How do you NOT know Pakistanian isn't a language? That's like not knowing the seven seas or the oceans by name and location. This is literally grade level shit.

>How do you NOT know Pakistanian isn't a language?

I had no fucking idea what it was until this became a controversy. I probably wouldn't have said Pakistanian, but I can see why somebody without thinking could say that. It's a lot like thinking people in Brazil speak Spanish because it's in Latin America, nstead of, you know, Portuguese. Or not knowing French is a primary language in a lot of African countries that used to be French colonies. And then there's places like Republic of Armenia where people in fact speak Armenian. It's confusing if you're not well versed in the subject, so it's an easy, stupid mistake to make.

And it's the the middle-east, it's ridiculous how many different languages can be spoken in one nation alone. Look at Iran in wikipedia, it has like thirteen different languages spoken within its borders where in Iraq it's primarily Kurdish and Arabic.

Well it is pretty stupid thing to make into a controversy. "Oh no, an editor was dumb enough to think Pakistanian is a language! OUTRAGE!"

I mean fucking really, this is something worthy enough to get news coverage?

>>78787058
DC doesn't shove it in their faces, so they aren't aware of it like Marvel.

>>78787068

Yeah, but how many middle-eastern languages can your average person think of that are not Arabic, Yiddish and shit, I dunno, Armenian, at the top of your head?

>>78786764
>How do you NOT know Pakistanian isn't a language?
I gotta be honest, I never gave much thought to what language is typically used by Pakistanis. Language was always a weird thing for me.
Blew my mind when I realized the Hunchback of Notre Dame took place in France, where presumably people spoke French. But the characters were speaking in English.

This shit confused me and made me wonder if everyone just heard everything in their own language, because I was an admittedly stupid child.

>>78787110
He's right though. People hate DC for no reason, but give Marvel a pass while having abhorrent business practices for the past 30 years.

This. This is exactly what the issue is. Google exists for shit you don't know. It's the lowest insult on western civilization that there are masses who can't be bothered to spend 30 seconds to google something, ESPECIALLY if you're a professional who is about to show an audience how smug, lazy, and ignorant you are.


None of these issues are a fucking research paper that you have to sink hours to pour over academic papers. This is all trivial facts that you have no excuse to be unable to look up on a search engine.

He's also been connected to series of harassment incidents too so I really don't understand why the fuck he still has a job.

>>78787073
Yes media is now fluff bullshit and political shit tied to the agenda of the company

>>78787184
A powerful PR team helps.

Fuck there's a rapist writing a book at Marvel but there's no controversy about THAT is there?

DC should btfo everyone by saying that Pakistanian is a real language in the DCU

>>78786812
Because Marvel's thing was for the longest time being relatable, and there's nothing more comforting when you feel alienated in real life.

DC on the other hand has a really had time trying to be relatable and is much better at complete reality escape. The problem is that when Marvel starts banking, DC tries to follow suit and usually does it really hamfistedly and fucks it up royally. See: Wonder Woman working at Taco Bell.

Both have their strong suits, and in general when they try to chase the trends of the other due to a temporary boost in popularity they end up looking ridiculous.

>>78787323
Marvel did get some backlash over the 'meow' Black Panther cover.

>>78787027

The difference here is that you are not being paid to spend your days fact checking that sort of thing before it goes to print.

When are Marvel and DC going to address the pertinent issue that was brought up today about the tendency of New York blacks to come to Maine to sell drugs and knock up white teenage girls?

>>78787388
Editor's job these days is basically to proofread scripts, which they do badly, and make sure people meet their deadlines which again, they do badly.

>>78787439
>proofread scripts

Which includes catching words that don't actually exist (and aren't supposed to be that way as technobabble).

>>78787027
I can't tell if this is a real post or not. It's nothing like thinking people in Brazil speak Spanish because it's in Latin America, or how French is used colonially.It's not about an inherited language at all. It's a basic fact check that wasn't done.

Pakistan isn't in the middle east either, it's in south Asia.

They speak Portuguese actually

>>78787500
>It's a basic fact check that wasn't done

I think it's pretty obvious that the fuck up is entirely due to the editor genuinely thinking for whatever reason that Pakistanian was a real language. You don't tend to fact check what you automatically assume to be common knowledge, and in this case it lead to a blunder.

