Why are the sales numbers of western, specifically american, comics dropping for years?
>>

Make her only asexual and make her want to only date the reader with the added context being that the reader is a teen boy between 14-21
>>
Wasn't she an incel that really wanted to fuck the nerdy support guy she got killed
>>
>>151648643
She was written as being a super sexually repressed fan girl, but they changed that into her not having a sex drive somehow.
>>
>>151648496
Didn’t she hook up with Quintavius Quire, in wear coast avengers.
>>
>>151648676
She.
Before she was as outed as a asexual.
>>
Didn't she want to sleep with Mr. Fantastic?
>>
>>151648496
Honest reason? terrible writing and stories.
But I think this is one of those twitter rant threads so uhhhhhhhh lefties took over or something(please forget the decades of progressive left stories that everyone grew up with)
>>
>>151648496
Poor Gwenpool, taken by the great wave. Imagine having your sexuality retconned.
>>

Those kinda go hand in hand, m8.

>>
>>151648676
>quinten was so bad he made her asexual
>>
>>151648853
Modern lefties love to shit on liberals when it comes time to bitch about capitalism, while also trying to claim said liberals as their own when it comes time to talk about the past. They seem to think "racism bad" is the same as "down with the heteronormative patriarchy."

>May we see them.jpg
If you think the X-Men ever was ACKtually about magneto being right global entifada NAO!!!1! like it's television deboot you're as retarded as you are homosexual.

And to put propaganda mouthpiece comics like the thunderbird's or howling commandos in the same box as the modern comic wokescolding is brazenly disingenuous.

>>151648496
I’m pretty sure I read a comic with her using a symbiote to try and seduce Matt Murdock
>>
>>151648827
Mate, what's progressive and conservative isn't fucking static, and only an actual retard who shouldn't be allowed to vote much less reproduce would think so.
>>
>>151648782
Oh, ok before they decided to change everything because of the message. Despite her development previous established, they decided the message was more important and make her total character shift be looked at as "coming out" instead of being a standard bad writing retcon comics are so famous for.

Seriously, who gives a fuck? This shit is the height of attention whoring.

>what is a retcon
>>
i don't think leftism itself is a problem, either. the lack of authenticity is the problem.
>>
>>151649135
Well you seem pretty bothered by it. As is most of the incels on /co/ who seethe at the idea that asexuals exist

Because you're not focussing on telling compelling stories, you're prioritizing millennial propaganda.

Nobody wants your half-assed politics or your diversity hypocrisy.
Sanctimonious retards have their heads so far up their own ass, they aren't seeing the obvious damage they are inflicting to themselves.

Because western culture shifted heavily away from print media and towards visual media at the turn of the century, with the generation who were kids in the mid 90s having very little need for comic books when all sorts of kids and teen focused television was a round and video games were getting increasingly huge. Larger publishers like DC and Marvel were never really able to convince kids to shift from those things back to buying and reading comics, even when the kids liked things like X-men or Batman and were very into those cartoons.

In part because their distribution method was already growing archaic. The bulk of millennial kids (especially later year ones) had never developed a relationship with "go to this small mom and pop shop to buy shit". So even if they were vaguely interested in comics locating and going to the LCS was more trouble than it was worth. They grew up with big box and the dawn of online retailers. You could buy an N64, or transformers, or legos at a Toys R Us, but even a Barnes and Noble is only gonna carry a handful of comic books that don't have a cohesive story progression because they're random trades or one-off graphic novesl.

So comics continued to drop in sales from the 90s into the 00s and 10s, and the fact that they were increasingly out of cultural relevance only snowballed this issue. Kids were talking about Batman or X-men or Teen Titans Cartoons, or 00s Spider-Man and X-men movies who are you going to talk to about some specific arc in Spider-Man Unlimited?

The industry has spent decades trying to catch-up and establish a reliable audience in world where they must compete with vastly more engaging media like games or infinitely more convenient and robust free time spenders like streaming or youtube, where kids and even kids parents did not grow up caring about comic books and comic books have long been relegated to "that thing a small handful of weird Gen X people collect."

1. Comic books are prohibitively expensive to get into
2. Prospective readers often view reading comics online to be more akin to piracy, due to being in the domestic market
That's basically it, albeit usually sprinkled with a light dusting of "the uninitiated also have a lot of unfounded preconceived notions that end up locking them out"
>>
>>151648496
Stuff like this is why I'm more than glad AI will make any and all "artists" commit suicide en masse. Good riddance, you worthless losers.

>2. Prospective readers often view reading comics online to be more akin to piracy, due to being in the domestic market
I...what?
Genuinely asking, what did you mean by this?
Surely no one believes that paying for digital comics is akin to piracy, if anything I think people just are less likely to pay for digital comics or books at all in the age of online censorship and DRM.
>>
>>151649698
>Surely no one believes that paying for digital comics is akin to piracy
Of course not you dolt. No one ever refers to paid means when talking about reading comics online.
>>
>>151649698
No, he's saying when you say "I read it online", most people assume you mean you googled a random READ ______ ONLINE site or grabbed it off getcomics. Few people take the prospect of actually paying to read comics digitally seriously.

Ahh, okay, my mistake, not sure how I managed to misread that so badly.

>Wait a minute, I can draw Gwen having sex lol
>>
>>151648496
People aren't reading. Not even comic books.
>>
>>151648632
This does fit her strike range, julie was 12-13 when she met her
>>151648643
Yeah ironically cecil kind of is one of the key parts to gwen as a character. Like batroc she needs a good male character to pounce off of. One being her friend who's more reserved and smart and other more a mentor and father figure.

Sadly they don't connect her with him anymore or batroc

>>151648496
We all know it’s Superboy Prime
>>
>>151649655
>Comic books are prohibitively expensive to get into
They’re not. Why do you even immediately presume one has to buy comics instead if lending them from the library?
>Prospective readers often view reading comics online to be more akin to piracy, due to being in the domestic market
People do it for manga all the time wtf are you talking about
>>
>>151649368
You're ignoring the 90's boom that comics had after the Death of Superman when boys actually started buying them again because they were cool and edgy. 80's comic readers really try to pretend this didn't happen. But kids are so lame and helicopter-parented these days I don't know you make anything cool to appeal them.
>>
>>151649107
i think it was more change due to the writer's fetish, Gwenpool is not the first Marvel character he turned Asexual
>>
>>151648496
Her "coming out" comic literally presented asexuality as a mental disease.
>>
>>151648496
Thats fan art, not real.

>>151648853
Nice Scotsman Fallacy you got there, idiot
