Alaois posted:Super researchers of BSS, when did the term "cheesecake" to refer to sexualized art of women come into use in the comics fandom, or just the general world at large? Because that's the word I tend to associate with what anime/manga fans refer to as "fan service".

This will really show those people I just gave my money to.

Unlucky7 posted:Forgive me if this is the wrong place to ask, but I have always wondered if there was a name for the type of double think that exists in most Us vs Them narratives like GooberGrate and other similar collectives; That portrays Them as shadowy, ultracompetent, and all powerful, but also obvious, incompetent, and ineffective that Us, the Genius Goodbrain Underdogs, can easily undercut Them (Until, of course they can't).  It's from Umberto Eco's famous essay on the traits of fascism, a key one of which is portraying one's enemies as simultaneously stupid and weak and hapless AND vicious and cunning and powerful. “Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak."

The next round of Marvel movies and TV shows puts women and people of color front and center. Wandavision, Black Panther II, Shang-Chi, She-Hulk, Lady Thor, Black Widow, Falcon as Captain America, Ms. Marvel, Kate Bishop/Hawkeye - Marvel is betting very heavily on non white dudes as the next big thing. We'll be hearing from these dumb clowns for a long, long time.

They all suck at business. We know this because they were Dunning-Kruger stupid enough to try and build a livelihood on top of their belief that there's this huge market for "non-SJW" comics out there just waiting to hand their money over to creators who make a point about not being "woke". No surprise that someone dumb enough to start with that belief would also suck at every other aspect of running a self-publishing comic concern (printing, shipping, customer service, even penciling and inking 24 pages).

I always figured Black Panther was just Kirby/Lee taking an old pulp trope (deep in the jungle there is this lost, isolated ancient civilization) and putting a twist on it (...that is actually high-tech with flying cars and computers and poo poo), flipping the script on who the actual primitives were.Edge & Christian posted:Also it's obviously cherry-picked, but the initial letter column response to Black Panther debuting is kind of fascinating; there are some negative letters, but pretty much every one is negative in a way that suggests that the FF book has been going downhill with all these lame new characters like Galactus, Silver Surfer, Black Panther, etc. Bring back the classic FF characters! If you go back to the 1990s USENET archives and look up alt.tv.simpsons postings, you'll see people panning all of the classic episodes when they were first aired. Whose idea was it to make an entire show about a stupid monorail? Bart didn't tell anyone to eat his shorts even once! I'm through with this show!

When Warren Ellis had his online forum, he only gave mode powers to women, and he'd refer to them collectively as his "deadly sexy henchwomen" and things like that. Him being a sex pest is the least surprising news imaginable. e: vvv Wood (a good friend and collaborator of Ellis) would hit on women inappropriately, and try to drive them out of the industry if they turned him down. Gotta love the headline on this article: Brian Wood accused of sexual misconduct (again) FMguru fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Jun 16, 2020 |

Moore is a sex weird but not a sex pest. He's not on the internet, doesn't go to conventions, and barely leaves his big spoopy house. He doesn't interact with fans or colleagues, so he has no opportunities to groom them or harass them or proposition them.
