This will never work. Comics are far too niche of a medium for mainstream journalists and TV hosts to take any interest in. If video games would not be one of the most profitable segments of entertainment industry, gamergate would be utterly ignored as well.
Another element going against journalists' narrative of comics gate is that their sensibilities dominate the medium. Big two and many indie publishers purged "wrong thinkers," "female objectification" and "misoginy" are nearly completely absent, vast majority of people working in the industry are left wing, and there are far too many comics filled with progressive preaching. If any outsider looks at the situation, it will seem like a tempest in a teapot propelled by journalists themselves.

>The Pravda Press
Is that how these Polygon, CBR, and Bleeding Cool hacks call themselves? If so that's pretty ironic. Besides, why do they attempt to co-opt surface elements of Russian arts and language? Most Russians are disgusted by them, and people like that are used as examples of western degeneracy.
I just hope that Americans will stay away from Slavic mythology and folklore. Whenever they touch it, it ends up subpar to say the least. Good amount of it is strongly tied to nationalism, and hopefully that and language barrier will keep it safe.

What's funny about this article is that none of their ire seems directed toward Marvel, even though Marvel is putting the kibosh on their hastag books, leaving the likes of Gabby Riveria out of a job.
I guess they realized how fucking futile it was to go up against the Big Two and so decided to complain about internet nerds.

I have to admit, he has a point. September 11th is now a national holiday where legacy media halts whatever it is doing and whinges for a day about "Remembah da 3000 goyim those mean turrists just hated our FREEDOMS never forget you need to blindly support the endless desert wars or these people died for NOTHING"
But, as a public figure you can't say things like that and expect to emerge unscathed.
Judging by his politics, he probably hates September 11th because it 'marginalizes the struggles of POC' or some asinine shit

Not really. You don't have to live in New York or have lost someone in the attacks to feel for the victims. What he said is basically the National tragedy version of those twats who, when a public figure or celebrity dies, says 'You didn't know [person]. You have no right to be upset'.
>legacy media halts whatever it is doing and whinges for a day about "Remembah da 3000 goyim those mean turrists just hated our FREEDOMS never forget you need to blindly support the endless desert wars or these people died for NOTHING"
Mainstream media being obnoxious hypocrites doesn't diminish the tragedy or indicate that it shouldn't be remembered and observed.

This is the right answer here, in my view. I didn't have fuck-all to do with anybody involved in 9/11, but it's still a major tragedy that cost thousands of lives and should be given some degree of reverence. Playing it up for political gain, harping on it to drum up patriotic sympathies, and waxing melodramatic like they do in the media are all fucking disgusting, but that doesn't mean we have to throw the baby out with the bathwater like Aubrey Sitterson has.

There's so many books for minorities, but for them to be successful, minorities need to buy all of the books. However, minorities don't want to buy 40+ books a month, they just want one or two good titles.
It feels like they're dancing around the fact that Marvel flooded the market with crap diversity books, which is why the books themselves are failing.

I honestly wouldn't give a fuck if there were 500 books a month starring black crippled trannies as three things happened.
1) These books stopped getting treated as sacred cows that you can't hate, mock, or even dislike without being called a bigot.
2) The books weren't solely about just how black, crippled, and trans the characters were.
3) Not every book had have some SJW approved character.
None of that shit will ever happen, because SJWs can't stop virtue signalling, soap boxing, and are never happy.
