your balls brohiem. Im not a communist.
Pls dnt mcrthy me

But you've spent the better part fo the last 70 years shitting yourself at the mere mention of anything vaguely socialistic and swallowing anti union horseshit by the Gallon.

Then you bitch and moan when the working class suffers and worship the very people bending you over.

its pathetic.

No-one actually thinks that Trump does. What they do know, however, that Trump is a sledgehammer to the face of the Left.

Everything's changed. Have you heard of BLM stirring up shit after Trump became President-Elect? Read about more police shootings? More agitation to do something for the por favor people in Syria?

Of course not. That's all over.

Yes. Reduce the work force by 60 million or more and you really give the survivors job security.

Green Arrow is a shit character, always has been and always will be. We're just at a point where the language the writers use is so contemporary and meaningless that it comes across as gibberish.

>>/leftypol/
but that said there are millions of people in this world and the next who would wring your basement-dwelling neck if you told them communists cared about anything other than total control

Speaking personally, the difference I'm seeing here is one of self-loathing. Oliver has a problem with white people being around. He takes no issue with being told he needs to be forgiven for expressing his thoughts because he's a man.

I don't see classic OIlie as the sort of guy who would be into this distaste for whiteness and maleness that we're seeing on display here. It's very trendy among young teenagers these days, but coming from a grown man like him who ought to have a bit of pride and self-confidence and be able to see past the banality of this type of identity politics it comes across as insincere and inauthentic.

Actually, that's a really good point. Manga ends: This isn't to say that they all have good endings, but they do end and the change is permanent.

Like, the different versions of Batman are wildly inconsistent because there are different writers. He's going to be still chasing the Joker when we're all dead and gone.

Even a crappy shonen manga like Naruto or Bleach has a conclusive ending, and the ending is the creator's vision. I mean, you might not like it, but it's the same guy at the wheel until the end and you're not going to have repeats.

Green Arrow has always been basically "Batman, but really lame."

If you thing the right wing will maintain it's momentum now that Donald "Drain the Swamp" Trump has taken his mask off and revealed himself as the Swamp Thing and that it's slowly sinking in what a terrible idea Brexit actually is, you're the crazy one.

"Change" is coming in the sense that the neoliberal political framework of the West is being rejected and replaced with a more social democratic one. It means some right wing ideas, like nationalism, are getting a big comeback, but it also means the banks are going to get strangled and that social justice will if anything be even more pervasive than before

>Standing for nothing other than spiting your enemy

Puerile. It's so much easier for them to be against something with shallow contrarianism, but none of them know what they're for. Enjoy your partisan shit-flinging preventing progress on any front.

>Temujin
>cheap punk

lmao this writer really was full of himself huh

> your basement-dwelling neck

But I live in a van
No really. I live in a fucking van.

Ah, but he's popped the cork on nationalism. The neoliberal dream is dead. Politicians now realize that people can't hold hands and live in harmony: your voters will fucking turn on you. We're going back to the good ol' days of "Fuck you guys, got mine."

You're both right,

Thats why Theres no way this shit ends before a whole lot of people bleed.

Neoliberalism has been a right wing idea that was enforced on the left from the start.

Good. I just want you guys to know: I work for the Trump administration in Washington D.C. Yes, I was one of his staffers and I was there from the start.

And yes, a lot of us are doing this out of sheer spite. I look forward to being one of Trump's Dark Jedi, his brownshirts, his Lion's Guard.

That isn't actually the case, despite what the above said. We stand for alot. We represent change. A chance at what might've otherwise been a lost cause to save western civilization.

But that is just the hope. We need these last twenty some odd days to hurry up and get over with. Obama isn't acting like a lame duck, he's doing as much by fiat as he can legally get away with.

I look forward to seeing his entire legacy fall away.

As someone who rolls in the DIY punk scene allow me to say we're fucked.

Navel gazing hedonistic shits the lot of them

how the hell is this thumbelina? where are the singing frogs?

