That sounds about right

Yep. It's what happens when you spend years hiring based on 'diversity' checkboxes instead of actual talent at crafting stories.
Literally the only thing these hacks are CAPABLE of doing is 'diversity' stories, because THEY HAVE NO TALENT. DC and Marvel are cesspools of 'diversity', where anybody with ACTUAL talent stays as far away as possible and making bank writing independently.
Read manga not comics
7th "first gay character" thing is just hilarious.
But, but, but this this one is gayer than the other ones
AAAAAAHHHHH!!!! PAAAAAIIIINNNN!!!!!!
I broke my hand yesterday because of the hate comments I get all the time. I was so angry that I punched a hole in my computer. Please don't hate me, dear toa
They all want to be the first to do something no one ever asked for. I couldn't wait for them to fail miserably and go broke.

He's Supergay! Now I never have to buy another comic. Actually this thing might be a collectors item because all of them will be in trash cans across America.
The irony for me that as an African, I've never seen any proper or well thought out representation of African society in any cartoon, comic, anime and manga. And yet, this has never reduced nor even remotely affected my enjoyment of these things
That's because you're a sane, well-adjusted individual that doesn't need your fictional characters to be mirror images of you for them to resonate with you, I would imagine.
As an African, I just share your thoughts... I love Deadpool so much but he is like huh- white? Why will I get forced to love a black superhero? Because I'm black? These kind of people are just racist over the top, talking about culture appropriation is one the most hidden racist thing I've ever met... So because someone non-african is wearing a traditional african mask that I don't even wear myself once, that makes this person appropriating my culture? Like I'm supposed to wear African mask in my daily life?
Exactly. I feel this way too.
As a Mexican I always related to Peter Parker, I didn't really think about the fact that he was white until Miles Morales Appeared, It was neat but in the end I never saw them for their Race or sexuality or anything
I'm a Scotsman, yet I'm constantly reading manga (for reasons that have been made obvious by this video) and in spite of the fact that most of the characters are Japanese I identify with them.
Manga is keeping bookstores alive. Literally. I remember when manga only had a single shelf at every bookstore for niche buyers. They have entire sections of entire series now in every store I go into.
I know it’s a year ago, but in the bookstores I go to, the comics are always like near the back as a thing for people who don’t have anything better to read
@@Ghost49590 still go to bookstores maybe it's because my country isn't big on anime and stuff but you'd be lucky to get a shelf for it. hell bookstores are replacing electronic shops they are so popular in my area

It is pretty telling that Dark Horse and Image are the top earners for my local comic shop.
"Superman cares about the ice caps melting!"
He could literally re-freeze the ice caps if he wanted to. Sus.
Not only that but he could go to africa and help cool the climate so more, and different types of, food can grow while doing the opposite in Russia to acchive their food supply at the same time.
I don't think the current generation and woke activitivists actually understand that social media isn't the real world.
This same shit happened with Brexit, there were *more* young people who supported not leaving the EU but they never bothered to go out and vote so the *fewer* elderly won and Brexit began, guess who was complaining after all this went down as if they learnt nothing in the aftermath.

New superman is imposter, I'm calling it.
Hey he represents me completely with doing nothing but standing outside and holding a sign for my twitter stop being ignorant 😂😂

Imagine having a character with as many powers as Superman and you decide to write a story about them participating in a climate protest of all things.
Funny how all of North America seems to be enjoying Squid Games, despite the lack of representation for 98% of people. 🤔
gee. it is like representation isn't the end all be all for making good characters.
@@crazypissman6721 Representation is a slippery slope. There are so many different cultures and ethnicities from all over the world that make up less than 1% of the American population. Making the minorities be catered to not small. If representation is soooo important to these people many of these cultures should be represented so that we have superheroes for EVERYONE.
I wasn't a fan, but I can tell you exactly why people are being drawn into that one and it's the same reason why comics are bombing, it's all about the story. If you like it, then the show is for. I understand why people like it even though it's not for me.
What does Squid Game have that the comic book industry doesn’t have? I mean besides an original concept, fantastic writing, compelling characters, flawed women, smart men, interesting character dynamics, subtle foreshadowing, and a nuanced political message that doesn’t come across as ham-fisted or preachy.
Weird how you can relate to people who arent 100% like you all the time

Well. With the rate that western media entertainment is falling your bound to find something better. Alot of the rest of the world isn't pandering yet. Shoot. You might even find those low budget African fighting movies more entertaining.

the fact that one guy is holding a "there's no planet b" sign when there literally is an earth 2 in the DC Universe
And aliens from all across the universe come and go to Earth like it's a glorified rest stop.