>>78787148
>>78787532
it's not that they got it wrong, it's that it's so blatantly wrong and so simple to look up literally anything that could go in its place

Did you even read either of those two posts?

>>78787148
> I hope comicbooks go back to being for nerds

Nah fuck that, comics should be for anyone that actually wants to read them. An entire medium of entertainment and art shouldn't be seen as the property of one subculture

>>78787605
But this person gets paid for it. They should be sacked. If your job is to fact check and you don't believe you need to fact check anymore then you've not learned your job well.

If a mechanic fucks up my POV I want that fucker sacked so other patrons don't have to get their engine shitted on either.

>>78787622
I agree with you and the poster you quoted. Comics should be for everyone but their interest should be sincere, not liking it because it's hot right now.

>>78787439
Holy shit fuck off that's not the editor's job at all, that's PROOFING's job.
Stop talking out of your ass you mongoloid.
Comic editors make sure stories adhere to continuity and future story plans, stay true to the spirit of the characters and they arange writer/artist teams for books. They also give input on story. Not saying they do any of what they're supposed to ata competent level but you sure a shit know absolutely nothing.

>>78786764
Eddie Berganza is a notoriously terrible editor. Hell, I've heard the only reason he still has a job is because he has dirt on one of the higher-ups.

Protip: X-Men came about as a liberal agenda.
When Stan Lee's child died in a miscarriage, he and his wife tried to adopt babby.

He's a Jew, she's a Catholic, every orphanage refused them since almost all of the ones in New York at the time were religiously affiliated and some "scientists" at the time had published papers saying children from mixed religion homes tend towards poverty and atheism. One Rabbi specifically suggested to them that God killed their child to send America a message about religion mixing.

So Stan's wife had a cry, then Stan went to the Bullpen and told them to make a comic about stupid worthless pieces of shit hating awesome people for stupid reasons that don't make sense. He wanted a mix of all the people they could use, with diverse powers and backgrounds. Then he made the villain a Jewish holocaust survivor, to show that anyone can be a stupid bigot asshole.

Boom, X-Men was created.

>>78787630
I'm more amazed that the editor just thought up Pakistanian and went " yeah that sounds right" It's not a word at all, Pakistani could've been excusable as a simple mistake

Went to google to see if I could find some more info and one of the first suggestions is "eddie berganza indiscretions". Found this post by Alex de Campi:
>The main Wonder Woman comic is part of the Superman office. Now, the Superman office allegedly employs no women, and a cursory glance over the mastheads of several Superman titles and Wonder Woman seems to confirm that allegation. The reason, I’ve been told by several people who work or used to work at DC, is because one of the most senior editors is a sexual harasser with multiple incidents on his HR file. I don’t use “alleged” here because at least one incident (grabbing a woman’s breasts) happened publicly at a corporate social gathering with multiple witnesses. There was also something about sticking his tongue down an artist’s girlfriend’s throat when the artist was in the bathroom. Again, public gathering.

>>78787685

It has to be intentional. There is no way this passed through several layers of human oversight without someone looking up the official language of Pakistan.

>>78789099
>>78789096
That kind of logic only works for defending Marvel because they have a movie about a Tree and a Racoon don't y'know?

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that if we took everyone bitching about the Pakistanian thing and asked them off the top of their head what language do they speak in Pakistan, only a handful at best would be able to get it right and the vast majority of those who got it wrong would be one hundred percent certain that they're correct.

Pakistan has two official languages Urdu and English.

>>78789062
Because the United States of America has been around both as a nation and as a name for hundreds of years longer than Pakistan. It's more reasonable to believe that a distinct language that could be named after the country of origin emerged from the USA than Pakistan given the time frame. It's LITERALLY worse.

welcome to the world of media. Shit's been going on for ages in all other forms. I'll give a fun example and history lesson.

Billy Corgan of Smashing pumpkins wrote a song called Cherub rock, you've probably heard it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbrfXDFuzu0&ab_channel=WoutMartens


Anybody who's into the music scene (or knows people into the music scene) knows those people who like a band one week, but once that band starts making money, suddenly instantly hate them calling them "sell outs".