>Even a crappy shonen manga like Naruto or Bleach has a conclusive ending
til they decide to make something like Boruto

Emerald Twilight featured a lot of instances of a new writer who didn't know the "rules" of what the rings can and can't do or should and shouldn't be allowed to do, one of the reasons Hal fans were so pissed off about Parallax is because it didn't just turn their favorite into a bad guy, it was poorly written to boot.

For example, the entire reason Hal goes on his rampage is because the Guardians have told him "you're not allowed to use the ring for recreation, report to Oa to be punished" and he's like "Fuck you, buddy."

Well that's never been a rule before or since. Kyle and Guy especially use their rings to make food and chicks in bikinis and other purely recreational shit all the time.

>fuck off and stop being a space cop
>so what the Gurrak's are genociding and raping the T'tkans of E539's moon colonies
>but AMERICA isint happy

jesus fucking christ ollie did you really just #allworldsmatter to hal
the idea that in all the galexy americas moral problem is somehow the biggest fucking deal

why does that make me so fucking angry, its not even the biggest problem in the world let alone the continent.

>taking a shot at ghengis kahn
>being so scared of strong goverment that you get none
>surprised when with no state to curtail monopolies the institution becomes an oligarchy instead of a republic

The only stupid thing on this page is Dinah saying "mansplaining." All of Ollie's dialogue is 100% in line with his character for the last couple decades.

Sup Forums was a mistake.

The only times I heard the word "mansplaning" it had something to do with comics.

>Fair enough, but multiple stories are less so. Warren Ellis' Moon Knight is apolitical
Uh

It's more like Hiro was a mistake. Moot said he'd delete Sup Forums if it became Stormfront 2.0 like /new/ did when it was introduced. But moot's gone, so.

Ahahaha. If it takes one liberal as fuck comic character JOKING about her liberalism to get rid of you then I'm glad you're fucking gone. Good riddance.

That art is fucking horrendous

This almost comes across a parody written by a right-winger. But then you remember liberats really are this ham-fisted and retarded.

Yes. I literally still hear about all of those things. It is not over and things are only getting more ridiculous and violent you fucking monkey.

How are people upset that OLIVER FUCKING QUEEN is a social justice warrior? That has been his persona since the 70s. He is allowed to say shit like this. He would actually believe it. There is no problem having a character say this. Note that I said A CHARACTER. When people bitch, usually about Marvel, its because you see shit like this in every book, from every character's mouth, no matter the person, no matter the context. That is annoying. But this? This is just one guy. So shut the fuck up.

Ollie is in character.
An editor letting "mansplaining" in like it's a real word is shit.

It's not muh Dinah.

your example definitely doesn't benefit your statement

>mfw we live in the most wild timeline
8 years of butthurt from comic book writers, can't wait

It's a joke, you idiot.

>it's a Communism is in the working class interests episode
For
Fucks
Sake
Sup Forums

>a character using a sexist way of claiming someone is condescendingly explaining something she already knows is a "joke"
Not very funny.

Man, I'd be surprised if Trump actually makes it to the next election. If he does,well, he won because nobody actually went out to vote. Now the left is gonna galvanize itself to bring him down and the right is going to abandon him once it becomes clear he has no intention of bringing Washington to heel. Now that he's actually in power, Trump is his own worst enemy.

That's... not even what mansplaining is?

The only way that works is if you take "mansplaining" to mean "a man explaining something", which would be just... terrible in a dozen different ways?

Well that's in the eye of the beholder. But that doesn't diminish it's intention as a joke.

>having ""communism"" without abolishing classes first

I have a pamphlet you for somewhere around here.

... Wait, are you trying to take a shot at the left or the right?

>Is there a way we can eventually reclaim comics from these motherfuckers?
Reclaim Green Arrow from...liberals?

user, are you brain damaged, or just a Sup Forumslack who doesn't know better?

The districts alone mean it'll be very hard for the left to make gains in 2018.

He's explaining something she's already aware of. Isn't that the base definition? She's also kidding around with him.

Now you're getting it.

Missing the point:the thread

Actually yes. What news channels are you watching?

A man opresses women merely by existing. Everything he is or does is oppressive, by which logic if a man opens his mouth, he's mansplaining and should be silenced.
