>>83497630To be fair, Doom just came out with fuck loads of guts and macho violence, and Blizzard replaced that Tracer pose with one that was inspired by a WW2 pinup (adding explicit sexual overtones to it, in addition to showing off her ass more).
Meanwhile I haven't heard anyone talk about "Depression Quest" other than to mock it and that one Nintendo Treehouse member who defended pedophilia and said on Twitter how she'd purposely fuck with game localization to piss people off has been fired.
I feel like video games are coming around, but the difference between video games and comics is that games are a bigger, more financially sound industry.
If someone complains about Call of Duty not having a trans-racial omni-gendered plantkin as the protagoist, Activision can continue ignoring them whilst laughing all the way to the bank.
But comic books NEED that money. If the college kids who watch the movies say they'll buy a funny book if it exposes the horror of the cishet white male illuminati, guess what the next issue is gonna be about.
It's only a matter of time before they wise up to the fact that this niche market of millenial idiots doesn't actually read comics; DC seems to be learning, and that's why stuff like Harley Quinn at least still has loads of cheesecake in it.
But Marvel is still hiring fucking Tumblr webcomic artists to get brownie points from your local university's intersectional feminist alliance, not understanding that they'll buy one issue of Unbeatable Squirrel Girl before they become triggered by how difficult it is to waddle to the comic shop every few weeks and latch onto a newer, trendier fish.
They'll learn, but only through sales. Do not hate buy, do not raise awareness, simply let your wallet and apathy send the message for you.
No amount of complaining on Twitter kept Dan Slot from writing shitty Spider-Man stories, but the amount of money and press that Superior made sure as hell encouraged him to keep going.