Smashing pumpkins got a big break and were called to play at an event called Lollapalooza. Their old fans freaked the fuck out (think like 4 chan but in real life) calling them sell outs, corporate whores, etc.

So Billy wrote Cherub rock as a giant middle finger to all of them calling them insecure, attention seeking phonies and how he'd rather have money than their adoration.

People will always cling to what's popular. This is universal fact. Don't get caught up in "what it should be" Just enjoy what is there and find people who enjoy the same thing. And more importantly be fucking welcoming rather than doing your best to exclude.

another fun fact about smashing pumpkins. They were one of the first internet memes because they have the doom rocket launcher sound effect i their song "where boys fear to tread"

In fact Marvel got big because spider-man was the first everyman in comics

>DC comic shows a misspelled word
>/co/ goes full company war

Presumably this was the writer's mistake and it slipped past the letterer and editor as well. This makes them pretty dumb but human error so whatever. What is amazing is that it would appear that comics are just shat out by Berganza's office and, despite him constantly producing terrible comics, nobody higher up seems to be quality checking them. This should have been caught by a higher level employee than Berganza. Does anybody at DC actually care about the comics they produce? Probably some do but the higher-ups obviously don't give a fuck. I bet they would have caught the mistake if somebody misspelt the name of a cereal brand tho'.

As an editor you have a job. That job is to make sure your writer doesn't make any stupid mistakes. This is a stupid mistake. It doesn't matter what the mistake was(in this situation it was such a glorious fuck up that it became news), your job is to make sure it doesn't slip through the cracks. Whether its lack of continuity, incorrect in-universe names, misspellings, bad creative teams or even making up a language to generalize an entire nations communication

>>78793403

This, Marvel makes these mistakes in almost every issue of every comic they put out but DC makes one TINY mistake maybe once a year and everyone jumps down their throat.

No, he got promoted for it. He's in charge of Superman's circle, which is why you will never see a female editor on those books. He's so terrible at his job and such a PR nightmare, that most people have assumed he's only staying there through blackmail.

He use to be Executive Editor at DC during Nu52 so no he actually got demoted presumably for his harrassment behavior.

>He's in charge of Superman's circle,

He was in charge of the Superman books during the Loeb-Casey-Kelly era up until the end of Infinite Crisis.

> which is why you will never see a female editor on those books

He had several female editors though they were mostly terrible and did shit like Gail Simone's Firestorm. I believe they got fired during the move to Burbank.

>>78790853

He's right. You're retarded if you think ignorance and incompetence is ever acceptable -- in this case, being so lazy and idiotic that you can't even use Google to look up something as basic as the name of the language used by a "shitskin" nation, which should already be common knowledge for anyone that's completed basic education. For that matter, it's one thing to not know anything about some shithole in central Africa completely lacking in history or culture like Burundi, but we're talking about Pakistan, a region with thousands more years of history, civilisation, and interaction with the world than any Western nation.

>>78803961
Pakistan was created in 1947. It's younger than the United States of America and alittle bit older than Israel. The entire reason it was created was because the Muslims in India wanted a Muslim dominated state and didn't want a pluralist multi-ethnic state where there was power sharing between religions. Hell much of its territory wasn't even part of the British Raj until the 20th Century.

>>78804264
I'm talking about the region, not the state; it's more convenient to refer to the historical region of Western India currently occupied by Pakistan as Pakistan, even though the state itself is very much a recent construct.

It's more equivalent to assuming that people in Brazil speak Brazilian because that's the name of the country and you don't really care.

Or more like assuming people from Africa speak African.

>>78786812
It's the popular one right now, that's it and the comics are pandering to them I guess even if they don't buy or read them aside from the few panels tumblr users post.

Also when Marvel makes mistakes like that a few of them get angry, Brevoort says something rude or snarky in his tumblr, the comic "news" websites and Gawker turn a blind eye then no one gives a shit.

DC doesn't have that benefit, they are not as popular, a lot of old SJW hate Didio, their PR team is awful, so DC gets shit on.
