>>120457420>Except 90% of stuff these days is crap entirely because of SJWs.Let's discuss this and break it down: what makes a comic SJW? Many people like Immortal Hulk, think it is interesting and it is selling. But people say it is SJW because of that page with a black woman discussing privilege with Hulk. Does one page make a book SJW? Does one writer having political beliefs make it SJW even if it isn't obvious in the books writing?
Bad writing is just bad writing and always has been. You're framing the narrative of SJW stuff being some new tumour and not a representative of just another bad trend. Do you see that? I see it in a long trend of: bad writers adopt bad gimmick in their bubble to appeal to new readers and fail. This has happened a lot. When writers all began super edgy stuff and failed, you could say similar things. They were jumping on a trend they thought would sell and failed to make it nuanced.
Most comics I see are not bad because of SJW stuff, SJW stuff is like a sprinkling. Like when I ask for SJW books people give the same answers of FemThor, America Chavez or New Warriors. Some books that are finished or cancelled or universally disliked before even being released. They use this to represent ALL comics. Is that 90% of books?
When I pick up a Marvel book off the rack, SJW shit isn't the issue: story decompression vs price point is. Look at X of Swords a 22 issue crossover that could have been half the size. Who wants to buy 22 issues? When I pick up a DC book, I see bad art or reused concepts. Dumb cosmic entity shit like in DC Death Metal. Most of these stories aren't all communist/trans/SJW stuff. They are bad for certain reasons. And one of the biggest comic trends going back to the proto-events, early comic events and dumb shit like the Clone Saga is: anger sells. Comics have done so much stuff that to do *anything* means to shake stuff up. Often this is bad, sometimes it works.
Do you see where I am coming from?
