wow

Batto Otoko it’s because all the crazies care about is forcing others to obey their impossible standards while they themselves don’t follow what they preach. They don’t actually like comics or most entertainment. They just want people to listen and do what they say without question.

Jun3 Shiroyuki no idea where you got that idea. Sometimes people just don’t like the comics or creative teams.

Because the stories they made are shit. And people don't buy shit. Specially if they shove you politics down your throat.

Because it's not about the comics. It's about their liberal arts degree having failed them so they have to interject their politics into other peoples hobbies and interests. Then they divide and ruin their communities and call everyone who doesn't like their comics racist.. when really it's just preference on who you like and what you want to read.

Batto Otoko Because who cares about diversity! A race or skin color doesn’t make anyone more interesting. If you find diversity as a form of entertainment, that’s pretty messed up. It’s like you’re using other races just for entertainment rather than actual merit. Stop focusing on race and focus on a good story. I don’t want a character that is of a certain race, I want a good character that happens to be of a certain race. Trust me that makes a big difference. I am saying this as a brown man. I’m tired of people identifying me as Latino or a brown man. Why can’t I just be a man or just an American. Instead I’m always called something else. It’s very annoying.

Ok damn stop talking so much

Well said

But is it, tho? Most likely not.

@@aus-li well it depends on the comic

Nero The ones where they have all black marvel superhero’s is definitely not unique.

@@aus-li I didn't say they were unique, I said if it's a good comic it's a good comic, implying that if the comic is good it doesn't need diversity

Nero I know you didn’t, lol, just saying those comics aren’t good, it’s just screaming attention. The Harriet Tubman looked pretty cool and funny.

hard rock omg yass

hentai is common

I guess they would add interracial genre and bbc to a hentai manga fan like us idk

@Dario Hall pls no

LOL although manga is technically not comics. still pretty funny.

Yeah boi

Edgar Granados I mean. For example miles is just Spider-Man but he’s really cool. If you like Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and read miles comics you’d notice how MCU Peter is just white miles.

@@HR-kc4dd but in the first comics Miles was just black peter and then he started to be good

the catch 22 of that though is that people are tightfisted. They'll usually stick with titles they're familiar with and not take a chance on original things. Hence the publisher's trick to introduce new characters/stories/ideas by putting them under the banner of an already well known title

They have alway invaded established places and demanded they be changed to fit their standards, an when the previous inhabitants of those spaces complaint, they were labled sexist and racist and ousted. They do not care to establish or create their own and compete fairly. To them the comics industry was a white male patriarchy, justt like gaming or movies and merritocracy is merely a myth of the straight white male.

@Muqadas A it's not that serious calm down. If you want diversity in comics then good for you, go actually buy and support those comics then. Too many people demand diversity in comics by changing already existing characters instead of making new complex well writen ones. When those people get what they want an some white male super hero becomes a gay, latina, 16-year-old, trans girl they applaud it. But for s o m e reason they DON'T BUY THE FUCKING COMIC and it ends up getting cancelled. That's why I made a "negative comment" because I've seen this shit before, and how it TYPICALLY ends. If this ends up positive instead of negative and helps small artists writing diverse quality content instead of retconned trash then good for those artists, readers, and the owner of the establishment.

Slim

@@probablynotdad6553I feel like it’s more of a problem with difficulties promoting and distributing the comics.

You're telling me. they've been hella diverse since the 70's.

Yeah havent you heard of Lobo the first black superhero before Luke cage duhhh.

Comic book characters are physically unrelatable in general so I don't see the point in trying to find relatable points on that front 😂

Yep, she only liked Storm because Storm was the same skin color as her. She didn’t care about Storm as an individual, only about her skin color.

They think we are all stupid and wouldn't know our history. This is pandering to the extreme.

Brian Williams exactly. I don’t get why that’s so difficult to understand to these people.

These are the people that are ruining comics!

There’s no reason it can’t be diverse and quality. Diversity is important

AARON MORGAN Okay then don’t go to HER store.

@@ajwelsh3191 don't worry not many people are.

Probably Not Dad Yeah how do you know that...are you there every day telling her how much she sucks?

@@ajwelsh3191 because the sales numbets of comics like these are horrible statistically. Many of them get cancelled every year from the 2 big publishers.

It's kind of ironic, How the modern blacks don't talk about the 400 years worth of slavery of 1 million 24,000 European white Christians during Islamic occupation of Europe a few centuries be for Christopher Columbus sailed to the new world ore even to Africa.

You wouldn't need to create anything, it already exists. Stop playing dumb.

@@CaptainViral84 just say you’re racist and go

@@madisonturner8887 Can you explain me, How I am a racist?

@@CaptainViral84 “modern blacks” say black people not “blacks” we are not some type of different species

According to this video, it’s “diverse” because they have black superhero’s.

Yeah, shame they focus more on the representation than the comics themselves.

