This is no different than Spencer and Lieber putting themselves on the cover of Superior Foes #17. Pretty harmless for a variant. Am I annoyed about the direction they're pushing with Riri? Yeah, but I'm fine with them including woc lcs owners on covers.

>>87224151
Easy answer is the picture wasn't taken at her shop, it was taken at a cafe.

Also most bookstores include cafes these days, where have you been.

I don't think so. This instance refers to a teenage girl, yes, but even then this outrage started and developed with adult women characters

Yeah. Her body on that cover was traced from MJ's done by the same artist. He used a grown fully developed woman's body for a 15 year olds and then put her in less clothing.

Phone is okay. It's common practice when eating out with friends to leave your phone on the middle of the table so you aren't pissing around on it instead of hitting it up with your friends. Also, even if it's pretty shitty and a pretty decent loss to have your phone stolen, it can be replaced.

>>87248125
Well she's the first black female owner of a comic shop which is generally unheard of. Especially in a medium where most women aren't interested in and I guess even less so with black women.

>>87248204
So I guess when Jackie Robinson became the first black baseball player it was just a set of classifications? Not something that was unheard of? This is very similar, it's not there's a plethora of black girls running comic shops.

>Made her african american
>Not just african, mexican or asian

African american women are fucking barf tier, most are obese, have stds with shitty attitudes.

Ugh, you Americans sometimes

>>87248332
It would've been better if she was just African, most african girls are really smart, african american women however are ehhh

>>87248317
That's not even comparable. Robinson was a first in an era where black people were barred from doing most things. AND he generally had the skills to back up his reputation. Nothing is holding back black women today from owning comic shops aside from them not wanting to, and comic shops in general not being profitable these days.

>>87248317

Why are you comparing Jackie Robinson, who faced actual racism to the shit of today, where black females can run their own shops or businesses for that matter.

Fucking stop, you sound retarded

>So I guess when Jackie Robinson became the first black baseball player it was just a set of classifications?

I know for a fact that the NY Times article that broke the news had more to it than "Dodgers Purchase Robinson, First Negro in Modern Major League Baseball", because it was a newspaper article. The headline was no-nonsense, and the rest of the article fleshed out the importance of that fact, AND - and this is the important part - talked about Robinson like a human being.

The tweet can't do that on its own, because Twitter has a character limit, and Tweetlonger is a joke. The person who wrote that thing did the next best thing - adding the article in the link - but running a newspaper-style byline that boils the woman down to diversity checkboxes, without even mentioning the woman's name, is dehumanizing, in that typically progressive, "whoopsy-doodles" style of accidental retardation. If an article written during segregation in the '40s can put Robinson's name in the header, and one written in the woke year of our lord 2016 can't do the same for Johnson, that's an embarrassment.

>And there's not like there isn't anything preventing them /co/ has stated before that comics are a white guys hobby.

I've never seen this statement, but it's a pretty easy sentiment to receive. This is Miles Morales all over again, just with much less vitriol and anger. So many threads for people to celebrate Marvel's attempts at expanding comics' audiences failing, it's weird. But then again, I've always been of the opinion that comics as a medium are just things of the past

>>87248829
The downside with Miles was the writing after the announcement. I doubt this girl will go around "I'm black shop owner girl!".

She likes comics, owns a shop and got recognized for being the first black girl to do so. However it seems you can't compliment someone without it seeming patronizing.

>>87248829
>>87249008
You seem like the type of people who think it's never patronizing, so there's no hope for you.

No, I agree that there's nothing wrong with what's going on here at all. I'm just equating the Riri situation to the one where there were tons of 500 post threads of nothing but complaining when Miles

>>87249089
I'm not even sure "patronizing" is the word for it. "Obnoxious" seems more appropriate, but it's not the same thing.
What words describes stuff like when
- those Dems paid $13,000 out of pocket to repair a fully ensured Republican office that got firebombed so they could "take the high road", and then
-took the money back when they figured out the money would probably be used to buy votes instead?

Because the tweet seems like the first thing, and the responses defending it ITT seem like the second thing.

There was an Asian woman, an immigrant too, running a comic shop in NW Florida a few years ago. I'd be more inclined to believe it's not an attempt to win brownie points if it were a menopausal Asian woman.

So what you're saying is, a political issue that isn't even tangentially related to anything concerning this thread? Interesting.

>>87249397
Seems like the same thing to me:
>Use something in the news as PR for publicity
>Do something stupid in the process

Because she's breaking the perpetual stereotype that "niggers don't read comics or play video games. they only like basketball". So when a black person steps out of that boundary, it's news worthy I guess.

>>87249494
>niggers don't [...] play video games."

Who the fuck thinks this? Even dyed in the wool extremist redneck racists are well aware that black people play video games.

>>87249089
I'm not saying there aren't times but congratulating the first black female comic shop owner isn't.

Miles is still around, this character is no different. Soon people will be begging for her to show up in the movies, just like Miles.

who the fuck says this

>>87223594

That photograph is problematic. She's showing her midriff.

>>87223594
How specific can they get? Why not just do the variant with the first black female comic store owner in general?

you know some days I feel bad about being a piratefag then I see stuff like this and realize I have no intention to support this industry anymore

thanks OP

I guess they're trying to be hip by appealing to the whole West Coast/East Coast rivalry? Although, there would have to be black female comic store owners on the West Coast. Are there?

What a beautiful, beautiful thread. Let the hate and anger kill you.

Don't choke when you smell your own farts.

How much better would the world be if smugness could kill white people, too, instead of killing little brown kids instead?
