It doesn't translate to better comic sales if you're idiots who make bad comics and don't market them at all.
All they need to do is reprint old comics on newsprint to lower cost and put them behind the candy at grocery store check outs for a dollar a piece.
Seriously
Hell, they could even go through and only do the storylines that have sold well
Cutting out some of the cruft
Tbh the main reason why I read manga and not most western comics is because that shit has an end and a specific purpose
Capeshit is purposeless at this point
couldn't agree more
That said, enjoyed Watchmen, enjoyed The Crow. That shit has an end- makes its case and is done
The comics mainly exist as IP farms.
Couldn't find any better source. White 13 year old boy uses black bitmoji as an avatar, and refuses to change it when a girl tells him to. Girl and her friend spread rumors that he's racist. Then claim he sexually assaulted them in some way. Boy ends up arrested, and has an upcoming court date with the parents not even knowing what the girls claim he did to them.

All while 13
Bigotry has no age.
This seems to fucked up to be serious
But then again, who knows
Since this is the only source, I doubt it
there are several other sources, but they are almost copy and paste jobs - I have yet to find this story in any credible news sites
That site is owned by a company Milo started
Nice. AFD is now stronger than the SPD
Sorry but who are those again?
My knowledge of German politics is limited. The AFD are the anti immigration party, right? are all the other parties basically for multi-culturalism?
well, yes.
I agree some explanation would be helpful. Also, won't the other parties just gang up on them
merkel is the head of the "center-right" party, which was the right-most party in germany. and she let 1 million(!) refugees in the country, without any vetting.
so i'd count them as left and not center-right
afd on the other hand is really a rightwing party.
Kind of like establishment republicans who like illegal immigrant for low wages versus the trump wing?
i don't think they imported them for low wage jobs
they let them come in, because germany has to be morally superior ... to make up for their past
isn't merkel on the record saying that they need them as workers though?
yeah sure .....
about 5% of them are actually useable for any work
but that's why there's the meme with "let all the rocket scientists and doctors in" ...
Germany has to be morally superior to atone for their past... And so everyone ignores what they are doing in the EU
and to their own country. rape and violent crime is on the rise, while a rightwing party is now on second place.
but i'm not complaining, we already got our rightwing government in austria ๐
Time for the 4th Reich, one way or the other
They stacking the deck
Austria the land of KTMs.
and Glocks
you could argue the 4th reich already exists - the EU and its unelected cabinet is essentially run the way Merkel tell them to run. Germany pretty much commands the EU with minor french support.
and they are pushing for a unified EU-Army
How serious is that EU army thing?
Like is there any actual policy for it, or is it just a vague idea that comes up every now and then?
Gotta petition trump to remove troops from some of the EU and pull out of NATO before they get serious about that army and let Putin have fun poking around
EU ministers have announced that 25 out of 28 bloc members will participate and jointly implement military projects in the future, and will pool resources and knowledge.
The EU hopes the defence union will be complete by 2025
Merkelโs French counterpart Emmanuel Macron has been pushing for the creation of a combined EU military force that could be deployed to trouble spots around the world.
โI am in favor of President Macronโs proposal for an intervention initiative,โ Merkel said
so the 2 EU rulers are already on one page on the army
AFD=alternative fรผr deutschland, single issue political part that is anti immigration. SPD=sozialdemokratische Partie Deutschland, the labour/ social democrats party. Not the democratic socialists, that would be the party, Die Linke ( The left)
Out of curiosity, do any of the parties support freedom of speech?
Oh im sure they all claim to
Question is what their definition of free speech is
Right, I guess do any of them actually support Freedom of speech like in the american sense
Im not german, i just know a bit of the language.
I don't think any nation has free speech like america
They are all in favor of free speech, they just cant agree on the definition.
True @Tornzy
I know they don't but are parties trying to achieve that?
In britain Ukip is
If you say "Heil Hitler" in Germany or Austria, you get jail time.
None of them do in the american sense
At least not currently
In german it is illegal to be a nazi, use the swastika or the roman salute. E.g nazi symbols must be removed from computer games before they can be released in germany.
