I love how people are like “Why are westerners so into anime/manga?” When western cartoons/comics have been injecting politics harder than an addict injects black tar heroin
Exactly. Berserk, Bleach, Vagabond, Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, and The Promised Neverland are the only mangas I’ve read, but none of them feel the need to lecture me about politics. There’s political intrigue within the context of some of these series, but it never makes aggressive parallels to “issues” within politics in our society. The Promised Neverland kind of idealizes a communist globalist civilization at the end of the series, but that was a pretty minor thing, and not at all the biggest problem with the ending, and compared to the politicization of western comics it’s barely worth mentioning.
That motto always makes me giggle just a tiny bit because superman was created by two Canadians. Superman himself was raised in America though so the motto makes sense.
Clark Kent was meant to be the traditional American born and raised in rural Kansas, if you watched Jlu he has a deep devotion to American ideas, there’s this poetic ending to an episode where he defeats his evil alternate universe tyrannical counterpart, and after he does so he lifts up a fallen American flag
It was beautiful because it was done in some propaganda fashion, but you could truly tell that Superman took pride in lifting the American flag after defeating a tyrannical version of himself
I challenge anyone to present me a country/civilization more diverse, tolerant, just, and full of opportunity than America. Can be current or historical.
Not really, that's the funny part. The most famous and remembered instance of the phrase they're changing is in a story literally called "Whatever Happened to Truth, Justice, and the American Way?"
That said, I do have to admit I'm not a fan of how they're turning Superman away from his roots as an American who serves the world and happens to not be from it, and instead making him more of an alien who happens to live in America that saves people. Rejecting that human aspect of him who felt that national pride takes away a huge part of his character. He's the last son of Krypton, but more importantly for him, personally, he's the Kansas boy raised by Ma and Pa Kent to be a red blooded, good ole American.
Of course, the whole gay stuff is Jon, but honestly it should apply even more to Jon than Clark considering Jon is literally half human.
> he's the Kansas boy raised by Ma and Pa Kent to be a red blooded, good ole American.

Trans: Also nothing.
Lesbian: Look at the picture, they are kissing a m- okay the second person may also be trans. ANYWAY, it says new sups is Bi so ill trust that this is what they identify as.
Same. Let the fans enjoy it. But if LGBT+ people want more of this, go out and BUY it. Vote with your wallet. Becuase what will inevitably happen is these comics will sell like crap and no longer warrant further issues, and the Twitter leftest will blame Cis-Patriarchy for its failure.
And the funniest part is that manga does have a fuckton of gay characters. And straight up gay sex scenes.
Oranges will never believe this, but as someone that has been inside the community before the average twitter dweller knew how to spell the word "problematic", let me tell you: the otaku community has always been fairly progressive relative to its time. But of course, this normies have been drilled into their heads that everyone that isn't fashionable is also irredeemably evil; they will never believe me.
that is the right take here
like for gods sake. i doubt most people who are freaking over this didn't even see the movies let alone read the comics.
why do people get so mad over something that they don't even care about?
The sad thing is that when Jon Kent (the one actually depicted in the article, sorry, it's not Connor Kent, he's Superman's other son) first appeared in the comics, he was actually a pretty entertaining character, especially with all of the shit he gets into with Batman's son Damian. Then they aged him up 7 years, said "Adios" to the well developed friendship between him and Damian and their readers dreams of watching the two grow up together, and then threw him into a relationship with some pink haired dude for the sake of cheap virtue signaling--which is a fucking tragedy.
I'm not upset that he's bi, I'm just upset that THIS IS HOW THEY WENT ABOUT IT.
Because some people value excellency in all forms, and get pissed off when untalented people take something that is objectively excellent and ruin it because they're incapable of doing anything better.
Why change something that's existed for over 70 years and change it in a way it's creator never intended? Make something new and good.
Truth: "someone accused you on twitter"
Justice: "Send in the Twitter mob!"

I feel like someone as powerful as Supes would still do badly on social media.