Tom Taylor: “everyone deserves to see themselves in their heroes.”
Taking it a bit literal arn’t we?
I personally detest the notion that you can't see yourself in a character unless they share your religion/race/ethnicity/sexuality/sex or whathaveyouever. That speaks to an intensely shallow mindset.
Actual character is irrelevant to these people, only superficial traits matter.
My mom somewhat did this when I was growing up. I wanted dress like Sleeping Beauty because she was pretty and wore pink. But "sweetie, we're black. Don't you want to be Jasmine or your own princess?"
No mom. I wanted to be sleeping beauty. It didn't matter that we look different. She was cool.
(Tiana wasn't a thing then, but even if she was I still would have liked sleeping beauty. I even told her one day I liked Jasmine better to make her feel better. This is soooo petty, I know, but the memory still sticks)

I’m honestly thankful about the downfall of mainstream comics. If we didn’t get the SJW takeover I never would have searched out fantagraphics, Ec comics, underground cartoonists, 90s outlaw comics or French comics. So thanks SJWs for allowing me to realize there was way better books out there!
Lot of good French series. :)

He really was the Man.

"If everyone is Gay and Black, then no one is."

Haha I so wanna hear a Syndrome impressionst say this
I love how zoomers nowadays seem to make such a big deal out of genders when honestly normal people doesn't really give a shit who u identify as for a completely normal and valid reason. Literally why should u make someone give a fuck about ur gender politics and why should people care about if ur gay or not? I thought a person's actions and personality is what really defines u as someone and not cause "I denounce my gender norms jotaro!"
See I hate it when stories tell me what to feel rather than letting me figure out what's good on my own.
Ikr, I'm being your friend because your personality, not your gender 😅
No zoomer thinks like this.
I think what's weirder is when you clarify that you're straight some kids my age give you a funny look like either your privileged or that you're like you're a lost puppy. This definitely doesn't happen a'lot but when it does I feel extremely judged.
@@ghostchill2722 its ironic that they claim they dont want to feel judged yet they do the same thing to straights by calling them "cisgendered" or "incels". Many things feel so backwards nowadays
“I’m tired and I’m a minority”… holy shit I felt that
7:00
I don't want to see myself in my heroes. That's why they're my heroes, because they're better than me; someone I can aspire to be like.
any one can run up a burning building or take a bullet for someone but to be attracted to guys and girls=true heroism
And on that point, how does any entertainment transcend its original culture if people can only enjoy what they see themselves in? Why is it that Spider-Man, Batman, and Superman are known all around the world when all of them are straight, white, and male? How did anime and manga get popular in the West when Japanese people are a minority in these regions? Clearly the people that loved these things before this "diversity and inclusion" push didn't need to have someone that looked like them to have fun, yet people who don't tend to even buy the products do.
Now they write them so pathetically that YOU feel like the hero instead
Came here to say this. How fucking narcissistic is it to see yourself in them?
Superman is literally an invulnerable flying alien with super strength and laser eyes. I don't see how making him bisexual is going to make him relatable to anyone.
Im sticking with manga/anime. Good luck yall.
Big same. And Japanese artist don't pander like american comic artist.
@Evan Douglas mostly because american cartoons are just straight up trash, there's some few good ones but 90% is terribly written dogshit
whats your favorite manga?