UKIP is the exception, though i dont think they have the power to do it
They just passed legislation saying its ok to use nazi symbols in art and for educational purposes
@Blackhawk342 Who?
The german government
Gotcha
If you want a simulation of the UK in the future just play We Happy Few
In somewhat related news, I saw a preview for a new piece from VICE on the Swedish elections and actually wanted to check it out (but its on HBO). I expect the full report to still be biased, but I think the reporter in it is one of the less bad reporters. https://youtu.be/xIrPSOdsM6U
The reporter Michael Moynihan was the one who covered Evergreen and feminist college comedy and did a decent job. I also listened to a podcast he is on where he gave some other stuff from his Sweden visit. I found it interesting because he talks about how the Christians from the middle east are upset about letting Muslims come in because that is what they fled. [episode 114] http://wethefifth.com/
Warning, all the people on the podcast are for more immigration, and in the second half they bend over to the feminist perspective on metoo and Kavanaugh. By the way, I call these kinds of people Cosmotarians = Cosmopolitan + Libertarian = World Citizen + humanity is a single moral community + left leaning libertarian. They also often follow many PC narratives so they can still hang out with their urban hipster friends. I don't remember where I originally saw the label Cosmotarian, but found it pretty accurate.
I did find it funny the woman doesn't even know her neighbor enough to know he was running for city council with the Swedish democrats. Like maybe if you made a bigger effort to integrate into the society and get to know your neighbors there would be less problems in the first place.
Who all caught the Cruz/Beto debate?
I didnโt. Was it good?
Watching now. Pretty good so far. ๐
```AFD=alternative fรผr deutschland, single issue political part that is anti immigration.```
That's how they started but they aren't anymore. They have a whole programm that nobody talks about and they are reduced to immigration. You can call them...
And they are not Anti-Immigration at all, just anti Mass-Immigration...
```SPD=sozialdemokratische Partie Deutschland```
And they have the name Traitor Party as they betray everything they stand for, when they feel like it. For example in the election last year, the said they won't do a coalition with the CDU but in the end they did because if they didn't there would have been a new election as there was no gouvernment...
Because the greens had some demands that couldn't be further from the reality and the FDP gave them a reality check...
```In german it is illegal to be a nazi, use the swastika or the roman salute. E.g nazi symbols must be removed from computer games before they can be released in germany.```
Didn't that change recently???
And it is allowed for art. Games aren't (yet) considered art.
```They just passed legislation saying its ok to use nazi symbols in art and for educational purposes```
That's allowed for years at least for Movies and other things, just Games weren't considered Art, that might be the difference...
Yes, earlier this year some indie game that no one cares about was given allowance in germany to include a swastica under the basis that games are art. But it's possible that big name publishers might still be scared to include them since they'll be the first AAA game to do so which would mean it'd get more attention, and everything you do these days is likely to cause a controversy.
Thanks for the clarification @Stefan Payne
I am not fully up to speed on current legislation in germany. So that could have changed.
They told everyone to delete it? Someone saved it because of that for sure.
Hopefully we get a leak...
some people are pissed at google and feel like nothing to loose, that is dangerous...
and G* became pretty evil.
fucking algebra?
lets drop math period
fuck, lets drop schooling period for minorities
THAT WILL SURE EMPOWER THEM
if i wanted a assault on math cariculum this isn't how i'd want it
thats just silly
Lmao
"Qualifying for the university course makes it too hard to get onto the course. Allow unqualified people the same opportunities you ableist!" -A country with a problem with dropouts
Apparently anti-meritocracy is a real thing now. Not a joke, not an insult, but an actual position people advocate for.
Stuff like this has been in a thing in California for quite a while. Over a decade ago they wanted to get rid of the exit exam (test to graduate high school that is at like middle school level) their examples were valedictorian who couldn't pass it.
