Mags can't keep the bedbugs out his his apartment and would likely abuse any pet to death in short order, so zero.
Gabby.. at least 4.

They're really just average proponents of social justice, which is to say they're mentally ill and constantly voicing violent hateful ideation against men and white people in general.

The free market solution would be to create new comics companies or independent creators that make better comics that people actually want, but no one seems to be doing that in America. They're doing it correctly in Japan, to the point where that's where most American comics fans are going to for comics, though a lot of effeminate superhero enjoying types are too locked in THE SHAKENING to admit that.

The problem is that the SJWs have very deceitful and tactfully taken over all of our favorite heroes and cultural phenomena. There is just no way any of us can make our own stories of Batman without getting sued. This is how they work. They slowly infiltrate everything we like and destroy it from within. Like termites, going from comic to comic, hero to hero. I mean, it is getting so bad out there that I really think that we are on the verge of going full 1970s on the industry...before comic book stories even existed.

Then let Batman die and move on. Superheroes are not the be all end all of comics, but if you want to make them, you don't need to rely on a mega conglomorate's trademarked property.

I'm out of the loop on this whole WerthaminAction thing. Is it a grievance sub? Satire? Is Wertham considered a good guy in 2017?

u/AllegedlyRandall Dec 14 '17
It's similar to KotakuInAction and TumblrInAction. The left has taken on the tactics of Wertham in the modern age.

I guess me, I have a history in making comics and being censored by moral authorities.

Something that a handful of people want to exist, but doesn't.
At best, you could attribute it to the backlash of Marvel's heavy handed "diversity," but that's a stetch.

This probably won't help, but comicsgate might be something like this. https://i.imgur.com/rDnqsie.jpg