@@codybulluss1987 sad ;~;
What I really like about Superman: Red Son's Wonder Woman is that her sexual identity is a one and done deal. A man tries kissing her, she rejects his advance, done, dusted let's be good friends.
At no point do they make her sexuality a key component of her character or feel the need to keep bringing it up. I can't recall it even being used as marketing bait to advertise the film either, its just a nice throw-away line that adds to her character without it BECOMING her character, a trait I'm concerned is happening with far too many characters in Western Media in general.
Dans didn't got angry at how they made a woman who was attracted to Batman a lesbian???
That's because the people writing all this garbage? All they have is their identity. They're that shallow.

@Some corrupted dude who's racist At this point I’m migrating to Marvel cuz uh DC got to woke and it ain’t fun anymore
Imagine having such little personality that the only people you can resonate with and understand have to look and think exactly like you
Dude 10:10 that is such a great allegory for the government. The people who have the power to bring about change, actually don't do anything but walk around with a sign saying "We Need Change".
My favorite part about that picture of Superman holding the climate change sign is that he's completely ignoring the giant squid monster killing people in the background because he's protesting with some activists. The artist accidently (I assume) parodied themselves perfectly with that picture, by pointing out how absurd it is that Superman is opting to spend his time protesting about something rather than being a real hero and saving lives. Modern society is truly beyond parody at this point.
@@hisaceinthehole3426 Oh wow that's so much worse. I expect bisexual Tim Drake will being helping Poison Ivy murder loggers in the next issue then. There really are no heroes that sjws can't turn into super villains.
Who needs justice when it's all about the virtue signaling
superman can literally push earth few thousands kilometer from orbit, to cooldown the earth XD
@@sn5301679 Superman could literally make enough energy to supply the Earth for generations and the only thing he needs to do is build a kinetic energy machine (basically a system in which the only thing he needs to do is fly around at top speed while pulling a lever creating energy kinetic energy) and do this for 50 years without stopping (not like 50 years mean anything in the life of kryptonite anyways) and he would have solved climate change, energy crisis worldwide, lots of unnecessary wars etc.
there's something so enlightening about how they portray the most powerful demigod of a superhero as doing something so pointless and performative. They don't view holding a sign and protesting to be a means to get people to take meaningful action. They view it as the meaningful action itself, like holding the sign is doing something on it's own. The activism has no inherent value it's a way to signal to the world that an issue is present and bring attention to it but then someone's supposed to put down the sign and actually get to solving the fucking problem. Protests are essentially festivals for socialist hipsters from portland now. No meaning, no coherence, no wit, no nothing.
"Our comic sales are down!"
"How do we sell to people?"
"Sell to the WOKE community!"
It's funny how these hot shot marketing gurus that they employ think that someone makes choice of buying a videogame, comic, or any other media based not on preference of this specific media, but instead by their own political inclination and sexual preferences.
Who likely have no money by the way.
reminds me of the mayor in south park telling cartman that bringing hippies into town will bring money into the community to which cartman angrily exclaims "HIPPIES DONT HAVE MONEY!!!"
Which don't even care about comics
And this is why target audiences matter not some minorities who's entire existence is irrelevant.
"If you don't like my politics don't buy my book"

To be honest, I’ve never had a problem with a character being made bisexual, gay or even transgender. My problem is SJW and Feminist think that’s the be all and end all when making a character. Caring more for things that are frivolous and not creating characters that are flawed and grounded.
That kind of half assed representation has done nothing but problems. Might as well not write any if You can't even write good characters first.
@@necrosteel5013 Exactly.
agreed
they shouldn't be made bisexual. They should have been bi to begin with instead of making retcons.
I just don't like the fact that they took already established characters and just completely changed them on a whim. Here's the thing with me if they want a bisexual or gay superhero simply create one and pitch it.
11:14 Guy with the sign that says "There's no Planet B" is literally standing next to a half alien guy.