Thing is with the bullshit the left does, it makes the degree worthless.
if you know its a bullshit degree, you know you'd ignore it.
and at worst it can be a negative degree.
be honest: Who here would hire someone with a degree in Feminism? (Gender Studies)
HR departments
Also, when companies are forced to take on those diversity consultants who do you think those are made of
The diversity consultant business is a multibillion dollar industry thanks to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
and other government regulations
Yeah, but that shit will backfire sooner rather than later.
either it will lead to real racism breaking out or worse.
so they seem to want to push the Country in the pre civil right area of the 1950s....
They do, just look at "cultural appropriation". Its endgame is the justification of segregation. Same. Fucking. Philosophy.
Seriously?
Imagine my shock.
Left wing terrorists probably.
"tolerant" arnt they
"NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO QUESTION THE NARATIVE!" but... "NOONE!"
The Left is inclusive. They threatened the diverse crowd at Mythcon (all races, both genders, trans, etc.) They included everyone in their threats.
๐
Will Chamberlain just said that Jeff Flake has a job lined up with CNN, and that's why he's backstabbing the republicans. His net worth is negative and he needs the job.
can anyone confirm this Telran shooting story?
and now the plans will change or this will be called a false flag
And so the war begins....
that article is five months old
your mom
eh?
wat
So whats the betting spread for False Flag Attack, Domestic Terrorists, Isreali Operations, Americans Saudis, or Rogue Iraqi groups?https://www.apnews.com/3c63e13f420c485098e2f40da511e99e/Iran's-president-blames-US-after-attack-on-military-parade
It could be Iranians who did it. I hear they aren't happy with the government.
Iranian Domestic Terrorists are a possibility,
Reuters said something about an internal group. Mentioned some group from the a northern province I think.
That was in intial reporting, yes, poppy Rider
I don't think this is the same thing we saw in Libya or Syria. The people of Iran have been upset for a long time and there has been a crack down on protests for a few years. I don't think a bit of US or Israeli meddling is going to push it over the edge.
Execelent points Poppy Rider, I don't disagree with you, but I just don't have enough info for a valid assessment right now.
To be fair if there's a rebel group in Iran the US or Israel has probably provided fully semi-automatic gibs
Huh.
In other words, guilty, but you can't tell anyone because it would make the university look bad.
that's terrifying
Pretty normal procedure, actuallly
Well, not always. But it's not as unusual as it might seem.
well then the fact that that's normal is terrifying
Terror is never the fight. Terror is the silence.
cuz it seems like a tactic to prevent people from building up public support so that they can be dealt with quietly
That's exactly what it is.
Pretty sure who ever told her it was harassment to state such has their head up their ass, assuming it were true.
Maybe. But they also probably had a lawyer.
Doesn't make the interpretation correct. It's speculation that one was present. It's also not known what the role of a lawyer would be in such a case - seemingly HR - to protect the interests of the college so said lawyer may not deem it worthwhile to correct.
and at the same time
another woman comes forward with a claim that supposedly happened at a party IN THE OPEN but no one is corroborating it
unfortunately this is just giving Jeff Flake more reason to be a quisling.
doesn't matter what the truth is
Yeah
I guess this is society now
what matters is the fact that his net worth is five figures in the red and his post-senate CNN job is at stake.
If you perceive a threat politically and it is a man, impune his name enough to where he backs down
he doesn't toe the lefty line and he's fucked. everyone on the right hates his guts because he's a nevertrump jackass who has fucked them over for years.
Kavanaugh won't back down. He's destroyed if he does.
I hope he doesn't
This is about Jeff Flake being a quisling.
eh I care less about Flakey and more about where this leads us
There will be other Jeff Flakes
The reason they couldn't subpoena Ford is because it would have required Flake's vote. The reason Grassley couldn't force this through to the floor is because Flake said he'd vote no if that happened.
The SJWs have been training everyone for this moment. Anyone who's paying attention knows showing any weakness is like blood in shark-infested waters. Norm MacDonald tried to apologize and look what happened
This is kind of a tipping point isn't it.
This will validate the tactic.
Unsubstantiated, unfalsifiable accusations will be sufficient.
