I'm well aware that the GOP constantly run the pro-pedo platform when it aligns with religious conservationism, but like hell I'm supposed to believe that the dems had no tools to stonewall and sit on it for a long time?

Passes with bipartisan support.
Solely blames republicans.
Yup, makes sense to me. -

"A minor is someone under 18 and unmarried"
I think the lower the age of consent guys had a hand in that.
Edit: I wanted to say "Was Matt Walsh involved into it?" but the fash roach name evaded me for the best part of the day. -
RE: Western Comics thread
Just look how not hard it was to build from the fall of Krakoa something good instead of back to square zero

@JulieYBM
I saw a post on r/xmen in the same tune. Given how the position of minorities worldwide is precarious the way and the bleakness of ending Krakoa is very unsettling.At the same time Krakoa haters are jumping on to regurgitate liberal talking points about fight for civil rights and Imperial Core anti-decolonial messages.

“All of the assorted mutants of the world need to go and reintegrate back into the rest of the planet and live and coexist alongside a whole bunch of people that they just spent the last five years saying that they were the new inheritors of the future and that you have new gods now,” Brevoort says. “People around the planet have not taken that message to heart in a purely positive fashion.”
Ah nice to know the editor in chief for the X-reboot is a "the muties deserved it" type of guy. @Kaiolino

RE: X-Men The Animated Series is being revived!
Sooooo...I watched the first two episodes.
The animation is bad for nostalgia sake.
Well they nailed Beto's personality. I've to give it to them. -

Resurrection of Magneto is fucking good.
X-men Forever also off with a great start. -

@Nectar
I feel that what Kaiolino said is something the fired guy said.@Nectar said in X-Men The Animated Series is being revived!:
But, I still don't know his views on the X-stories,
He is an outspoken hater of the Krakao era, he doesn't like Emma Frost, can't even call him a Claremont purist because he probably gravitates more to the 92 cartoon lore than the comics.

But the original series animation wasn’t good 2D animation though. It was more “okay” than good.
I prefer the acetate version to this weird 2D filter over 3D models.

@Nectar said in X-Men The Animated Series is being revived!:
fired for unknown reason(s).
Probably the same reason he was booted out of the Witcher writing room, he's an abusive ass.
And aside from the things Kaiolino commented he has a very narrow view of what is good X-story or what is the X-canon. -
RE: X-Men The Animated Series is being revived!
@Nectar
Good for you.
I don't plan to watch because I find the the recently fired creator has some shit ass opinions about X topics. -

Marvel has one editorial line for X-men and that is perpetual genocide (or the process leading to one). -

@black-leg-jex
First off I don't think I claimed or said you did the situation was overall closed.I think the fundamental problem we are having - you and me - is that I forget that my interlocutors are USians and Europeans and thus put faith in liberal politics.
The message that you can only hold grudges against the racist person and not the society that breeds racism is fundamentally flawed, is trying to heal a stab wound with the knife still 9in deep. It's not for the allies or anyone else to say how the oppressed must protest or act or be made heard. It's for them to do.
What Hori does is acknowledge the reason but condem the action, which end up holding the position in story of - and implying that it's his view:
"...moderate who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice."
Having said that, the story puts that the heteromorphs were manipulated and goaded to the hospital raid to free Kurogiri. And I agree with that. But having them to do something to force society do deal with it's racism is positive.
On your bit of using violence to fight back circles back to: 1) the negative peace; 2) that response of the oppressed is equal to the violence of the oppressor (which is not); 3) that by condemning the methods of liberation of the oppressed you fall into a taint validation of the racist perspective ("You see, these [slur] can't protest like civilized people like you and me").
The above paragraph of mine touches more on doyelist analysis of the situation, but are points that can be made in wattsonian way into the narrative.
I personally think the message of "be the bigger person" by: not exploring the topic sooner and better, having the oppressed manifest themselves while being used as fodder by the villains (which sure could be used by in universe racists), putting the two most hetetomorph students to be the ones passing a message along the lines of: "I agree with out anger, but the shooting starts when the looting starts". Shouji and RockHead are heroes, they are enforcers of the law, upholders of the status quo having then proselytize and not the people reach the be a bigger person by their actions make their words sounds hollow and fake.
And I think Hori fumbles even more to place the discrimination boundary into urban-rural axis by having the only Shouji and Spinner being and only been show to experience discrimination in their rural backgrounds. (Well there's Todoroki calling the police chief a mutt but that's a whole other can of worms).

@black-leg-jex
Having a positive reading of how much butchered the heteromorph racism plot was is the weird thing.And again you're conflating things, the hospital situation ending with a positive spin (people realizing that raiding the hospital was bad) does not mean the issue was resolved with a positive one. Nothing was done or proposed to change the situation of heteromorphs asides from what amounts to a undergade cop with powers giving a speech about one must appeal to the morals of it's oppressor to achieve liberation (or you wouldn't be bullied if you weren't a weirdo, so accept it and hold no grudges).

RE: My Hero Academia II - A true Hero
@black-leg-jex said in My Hero Academia II - A true Hero:
It was less about not fighting your oppressors and more about not blaming the majority for the minority (esepcailly when it comes to issues like racism).
No no no, while your point of the plan be raid the hospital to free a guy in the name of the LoV is valid, and a interpretation of things. Regardless of what Hori wanted the message left was don't fight the oppressor, just chin up and fit society even if said society hates you.
The issue of racism is that it doesn't exist in a vacuum, racism is a social construct and only exist because society permits (highly recommend
'The Racial Contract' by Charles W. Mills on the irl application of what I just wrote).An individual person can expose prejudices and bigotries but by themselves they don't have the power to oppress or harass individuals without punishment (or fear of it) with out complacence of it's peers and unspoken agreement from societal institutions (cops, judges, politicians, employers,etc).
It's not enough not being racist, one must be anti-racist.

All that said, I'm nervous if Horikoshi can stick the landing.
Probably can't
@Nectar said in My Hero Academia II - A true Hero:
I wasn't keen on Toga dying nor the black and white message from Spinner's final battle basically saying Don't Fight Your Oppressors
The message was exactly that.
@Nectar said in My Hero Academia II - A true Hero:
mostly surface level moral without depth
It will probably be, he tried to give the villains depth but without properly given heroes nuance, if you commit a crime anything is fair game for the heroes.

@Robby
On the unique I'm not 100% - after like 500 supes is kind hard to come with new creative an unique powers. The rest I agree, that's way I think US comics should embrace more the concept of legacy heroes even if it's only on elseworld lines.
