Koalas March posted:+ Miles Morales has a big fanbase, as does Ms Marvel Yeah, I think comics in general do kinda okay telling stories by reaching out to different demographics. They aren’t anywhere close to perfect but as nerd media goes comics got actually kinda okay at some minimal level of diversity compared to how it was in the 90s.

Grapplejack posted:As for the Punisher, people always paint him as this good hearted vigilante when he's seriously just an amoral monster that justifies his bloodlust via whatever he defines as "crime" at the time. I like the Punisher but I really dislike how people keep trying to whitewash the fact that he's really just a lunatic. Writers gently caress this up constantly and I don't know how, he isn't that complicated as a character. As it stands, the Punisher is a fictional character, so writers can make him whatever they need him to be to tell an interesting story. For instance, the Netflix Marvel one is pretty good and interesting and human and it's way more entertaining then some amoral villain blowing criminals away for twelve episodes.

We should give Dianne "P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act" "omnisurveillance is privacy" "Ministry of Truth" "Arabs? Kill em All" Feinstein the benefit of the doubt on flying the slavery banner, what if it was for good reasons like an honest belief that slavery is freedom.

If we don't reelect Feinstein, who will be there to uphold decorum and give bipartisan legitimacy to the L.O.Y.A.L.T.Y. Act and the W.H.A.T.A.R.E.Y.O.U.S.O.M.E.S.O.R.T.O.F.F.A.G. Act, the terrists will win!

Koalas March posted:+ Miles Morales has a big fanbase, as does Ms Marvel I'm totally a fan when they're done right, and I'm pretty sure half the reason Green Lantern the movie bombed was because the only one anyone knows and cares about these days is John Stewart. (not the talk show host) Nobody remembers Super Friends anymore. A lot of those examples are C to D-list characters from the comics who had their name and loose concept recycled and retooled into something new, since no one gave the slightest gently caress about who they were before. (weirdly enough, the original Blue Beetle probably is better known for influencing Watchmen's Nite Owl) Then there's Black Lightning, who's almost single-handedly spawned the rather odd accidental comic stereotype of black superheroes having electric powers (when it's not vague 'toughness', ala Luke Cage) due to DC creating like half a dozen serial-numbers-filed off versions of him to get around rights issues. One of the oddest comic book stereotypes, up there with how at least 90% of Catholic superheroes either have demon-themed costumes, look like demons or are demons. Although I'm not sure if this extends to Hispanic Catholics.

Also this whole screaming at people that Feinstein sucks thing is kinda dumb because no poo poo is she bad. Her district is the husk of SF after everyone decent was priced out of the city, and she's never gonna lose it no matter what flag got run up. Defending it is dumb, too. The whole thing is stupid from all angles.

I remember reading some of my evidence for a policy debate in high school and one of my pieces referencing the NMD system was a quote by Feinstein, at which point a whole group of adults in the practice area started getting pissy about "that bitch." That's rural Missouri and that's my story.

Suburban as a classification with a connection to wealth or race is becoming meaningless as suburbs change in face of gentrification in large cities. Bethesda, MD and Bladensburg, MD are very different, despite the fact that they are less than an hour away from one another and just outside Washington, DC.

Tribeca is like .5 miles from harlem and you can take a subway between the two in like a minute. Different sort of places are always physically close near cities. Being an hour away might as well be a billion miles in city terms.

Talking about the suburbs like a cogent demographic signifier makes no sense, especially in the context of gentrification of urban centers.

Google maps says they are about 30 minutes away from each other by subway. About 10 miles away.

My first reaction to that article was to think "Cornel West sees Coates as the competition." It seemed like an overly harsh article; calling him neoliberal was just cold. Coates' work is very pessimistic but that doesn't necessarily equate to wrong.