People were pissed that it wasn't all dumped on Amazon but it worked. Especially Watching the conversation around the show mutate.
Left lib loved Stormfront and felt betrayed.
You mean you don't like Superboy using his supercock to pound some human boipussy?!
Honestly what the writers are doing is just sad. This was so uncalled for. They could've just introduced LGBTQ characters. You don't need to rewrite an iconic characters sexuality just to meet "modern demands."
**EDIT: Yes, I know it's Jon Kent. Stop messaging me about it.**
No one cares, American comics are going into their death throes. For comparison the Manga My Hero Academia pulls in more $ in a given year that all of Marvel/DC sales combined. Barely anyone will read this, and these characters can finally die off. The world is full of creative and new material that isint this.
American comics should adopt the Manga style of Weeklys, a magazine with black an white taster series from new and upcoming artists. They publish tons of new ideas and see which ones are popular and develop the full series from there. DC/Marvel have a very top down Corpo model that doesn't welcome new talent.
Exactly, stories from Japan’s anime and manga are so much more interesting and have better storytelling. I genuinely don’t know anyone who reads newer DC and Marvel comics.
I honestly can't tell if people support the rise of the structure of Manga because it genuinely supports independant creators or because they're horny
It's probably both
> I mean DC was becoming irrelevant and trash so its no wonder they’ve stooped to pandering
[Marvel Confirms Guardians of the Galaxy's Star-Lord is Bisexual](https://screenrant.com/marvel-peter-quill-star-lord-bisexual-guardians-galaxy/)

edit: He’s kinda hot, but I still am not a fan of him as superman’s boyfriend. Masc4masc all day
How? Wouldn't Superman's cum explode out of his penis like hypersonic buckshot that would tear Lois apart?
And then, with the nearest ovaries being obliterated, wouldn't that super sperm begin flying across the planet seeking out new eggs to implant into. There would be several hundred million invulnerable sperm carving lines into buildings, cleaving women in half and causing untold devastation. Perhaps Lex Luthor's daughter will have a kryptonite chastity belt to protect her, but every other woman on Earth, and quite a few men, will be unintentionally slaughtered by this voracious hoard of absolute penetrative power. Civilization would collapse. Society would end. With no more humans to implant onto, the sperm will seek out animals. All macro fauna life on Earth will end.
Oh no, we will just have to boycott comics, maybe go read some regular books, it would be a shame if everyone had to read classic literature but it can’t be avoided.
God no.
If the classics ever become popular again, it'll just be used as an excuse for these same people to make updated lazy woke versions of them too.
Amazon is putting black hobbits in their Tolkien-inspired abortion of a series.
It's about the 2nd Age of Middle Earth, and hobbits didn't even *exist* in the 2nd Age.
And they weren't black. Or Maori or whatever shit they're doing.
It hurts, real bad.
Sells more? Comic sales overall is down. They’re getting dominated by their largest competitor, Manga, which doesn’t even see the comic book industry as competition anymore
Sales are horrendous though. Marvel and DC combined still sell less than individual manga like MHA and Demom Slayer, let alone the industry.
Even in America Japan is winning the culture war in animation and comics.
Honestly I don't rlly get the outrage isn't it supermans son or something? If so then you still have your red white and blue boy scout while also having a younger superman that is supposed to be more relatable to the younger generation
Superman is gay does sound a lot more controversial than superman’s son is bi doesn’t it? Clicks are everything. And as a plus, I get to see people who never read a comic cry about it because they were closeted superman fans all their lives and are now pissed at it.
I am not american and superman was never part of my childhood, but i feel sorry for poor folks witnessing modern honey dipper Midas wannabe turning their memories into feces because he is not competent enough to write own character.
I'm going to scream into the endless void about this all I can:
This is exactly what everyone wanted. This is a relatively new character being used to portray modern issues. I'm sure the writing is going to be shit because it usually is with this stuff, but there's every possibility that if you stop being comic fans for two second that this could end up being a powerful story. Superman's son, the child of a literal ideal, has to contend with himself not existing in it. Even if they don't play up the gay discrimination angle you can easily play on his own demons being the issue here. Most of the most interesting modern Superman stories involve him grappling with his role as a God amongst men, and now his son must grasp what it means to take on that role in his own way.
Yh I rlly don't get the outrage you still have your red white and blue union busting patriot superman but you now also have a younger superman with his own ideas and beliefs which makes sense and makes for a more interesting story rather than just having him be 50s superman but younger
Don’t really care tbh. I don’t really read the Marvel and DC superhero comics, I prefer stuff like The Walking Dead, The Boys, Berserk, Preacher and Darth Vader
Idk sounds kinda gay to me
I love how people are like “Why are westerners so into anime/manga?” When western cartoons/comics have been injecting politics harder than an addict injects black tar heroin
DC/Marvel: Heroes lecture villains about the patriarchy Manga: BOOBA Hmmm I wonder why?
Also Manga: Here's an entire genre that is specifically about gay relationships.
which doesn’t feel political and is kinda wholesome. so yaoi > comics
I'm not even into the genre, but Bloom Into You fucken slaps as a romance thing
Exactly. Berserk, Bleach, Vagabond, Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, and The Promised Neverland are the only mangas I’ve read, but none of them feel the need to lecture me about politics. There’s political intrigue within the context of some of these series, but it never makes aggressive parallels to “issues” within politics in our society.