Seriously, there ARE a lot of good fanfics out there that are WAY better than this tripe.
John Clark protesting despite having the ability to do something highlights this generation's main issue: Virtue Signaling. Sure, many of them have the ability to at least practice what they preach, but it requires energy, effort, and possibly sacrificing something they like; instead, they'd rather make it look like they care, and that is good enough for everyone in their bubble. And then they wonder why nothing ever gets better.
Wonderfully put. Couldn't have said it better
I don't think so. These people write themselves in the comics. They write what they would do if they had such power. That is why all the SJWs do is write villains. These are trained sociopaths that have no independent thoughts (NPCs). They have been told by schools that only X is acceptable and anyone saying otherwise is the most evil creature to ever live, worse than Mister Mustache from WW2. There is no creativity because once you need to start explaining things their dogma becomes nonsensical.
I mean think about it: how much better of a story line would it be if the world governments were planning on moving their entire civilization/people to another planet and starting over again (because there are other planets in DC universe). For the sake of them not being super evil they intend to take everyone and leave no one behind, even the poor. THEN have Superboy convince people to stay and make their home better rather than abandon it. Don't even write the governments as evil, just lazy or desperate. Instead.... we get boyfriends that can not spell holding up signs with their pink hair.....
Meanwhile, you spend your time writing youtube comments.
@@imarchello There's a difference between virtue signaling and pretending to care, and pointing out the hypocrasy of others and not giving a damn. I ask you, what sounds worse, someone pretending to care to get praise and a pat on the back, or the guy who calls out those people's bs and exposes their sinister narcissism?
I'd almost think that Superman's virtue signaling when he has the ability to enact change was clever satire if that was what they were trying to go for. Unfortunately, we know that's not.

I'm old enough to remember when people got excited for big arcs and storylines in comics ie the death of superman, batman getting his back broken. Now the biggest arc or storyline these hacks can come up with is some character's sexuality
This
As a kid I remember being excited for the ultimate spider man series and it’s wht got me into comics
Things were so different then writers were more unfiltered and not trying to pander to anyone
But now I really can’t remember the last time I got a comic
I thought it was jus the effect of being a grown up but looking back at it I subconsciously saw these issues and started losing interest over time
@Anal Farmer Dude, Vinland saga was so good that after I was done binge watching the anime I started to binge read the manga. 😂 I'm a bit conflicted about Thorfin's change in the manga. I do like it but it sort of limits what he can do now. He's literally viking batman atm lol.
@Anal Farmer we? Nah. Dc comics is f’d
"If you can't make interesting characters just make them gay." Camp characters were so fun and interesting like in the old Disney movies and now they're ruining the LGBT movement slapping the LGBT tag on perfect boring as5 characters.
@@Benji-mv8qm daddy diesel is long gone my friend..
Pretty tired of this LGBT over representation, and the sheer lack of originality behind it.
It proves that DC favors pushing a narrative out in a short amount of time, rather than putting their hearts in a completely new story and set of characters.
Why do you only complain when a character isnt straight, when every character is straight it's fine but one gay character and you flip out
@@beastcarleeto707 Why do you assume I'm only complaining about LGBT characters?
The issue is DC puts a shallow and dramatic LGBT representation onto characters that its hard to even take the characters seriously. And same goes for Straight characters.
Manga's manage to give a better LGBT representation on characters than compared to DC and Marvel. So quit thinking I'm only locking eyes on LGBT characters because they're LGBT.
@@neonmaple5259 then what about superman's son is so problematic then? There are no gay stereotypes and it's just treated as if they were straight. Theres literally no reason to harp on his sexuality.
Unless you're speaking broadly with adding gay characters just to be gay stereotypes then I'd agree with you
@@beastcarleeto707 People aren't harping on his sexuality. But they are harping on the intent of these comic authors pushing for LGBT representation when its not really needed.
Sexuality shouldn't be the main focus of a character. To make it the main focus makes the character turn out bland and boring. And this is what Marvel and DC have been doing for a while now.
@@nateoraptor422 that is harping on sexuality because you care so much that they put a gay character in the media. A character simply just being gay and in a relationship is not a big deal and you are making it one

Facts. Don't see this bs in the new stuff. Yu Yu Hakusho was my shit growing up. U don't put shit like that in comics or anime especially when it's already got a script to follow.
Buying entertainment should be as simple as going to the store/site and grabbing it off the shelf/ordering it. Why the hell would you ever need or want a middle man/woman/deer/apache helicopter/whatever pronoun adult-child calling you a bigot while you window shop?

