RIP any discussion about Green Arrow on /co/ ever again

I mean this is pretty consistent with his pre-flashpoint character

That'd be pretty dumb since that's been the character's mission statement since forever.

>>83377877
I feel like we have discussed this to death and the general consensus was that while the term is a little too new and controversial, it more or less does describe what GA does and has always done.

>>83377877
Actually I think this'll be a fun litmus test

Those who choose to pitch a fit over this will expose themselves as plebs

If you're right wing you shouldn't even read comics. They've always been left wing. They're an art form created by left wing Jews from New York. Superman was a literal social justice warrior originally fighting slum landlords etc. Green Arrow was a fricking Communist in the 1970s. You're retarded brah.

>>83378837
They may have been left wing in the past but they never made such a push to pander and change things for the sake of pandering at a level they've done lately.

>>83378837
Looking back how'd they get away with commie Olli during the cold war? I mean sure he's supposed to be a Robin Hood like character but still

comics are commodity. they're created for the sole purpose of generating profit for the parent company. companies will do whatever they need to turn profits. being shocked at a business for pandering is like being shocked that water is wet.

also, you're an complete fucking idiot if you think anything going on in DC and Marvel comics is outside of the American mainstream.

I'll support Ollie as calling himself a Social Justice Warrior in that he can look down and actually see his penis. Most SJWs don't have that luxury, thanks to the evils of Taco Bell and Hostess.

If Ollie was actually gunning for me, I would be concerned. If Joss Whedon was gunning for me, I'd probably just make sure to not accidentally follow him on Twitter or something.

Fascism is left wing too, fampai. The only common thread between fascist regimes is non-Marxist socialism.

>>83379587
It's not. Communism in the 20th century in theory rejected nationalism. The characteristics they shared with Nazi German was their embrace of totalitarianism as in the totality of the state.

>>83378896
I believe Ollie was really prolific during the '70, at a time where the Cold War was at a low. People weren't scared as much towards the commie, they were fed up with Vietnam and any other conflict. The government was also more and more diplomatic towards the USSR and China and had put focus more on domestic issue. It really was a time of detente before the spike during the '80.

>>83378986
Fucking Dennis O'Neil.

>>83379875
Denny O'Neil was an actual competent writer first, and his politics were pretty typical of a democrat at the time. They were only shocking because they were in comics at ALL, and people weren't used to that.

>>83379024
Where's the condescension to the outgroup readers? The accidental -cisms? The way this is written, it's as if O'neil is actually stating a case and emphasizimg the way Hal and Ollie would react, instead of just winking to the right kind of readers. It's nothing like Stewart or Leth.

>>83378478
Do not bully the Hal

"Social Justice Warriors" don't actually fight for social justice. It's an sarcastic term for people who think they're improving society by complaining about meaningless crap on the internet.

To be fair they actually put Ollie in his place when Black Canary calls him for being a hypocrite faggot.

I fucking hate this dumb phrase, especially due to the fact it never actually seems to be used in person, out loud.

If you're fucking messaging someone asking if they want to fuck, just ask them if they want to fuck. Why do you need to use a euphemism when nobody else is going to fucking read it?

>>83377877
They're using the term literally instead of figuratively like the RL SJWs. He is a "warrior for social justice" instead of a "warrior" for "social justice."

>>83381012
it's viral marketing. anyone who uses it is a moron and should be shunned.

>>83380904
When exactly did this happen?

Green Arrow has always fought for social justice though, why do people who do not read comics hang out on this board?

>>83381162
Post-Crisis Green Lantern Corps. Englehert/Staton era. Arisia subconciously aged herself up physically and mentally so Hal would find her attractive. It worked when she gave him the bedroom eyes

>>83381119
How is a warrior who fights for social justice not a social justice warrior?

>>83381065

"Newfag" is such an outdated term. Newfags were ignorant and immature and got ridiculed and laughed out of the board. I would kill for newfags now. The neo cancer barely cares enough to pretend to be interested in comics and just crossposts here to bring their retarded internet war to as many places as possible because incompetent mods allow them to.

>>83381119
>All those buzzwords.

>>83381119
Didn't lefty types try to 'reclaim' the term after it got driven into the ground (without realizing that they basically turned it into a synonym for "moral crusader", which is also bad)?

>>83380684
Yeah my point is that both terms are pejorative rather than descriptive

>>83381350
That's all you're going to take into account, that they're pejorative? Now I'm starting to see where all the "old libs were just like us" threads are coming from.

>Why would anyone use the word social justice warrior unironically.

Ollie is the only unironic SJW.

>>83381428
That's some nice projecting you got going there.
I'm no SJW.

>>83381603
Who said you were? If you're focusing on the fact that they're both insults over what the insults mean, then anyone can. Don't get tripped up just because I used the word "us", that's not automatically referring to you.

>>83377907
True, but I feel like this was a mistake on the part of the writer. The word has such a toxic connotation anymore that using it is going to make non-readers spaz out. You can guarantee that every Marvel fan is saving it to try and counter [Unsolicited Opinions About Israel] screencaps.

It would be like having someone say that they're an Activist for the Rights of Men or talk about journalistic ethics. Even if they're completely in the right it's inviting the whole thing to be taken out of context by people trying to find a negative spin.

It's the type of thing that puts you on the defensive, and once you're defending a position you've already lost.

I love Green Arrow so I'm used to the character getting shit on by people who hate his politics, but this was a bit of a tone deaf move.

>>83378012

I guess we'd all be better off if the government told us what to eat, how to dress, where to live, who to marry, when to reproduce...