@@MyShiroyuki And not having both is a bad thing? It's representation for black comic book fans, representation will always be a good thing.

KillMeWithPotato Representation and diversity isn’t good when forced. It’s only good when handled well or little to no attention is brought to it.

@@MyShiroyuki Why are you painting it as if it's representation's fault? There is so much constant racism, sexism, abelism, and practically everything negative that ends in -ism out there, and there is enough literature out there and decades of research in psychology and sociology that show it. Somehow people end up believing this clause that some "evil feminsit SJW people" are the ones trying to 'force' representation when in reality they can't even get through it without getting howled at with a bunch of angry nerds. Go to r/gamersriseup and r/subredditdrama and you will see many examples of communities actively trying to set up such an idea. Even on youtube here. None of this wasn't "forced diversity", it was supposed to be a normal change of times. Why do you have to set the bar so high to say what should be and what should not be excluded from your set of hobbies or interests? What have feminists done to destroy such hobby? It's just such fake outrage. Here's a video I can give you: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sNqApcJqnNSylKs.html This is so fake at all. Why do women who want to join hobbies dominated by men have to deal with so much toxicity from people stopping real time and true, proven, progressive ideals that have lots of research about them (feminism isn't just a gamer cringe hobby). Like Honestly, it just makes people like you come off as "gamers rise up' memes.

I don't mind. I mean, whenever you walk into nearly any other comic book store, there are majority white characters on the cover. I like the fact that I have options on what kind of stories I want to read with heroes that look like me.

@@babsdemarco ... How is Sus?

Wilkes Bewth I’m a Alaskan Native American and my favorite superhero as a child was Static Shock. I didn’t care that he wasn’t the same race as me. I loved him because he was awesome.

The people pushing for diversity wanted to turn Peter Parker black rather than create a new character who happened to be black but Stan Lee said no. He didn’t want his characters to be changed like that just for diversity’s sake. So these people created Miles Morales, who started out as basically Spider-Man as a black person but later became a good character who earned the Spider-Man title. Stan Lee was for diversity sure, but he definitely wasn’t for representation for representation’s sake. He knew good characters would be looked up to regardless of their race or gender.

It’s not forcing diversity. It’s normalising it. The more African Americans, LGBTQ people and other minorities you put in media the more they are normalised. It’s important to have diversity

Oh cool thanks for throwing away any potentially valid viewpoint with that casual homophobia

Nathaniel's Phone it sounds like ur more emotionally unstable and angry then the people your talking about bud

No you made a point that a person who calls a she a he is punished and that it’s ridiculous. That’s homophobic bud

What

We call ourselves Bleeds cause we(at least were I grew up) are rare af. Comic books, anime, and certain types of video games is supposedly a "white person" thing. So we're not black enough and a bunch of other bs we get from other black folks. Idk how it is now but that was my reality from the late 90s to late 2000s

I love that Black People r representing themselves in comics media, and I would also love to represent Malaysian stories in an international level for Mass Communication some days.

SJW making it look like a good business and remember she said coffee shop to so how's the coffee also she might just have a good location

@@cell718 I have no what that terminology is supposed to mean, but it sounds stupid.

@MK ULTRA It hurts my brain knowing losers like you are speaking.

I love Asians 🤠👀

You pretty much summed up our whole worldview, us, the so called conservatives.

@Nathaniel's Phone but thats just 1 person. Theres tons of superheros that r stereotypical asians

Amadeus Cho before he got turned into Gogurt Hulk was awesome. He was a sidekick for Hercules, granted. That was one of the funniest books I've read in years. Jimmy Woo in the Agents of Atlas comic. Not the new one that has an all Asian team (dumbest shit ever) but the one from several years back.

Its her store, she is doing it the way she wants and people like it

Cihla Face That’s cool. Just saying how I feel. Don’t agree with the artist and his intent of creating the same superhero’s, just black. How bland and unoriginal.

You might be missing what's happening here. This isn't a bureaucracy putting outcomes before opportunities it's simply a store OWNER choosing how to stock their shelves. This is the owners freedom of choice in practice. It's no different to any owner with a passion for product.

xwhite2020 I see that, and I wanted to criticize one of the authors for being boring.

People still have to work they aren't letting covid stop them from living

Manga sucks

Well it aint "black" and "woke".

Rockandstone Because they’re pushing for diversity despite that being exactly why the comic book industry is dying now. They care more about diverse characters than actual good characters with good stories. It’s cool they’re supporting indie comics but they didn’t give much reasons for why people should buy the guy’s comics other than it’s diverse.

@@MyShiroyuki that does make sense, however, i dont think the point of diversity is just for the fact that its diverse, and ignoring all else. If they did only care about that, and it was bad characters and story, that sucks, but i saw nothing indicating that

Rockandstone The vast majority of comics these days DO only care about diversity to the detriment of the story. Sure the indie comics the store supports may not be like that but these days, buyers of comic books see any comic using diversity as a selling point as a telltale sign that it isn’t worth reading or buying. People are also sick of being told to support something just because they’re diverse. Saying this store supports local indie comics and not bringing attention to diversity would have been a much better story that would have been received far better.

