Shut up and go do the supper, your man must be arriving from work,

That's hot

AMAZONS WERE BLACK THEY CAME FROM AFRICA WHEN WILL YOU SHITLORDS LEARN REEEEEEEEEE

WE WUZ AMAZUNZ!

Was this actually a controversy or we just making stuff up now?

Doesn't this ever get tiresome? To make posts like this all day every day?

I don't hate this

None that I know of, but it's not exactly unlikely.

That's Nubia right? She seems fairly cool

Nubia is a real character

I'd like to see more of the E-23 one

... that's pretty hot.

Those shadows make her look like she has a beard.

>black men
>working
>coming home to their wives

Haha.

and her hair has changed a few times, I think it was curly like in the OP in Multiversity

I'm not sure how many black men are into this. or black women for that matter. Kwanzaa isn't even that popular

Well, ACKSHYOOULLY, one possible location of Themyscira in history was in Egypt.

In DC the Amazons of Bana-Mighdall DID settle in Egypt, but were closer to middle eastern ethnically.

There are also several black Amazons because they're reincarnations of slain women from throughout ancient times, not ethnically Greek. Hippolyta's guard/lover, Philippus, being the most notable.

Twin sister formed dark from clay in earth one

>was in Egypt.
Which wasn't black either.

Knowing Morrison the E-23 origin is probably similar though I assume she simply stayed on the island and won the tournament instead of Diana

you could consider reading the entire sentence there

What is "it's the current year" supposed to mean?

Look, it's plainly obvious that the Amazons of DC are based off the writings of Herodotus which would place them anywhere from Anatolia to Scythia. The Thermodon is in northern Turkey near the Black Sea, and Scythia is modern Ukraine. The actual Themiscyra was on the westernmost tip of Turkey near Greece. Both Herodotus and Strabo state that after a defeat in battle, the Amazons sailed to Scythia and perhaps even moved further north towards the Caucasian Mountains. Amazon's would be Mediterranean or Aryan super women.

I know, but people who believe they WUZ KANGS could argue that there's some foundation for Amazons being black, historically. But it's not like history has anything to do with DC's Amazons.

Epic maymay about people saying like "It's 2016, get with the times" in reference to any kind of racism or sexism. It evolved to just be [current year].

Canonically, yes, before moving to Paradise Island the Amazons lived near the Black Sea.

Everything else you say is not true in the DCU. The Amazons were immortals created by the gods from the clay of the Black Sea and the souls of slain women from throughout history.
The Amazons of Bana-Mighdall were a tribe that split off from the original Amazons, gave up their immortality and wandered around Europe, breeding with men and adopting aspects of other religions and cultures before settling in Egypt. They're drawn with brown skin like Middle Easterners and the men they keep in their breeding stables are Middle Eastern.

>"It's 2016, get with the times"
No I understand CURRENT YEAR as a parody of that sentiment, but I don't understand that sentiment itself.

>DC amazons
>based off myth

Have you not read anything dealing with them?

It's retarded, but the idea is just "enlightened" white people thinking we're far past racism and any racists should get with the times and be hip like them.

The thought that racism ad sexism should have died out. Largely believed by ndiots who thought the Civil Rights Movement/MLK killed all hatred.

Less controversy, more, people who read one antropology text, and didn't understand it at all but just used it to promote whatever stupid shit they wanted to in the first plac..

We're talking about a fringe subset of the "Egyptian is a black kingdom" people. When THOSE people think you're a weirdo, you know you're off the deep end.

Pic related. It's the antrho book that people are misreading.

While [Current Year] is mocking its use in social issues the sentiment is actually used for a lot of things that you'd expect to have changed by now. For instance "Why doesn't Nintendo have proper online features yet? It's 2017!" or "It's 2017, why does my doctor's office still use paper records?".

Progressivism is the Marxist belief in the historical inevitability of communism.

No, I'm not strawmanning it. They actually believe that the world gets more left wing every year, and if it doesn't, it's as freakish as a river flowing backwards.

Out and out Marxism was extremely common in universities for most of the 20th century, and the mental habits of Marxism remain even in many university radicals who are reluctant to "go that far," even if they still believe that universal global socialism is inevitable, they no longer believe in lifting a finger to speed the process along (i.e. they are strictly Che Guevara cheerleaders, and no longer talk about building barricades and starting a revolution. A revolution would interrupt brunch, and their macbook might get smashed.)

Animated video thread related.

Yeah it's much more this than a SJW specific thing

The fuck is happening?

>men are just mutated women lol
Then we conquered the women

DC is for racists dudebros she would NEVER be a WWoC

Both our are shit but at least Marvel's fun to be around.

It's funny how many of the Marvel books that image mentions sold like dogshit and/or got cancelled.

This triggers me more than it should...

and DC has plenty of diverse books that sell well enough to stick around

So does Marvel I guess, that's not the point though, the point is that whoever made that pic chose the most unfortunate set of examples possible.

BLAKC ANTROPOLOGICAL HISTORY IS HAPPENING.

Is this a satire or?

Cyborg, New Super Man, Superwoman, and Blue Beetle are the their lowest main books and are gonna be the first cancelled at like #18 lol

I honestly don't know. But it's a thing of beauty. And by beauty I mean that as I mean Xavier is an angel/

it needs updating with stuff like
>suicide squad was the harley movie, had a female villain, and amanda fucking waller
>dc's fourth movie was wonder woman, captain marvel will be the 21st marvel movie
>simon baz is a muslim green lantern, a year before kamala was introduced
>midnighter and apollo, batman and superman expy's, were married 10 years before northstar
>lesbian batwoman headlined the comic the company is named for

dc's always been progressive, they just didn't go on the view to make people give a shit

New Super-Man is going to stay, Yang is a bigger seller in bookstores than any other author DC employs

I wish people would study more biology. Shit's fascinating. Sex (in bacteria) started out completely divorced from reproduction.

DC is liberal, Marvel is progressive. They are different states of mind.

Reminder that New SuperMan was SHUT OUT of best new book, in favor of Faith and Mockingbird.

How did Ares kill Zeus?

I can't accept it

So I've had this Nubia idea where she's made from the ash of Amazon's that died fighting off Hercules and the army of Troy. She's brought to life by Circe's magic and Philippas blood. Circe also added an extra spell that would make Nubia more and more aggressive until she lead a revolt to try and take over the world of man. Her and Philippa battle and she is locked away and the Amazon's that fought with her are exiled. Those Amazon's become the Bana. Circe years later comes to free Nubia and tell her that her sisters have been waiting on her. She eventually fights Diana and with the lasso of truth breaks free of Circe's spell. Soooooooo what do y'all think?

New Super Man is clearly wrapping up.
The last couple issues have crammed stuff in and the artist left to a Superman title that actually sells.