Indeed
Time to take back ground
This is how democracy dies. With thundering applause
Every man in a position of power would be an absolute fool not to follow Pence rules at all times, and it might even be worth it to wear a bodycam or have cameras covering their office.
Jar Jar did nothing wrong.
Men need to work in pairs at all times. Never, ever, ever be the sole man among one or more women.
And it'll have to start when you're a kid.
its fucked up
As soon as your son hits puberty he has to start following cover-your-ass rules. Insane.
I bet we start havijng chaperoned dates in 15-20 years tops if things keep going like this
At this rate we won't last that long.
Birthrates are going nowhere but down.
true, but saying at least 15 years at least gives me false hope things wont go to pot that quickly
oh, and then if yoi watch tim pool he pointed a stat out rhat has me worried, over 60% of millennial women are democrat/liberal (i forget the wording he used) about that much for men being republican/conservative.
seeing the dems today, that stat has me really worried esp with regards to dating
Or you could not limit yourself.
And do what you want.
And tell people to fuck off when they come at you with nonsense.
He shouldn't have to apologize for having a fumbling sexual encounter as a teen
The problem there Prince is that costs you your job.
@Risotto if it even happened
Your job sucked then
And you aren't independent.
Yeah it's not even100% plausible but also I think if you really want to rape someone they aren't gonna just escape
None of these encounters ever happened.
Innocent until proven guilty. Don't assume criminal actions happened just because of one accusation without evidence.
Like even the way it was described BY HER it sounds like he just likes to be a little rough and when she made a sincere attempt to escape he let it happen because he isn't a rapist
And you can't just hang people publicly
If someone did shit, it isn't any of the public or their employer's business
The law would have dealt with it already
And if they didn't then they're proven innocent
Anyone remember all the white knights / feminazis trying to push "affirmative consent"?
they still are, but yep
rofl there's a third allegation coming up.
ALL ABOARD THE RAPE TRAIN ๐
Third time is the charm
See my prediction.
They're just going to trot out allegations once they start getting disproven.
Flood with allegations so no one can see the truth.
That's the startegy.
I'm amazed how long they took to drop the flood, frankly.
Ford got more mileage than I expected.
Jeff Flake is probably putting the finishing touches on his denunciation of Kavanaugh.
Probably.
Allegation was first mentioned to anyone in 2012 in couple's counseling.
He was on Romney's list.
Yeah, it's been noticed. Kavanaugh was first floated in 2012, just before Ford went to her therapist.
But then Romney lost, so she didn't need it.
Kavanaugh now being accused of organizing gang rapes wtf
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dn0mJm8WsAAX2kI.jpg:large
Is there nothing that they don't think people will immediately believe?
Nope. The truth doesn't matter. As I said, it's all in the flood.
See my comment last week.
Isn't this moreso just a way to gum up the works?
Not to actually nail him with the charge
Sorta.
It does both.
I bet Bill Clinton is getting a good laugh at this situation, while raping someone
I would not want to be Jeff Flake's bodyguard.
๐ Believe ๐ Women ๐ except the thousands of women who read Fifty Shades of Grey
If you don't follow Will Chamberlain on twitter or periscope I'd suggest doing so. His periscope streams are spot on.
We're going to get fucking annihilated if Kavanaugh isn't confirmed.
Big tech will have a free hand to do whatever they want.
Maybe even impeachment and god know what else.
Imagine if Infowars wasn't banned, they'd be tearing this bitch apart
And the AIN shit got everyone who ISN'T banned on the defensive.
They're going to kick all the right wingers and gun channels off youtube (and all other platforms) then start pushing for legislation. And with no way to get the word out and organize we won't have any hope of stopping them.
The excuse will be 'fake news' and 'muh russia'.
I think alt-tech needs to create a video streaming sight with something like Superchat
Payment processing is the problem.
PayPal, Stripe, etc, won't do business with them and crypto is too slow.
Payment seems to be the big chokepoint at the moment
Crypto might work if you had a virtual currency for your superchat, like Twitch bits
So the founder for that 3d gun printing company got busted for kiddy fiddling. I think it was a setup.