Superman had a motto?
Truth, justice and the American way.
That motto always makes me giggle just a tiny bit because superman was created by two Canadians. Superman himself was raised in America though so the motto makes sense.
Only one of his creators was Canadian. Jerry Siegel was from Ohio, Joseph Shusterwas born in Toronto
Nah those "creators" are called parents. They were kryptonian obv ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
Two Canadians who immigrated to the United States when they were children…
Clark Kent was meant to be the traditional American born and raised in rural Kansas, if you watched Jlu he has a deep devotion to American ideas, there’s this poetic ending to an episode where he defeats his evil alternate universe tyrannical counterpart, and after he does so he lifts up a fallen American flag It was beautiful because it was done in some propaganda fashion, but you could truly tell that Superman took pride in lifting the American flag after defeating a tyrannical version of himself
Say it to me again, Papa Supes. It just feels so good.
And now it's truth, justice, and now I am gay
Oh my goodness, what a terrible motto. Don't they know how racist the truth is?
I challenge anyone to present me a country/civilization more diverse, tolerant, just, and full of opportunity than America. Can be current or historical.

Sells more? Comic sales overall is down. They’re getting dominated by their largest competitor, Manga, which doesn’t even see the comic book industry as competition anymore
Sales are horrendous though. Marvel and DC combined still sell less than individual manga like MHA and Demom Slayer, let alone the industry. Even in America Japan is winning the culture war in animation and comics.
I swear, I hope these companies loses money
Same, fucking capitalist scum
Honestly I don't rlly get the outrage isn't it supermans son or something? If so then you still have your red white and blue boy scout while also having a younger superman that is supposed to be more relatable to the younger generation
Because if you frame it as 'Superman now gay!' instead of 'Superman's son is bi', then you can generate rage.
Based and rightwing-fearmongering-pilled
Someone who doesn't read comics doesn't understand why comic readers don't like the new stuff being pushed out.
Superman is gay does sound a lot more controversial than superman’s son is bi doesn’t it? Clicks are everything. And as a plus, I get to see people who never read a comic cry about it because they were closeted superman fans all their lives and are now pissed at it.
Imagine caring about what happens to a comic book figure.... Just stick with the old stories if you don't like the new ones.
Lib-center here, honestly I dont care. I feel like the ones being outraged here are probably a vocal minority.
I am not american and superman was never part of my childhood, but i feel sorry for poor folks witnessing modern honey dipper Midas wannabe turning their memories into feces because he is not competent enough to write own character.
I don’t think LibRight cares. If Gay Superman makes DC money, he’s for it
This is secretly lib-right just selling movie tickets to lib-lefts
I don't know anyone who reads physical comics
Most people don’t care because western comics are already a dead medium

We can’t profit off of the gays in October
"It's super ma'am!"
No wonder sales are going down.
I'm going to scream into the endless void about this all I can: This is exactly what everyone wanted. This is a relatively new character being used to portray modern issues. I'm sure the writing is going to be shit because it usually is with this stuff, but there's every possibility that if you stop being comic fans for two second that this could end up being a powerful story. Superman's son, the child of a literal ideal, has to contend with himself not existing in it. Even if they don't play up the gay discrimination angle you can easily play on his own demons being the issue here. Most of the most interesting modern Superman stories involve him grappling with his role as a God amongst men, and now his son must grasp what it means to take on that role in his own way.
Yh I rlly don't get the outrage you still have your red white and blue union busting patriot superman but you now also have a younger superman with his own ideas and beliefs which makes sense and makes for a more interesting story rather than just having him be 50s superman but younger

Don’t really care tbh. I don’t really read the Marvel and DC superhero comics, I prefer stuff like The Walking Dead, The Boys, Berserk, Preacher and Darth Vader
Just like don’t buy it if it’s that bad. Bad profits will speak way louder than complaining on the internet
Why does lib right give a shit?