@@MyShiroyuki i hear the argument that alot of people are like this all the time but. ive never seen it myself, and i almost always always see the complete opposite. it feels more like people just make up their minds that all diverse operations or groups are bad, and then come up with ways of how they could be bad, and just go with it as the truth, instead of actually getting numbers on how it works. like the classic ''look at this one dumbass, who also happens to be left, or right, or whatever. that means the rest of em suck too''

Rockandstone I don’t like people who don’t look for evidence to support their arguments and just spout things as if they’re fact as well. I talked to people and the majority of them are fed up with this so called diversity. I also looked at the sales numbers of the comics, and other forms of entertainment, that use diversity as a selling point. And they’re doing terribly. The local comic book store where I live is focusing more on selling manga and Japanese merchandise rather than comics and comic merchandise now because that is what sells. I’ve seen more and more evidence that diversity doesn’t sell every day. This store shouldn’t be advertising how diverse they are because nowadays, that’s what most comic book stores are doing and most of them are failing.

Comics are expensive

Her name is Nubia!, wonder woman’s sister

When you are actively exclusing stories because “not black enough” your sales are bound to be low

kaas saus or gay, trans, female.

This. I didn't see her pushing comics with Asians, Native Americans or any other ethnicity. Just pushing black characters. Because only black people matter and THEN something is considered diverse. Fuck other ethnicities right? Ugh. Hypocrite.

@@horrorcide13 first, we all watched a three minute clip so common sense would say we're not going to see the entire picture. Secondly, a Black woman promoting Black comics and such is offensive to you? Keep that same energy for the white washed industries you probably eat up. There's an Asian and native American community, why would it be her responsibility to speak for them. The same way she is advocating for her community, the rest should do the same.

Are you in Milwaukee?

Not really. It’s important to represent different people and normalise them. They may not be selling crazy in singles but single issues don’t sell great anyway. Trades, libraries and digital are where kids and other people read

One Shot The point of comics and other forms of entertainment is to make money, not change society in a way it no longer needs. They already treat these people as normal or heck, treat them better than they would others. And most kids don’t care if a hero is the same as them. All they care about is if a hero is awesome or funny or pretty. I’m not black but my favorite superhero as a kid was Static Shock because he was awesome. His cartoon dealt with racial and lgbt issues but it handled them well and didn’t make Static Shock’s life revolve around such issues. You say it’s important for these “diverse” comics to show different people and normalize them but would they like to be represented by terrible characters in terrible storylines? This push for diversity against all logic just hurts these people rather than make anything better for them.

That’s just not true. I didn’t care about the colour of a heroes skin as a kid because most of them had my skin colour. Also these things do matter. Film, TV, video games, art, comics. These all reflect our world and push for positive change. Media does matter

Also Static Shock had entire episodes dedicated to racist characters if that came out today you’d be saying it was “SJW”

One Shot I watched those episodes recently and I didn’t think “SJW”. Like I said, those issues were handled well in the cartoon and Static Shock’s life didn’t revolve around said issues. He was normal because he did things normal people do. And sure, you may have been different as a kid but so far, every child I took care of in fifteen years never once told me they liked a character because they have the same skin color as them. And I made sure to ask them why they like them in recent years given the insanity of pushing fake diversity. And the answers were always “because they’re cool/funny/pretty”.

John S no one who calls themselves progressive uses the word virtue signaling forehead

@Nathaniel's Phone you really triggered

@Nathaniel's Phone how?

@Nathaniel's Phone you got all of that from a video about a comic book shop that carries stories other comic book shops don't care to order/promote? Where in this video did they try to persuade anyone else to do anything that wasn't positive and couldn't be applied for everyone, was it the "You can be your own hero" part?

@Nathaniel's Phone Do you not understand what you're saying sounds absolutely stupid? Because it does. Is this the way you think? It's pathetic. Here's some advice, get a college education, resist yourself from the internet and grow a brain.

Black creators creating black characters for their comics is not forcing diversity in any way😅

"""""""Force Diversity"""""" isn't real Get a grip

Nico Di Fictional I think he means the best way is to not bring attention to skin color. Diversity is best when no attention is brought to it. It’s just treated as normal.

Ramen Doodles It is real. Turning preestablished white men in fiction into different races or turning them into women is forced diversity. Choosing a black actor over a white actor to play a part simply because they’re black and the other actor is white is forced diversity. To say forced diversity doesn’t exist is something only a blind fool would say.

@@felixfelix7960 Okay but this comic book store isn't doing anything like that. It's just making comic books with black casts

I LOVE this channel as well ! 😊