As someone who is bi I find it more offensive that instead of making an actual good character who happens to be bi and without making their sexuality the main premise of the character we take something I’ve grown up with and change it to make me feel “included ” it’s honestly more insulting
Black Sails is the last time I've seen "diversity" done right. I could guess the writers politics quite easily. But I can also tell the time and effort they put in actually crafting a very complicated story that made sense from beginning to end. Of course, since they created new characters instead of destroying already existing ones, no one on twitter cared about it.
I truly believe that one of the reasons they decide to change characters instead of you know be creative is to create divisions between people, they know it’ll piss of some people and will incite others to call those angry racist, homophobic yadyadyad. They had to have known this would get backlash but we live in the age of stupidity so 🤷 like I don’t need a gay hero to feel including and sorry but if you do you’re pathetic. Sorry this shit has bothered me for awhile lol
@@mr.scottie2518 yep. It's not true "diversity", unless its fighting the patriarchy.
@@mr.scottie2518 - I know a few gay people that feel the exact same way. I'm an older person and I can tell you these 2021 oppressed wokesters seem to have forgotten the seventies and the eighties where in some places gay bashing was common and practically an organised sport. Coming out thirty to fifty years ago was fucking brave. Coming out in 2021 is nothing. It is certainly not an example of bravery as we are being brow beaten into believing. I can tell you now I was much more accepting and understanding of the LGBTQ+ community decades ago. Now I just wish they would shut the fuck up and live their own lives without pissing on everything around them. I can live my life without being gushed over for how fucking magnificent and brave I am. I wish they could.

Great Video as Always, Gundam 🙂👍
I'm bi and I hate how companies pretend to care, but clearly only see us as pandering material. They'll make a preexisting character gay, or they'll make a new gay character but their whole personality is "I'm gay" I remember watching The Owl House and seeing the main character was bisexual and it felt natural, it didn't feel forced and they had an actual personality. But Disney cancelled it and they were against that character being bi.
For right i have no problem Superman being bisexual , i have a problem with him being feminine and protecting like women 💀.
Im history expert and I know for a fact bisexuality existed among men but the catch was even if they had long hair and wore mascara these men used to be hyper Masculine and strong .
I don't like the estrogenified Masculinity, i like good passionate Masculinity which people can feel comfortable around and something thats badass .
I agree, but i don't think it was fair of the the person that made this video to say tim drake was retconned. He uses tim drake having a wife and children in the future as evidence for a retcon? Bi men can marry women and have children... besides, tim was hinted at as being bi for years prior to his coming out. I think the maker of this video is a bigot, who makes SOME good points. And I don't see how superman being a power bottom on grinder (hillarious joke btw) as anything to do with his ability to fight criminals. hes acting like being gay is a handicap for being able to beat the piss out of someone. Hope he gets to learn first hand some day that that's simply not the case.

The current state of Western comics is like the automotive industry in the 70s. As the emission tightens and in the midst of the oil crisis, American manufacturers who were used to making big, gas-guzzling V8 juggernauts are now scrambling to put out a fuel effieicient car, but ended up making crudely built junks. Meanwhile, Japanese imports are making significant headways into the car market thanks to their fuel efficiency, smallness, and their build quality. This mirrors the situation mostly, except that the American car makers didn‘t explicitly told their consumers to GTFO.

I love how one larger twitter page got pissed that people said comics are failing and pulled up a chart with good numbers but...Manga wasn't its own category and instead listed under comics.

Alright well marvel and dc are failing! Easy as that.
It's fine and encouraged when they do it. Because they have the monopoly on what's right! /s

The classic audience of comic books is falling off, dying off, and the new audience doesn't give a crap about comic books. So companies try to pander, in the hopes that they somehow find out what the new audiences like about comic books.
By the looks of it by now, the old audiences are insufficient to keep the industry afloat, and the new audiences mostly care about manga, so the comic book companies are flailing around like a headless chicken, throwing shit at the walls and looking to see what sticks, NOTHING STICKS, but they still have shit to throw for now before they finally give up or go bankrupt.
