"Fat Black Lesbian" Was Everyone's Favorite GI JOE Action Figure as a Kid, Right?

I've been very amused at the development of what's now being called "comicsgate", and how the Ctrl-Left takeover of the comic industry (and especially Marvel comics) is now facing a MASSIVE backlash from fans.

And it's pretty clear now that the tide is turning.  Axel Alonso, the Marvel editor-in-chief who presided over the two year slide into Marvel's obsession with Identity Politics and the elimination of all their major heroes to be replaced by minority token characters no one wanted, is out. And in spite of disgustingly fawning eulogies for Alonso's career by all the regular fake-news suspects, it's obvious that the end result of his tenure was that Marvel currently lies in ruins.

The article above pretends that "Ms.Marvel", the teenage Muslim-feminist sociopath with powers who helped the adult man-dyke fascist Captain Marvel to literally round up and imprison people for wrongthink without trial, was one of his greatest triumphs.  It wasn't.  Ms.Marvel was a triumph of HYPE and praised endlessly on leftist media, but it never actually sold well at all (in the past year, it has shipped between 15000 and 24000 units per month, and presumably actually sold less than that; that's a level so low that under normal circumstances the comic would be cancelled, but of course it won't be because it is crucial to the Ctrl-Leftists to pretend that Ms.Marvel is very popular). Nor did the remade Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers, or Carl Manvers as the comicsgate shitlords call her, on account of how each successive SJW artist depicts the once-beautiful character as increasingly mannish, muscular, crew-cutted and generally ugly; a trend that Marvel has taken up with most of its female characters, as if being an attractive female superhero was somehow itself a crime against women, because, you know, western 'male gaze' is exactly the same as Congolese Rape Militias or something).

In spite of Alonso and company insisting that Captain Marvel be retconned into being by far the most popular superhero of the marvel world who all the populace love and who was so trusted and beloved that everyone sided with her even when she imposed a fascist regime that sent youth-gangs to arrest people for pre-crime without any due process or rule of law, somehow the fans just didn't go for this absurd totalitarian man-thing. That more or less sums up all of Marvel's history in the last two years: the writers and editors demanding that we readers like what THEY tell us to like, and then claiming that horrible sales was the fault of all of us being Nazis. You know, like Captain America, who they made a Nazi twice.


Their response was to just FORCE comic stores to buy the comics that no one wanted, by making those pre-requisites to being allowed to buy those few titles that Marvel still had that did generate demand.  This meant that comic store owners were stuck with piles of stock they could never get rid of, and that already-fragile business model became almost untenable. It led to a revolt in the middle of a panel during a recent Comicon, where one comic-store owner after another berated the Marvel people for their practices and demanded change.

I could go on about how they made Thor "unworthy" of being Thor and replaced him with a girl no one wanted, replaced Iron Man with a sassy black teen (that sounds kind of racist, doesn't it? But that's how they made her! SJWs are actually incapable of making characters who aren't ridiculous stereotypes) that no one wanted. Captain America was replaced by Falcon (ruining Falcon, a perfectly good non-white Marvel hero, in the process) and later by "America Chavez", a sassy (again) Lesbian Latina Illegal that no one at all wanted, who got to punch Hitler INSTEAD of Captain America, because after all why would Captain America punch Hitler? He, like all patriotic white American men, is a Nazi himself after all. That's why the US forces in WWII were composed almost entirely of sassy hispanic illegal immigrant teenage lesbian girls.

In brief, all the most important Marvel male heroes were replaced with minorities or female characters in the period between very late 2014 and late 2016. All the previously-existing female heroes were turned into sociopathic feminist fascists (Mockingbird, Hellcat, Female-wolverine, girl-Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, she-hulk, and of course Carl-Manvers the dyke-haircut maoist Captain Marvel) or sociopathic feminist retards (Squirrel Girl), in that same period of time.  Also, as well as a HUGE decline in art quality in general, all the female characters were drawn to be as unattractive as possible, because apparently that's feminism. 

Like, here's PRE-SJW Squirrel girl, circa 2009 or so:

And here's what being on Feminist Ideology does to you (it's worse than Crystal Meth!):

Now, though, the tide is turning. Alonso is gone, and it's not just readers and fans who are fighting back about the decline in the comics industry.  Jim Shooter, one of comic's legends both as a creator and as an editor, recently gave the comics industry (and it was clearly Marvel in particular) some very harsh criticism about their current mismanagement, stating that "Jack Kirby must be rolling in his grave" at their making Captain America a Nazi. 

Of course, it's not just Marvel. IDW, which currently produces GI JOE (which was, besides a toy line, cartoon and movie franchise, an incredibly successful long-standing comic franchise), utterly destroyed that comic by handing over the reins of it to Aubrey Sitterson, an avowed socialist who hates America and who was on record as saying that almost anyone who mentions 9/11 is politically suspect. 

Sitterson decided that the best way to write GI JOE was to have the Joes no longer be American, turning them instead into an international social-justice militia force of some kind, and replacing many of the favorite characters with women & minority characters because social justice.

I mean after all, whose favorite GI JOE action figure as a kid wasn't "Fat Black Lesbian Joe", am I right??

As it turns out, the sales were so utterly atrocious (around 4500 units ordered, for a comic that could once easily get ten times that much, around 2003, a time long after the cartoon had ended and years before the movies first came out) that the newest series was actually cancelled even before issue #1 came out.

Some people somehow suggested this was unfair. It isn't. This isn't some kind of censorship, or blacklisting, or a boycott. This is a product that was intentionally designed to make its original market despise it (because the writer felt that fans of GI JOE as a patriotic American military organization should be punished for their beliefs) failing to attract any alternative audience (because SJWs love to praise the takeover and ruination of comics by replacing characters with SJW tokens, but have no real intention to ever actually buy these new politically-proper comics), and thus ceasing to exist as a result of the gross incompetence and one could even say malevolent intent of its untalented politically-motivated creators. 

I don't quite think the Totalitarian-Left is finished, in comics or in movies or in RPGs or all other aspects of pop culture (which they correctly recognize as a vital battleground in their efforts to tear down the fabric of Western culture), but it's also true that the backlash is only just getting started. 

It's going to be hopeful and interesting times.
