How long before one of these fuckers unironically drop the "Fell off a guard tower" line?

Definitely not a hate group Comicsgate equates being bisexual with pedophilia and beastiality:

How do these people think this is okay? Not from a moral perspective of equating Superman being bi to pedophilia and beastiality, I know how they do that, they're terrible human beings.

But saying the company you work for is about to start promoting pedophilia and beastiality and think you'll still have a job working there? Aren't right wingers supposedly in favor of capitalism and "right to work" poo poo usually?

The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech, so if DC decides to wind down their relationship with me because of something I said, then they are violating my Constitutional rights!

They unironically believe that consequences are something that other people experience.

A good number also believe that they're part of a silent majority and they're just saying the part that everyone else is too scared to.

Mr. A era Ditko's beliefs had some in common with Objectivism, but I wouldn't call him an Objectivist. It was weirder than that.

I am, by all accounts, a boring cis white straight guy, so I do not have my finger on the pulse of what "radical sexuality and gender ideology" might look like in 2021, but I am reasonably certain that it does not look a thing like what's in modern superhero comics.

Why the gently caress would the government fund pushing "radical gender and sexuality identity"?

Like Joe Biden is probably about as friendly to lgbtq people as you can expect a man of his age and social station to be, but it's not a executive agenda to improve things for those groups. He'll automatically do stuff that has no downside, like re-instating protections Trump removed, but he ain't gonna push for sweeping change.

Also, huge waste of money to push that radical agenda through comics, since as EVS can attest, comics are a dying medium.

I've been seeing a lot of tweets by people in CG circles saying that Image Comics is on the verge of bankruptcy and I'm pretty sure they've made it up out of wholecloth. I guess it's based on the fact that they're not doing reprints any more because of rising paper prices? These tweets never go into any detail or cite sources, so who can say. :shrug:

I think if there is any company that should be able to avoid financial ruin, it's an infinitely scalable company with a small backend like Image Comics.

That was definitely the impetus for them coming out of the woodwork, but the vibe I get from these CGers' tweets is that this is a long-standing belief of theirs.

For fascists, their enemy must be simultaneously overwhelmingly powerful, but also about to topple at any moment. It's the only way their self-contradictory dogma can work. So Image Comics is one of their big, powerful foes... that will also collapse into bankruptcy aaaaaaanny second now.

CG people hate Image because it's exactly what they want to be: a group of creators who broke loose from the Big Two to get greater creative freedom and more money. (We'll ignore for a moment here that Liefeld et al jumped rather than get pushed; the CG narrative has always been somewhere between "they didn't fire me, I quit" and "they fired me because I wanted to quit".) They need Image to fail because they themselves have failed.
