I have never heard of this, and I have trouble imagining it being real.

DC's no masturbating rule

>>87929242
Smoking at least looks cool when you do it in groupshots.

>>87929258
>I wanted to put a reference to masturbation in one of the scripts for theSandman. It was immediately cut by the editor [Karen Berger]. She told me, "There's no masturbation in the DC Universe." To which my reaction was, "Well that explains a lot about the DC Universe."

>>87929267
>Implying jerking off in group shots isn't cool

>>87929281
Well, there WAS masturbation later on, though, right? In that nightclub that exploded during Dream and Delirium's adventure to find Destruction?

>>87929281
>Karen Berger
Oh god, that stupid whore.

>>87929281
Because DC comics are famous for Superman jerking off for three issues.

>World with no masturbation
>People love their heroes
>Heroes aren't trying to kill eachother

>World without smoking
>Nobody gets out alive or untainted

Take your hand out of your pants and wrap it around a cigar if you want to make the world a better place.

>>87929281
Reminder that this is literally the only source for "no-one can masturbate in the DCU lolXD!"

Don't be dumb.

why are either of these rules
what kind of fucking retarded shit...

>>87929417
Calm down Karen

>>87929428
You're right, I don't want to end up like you.

But if it was Karen then she wouldn't admit that was the only source

For Marvel, it was Quesadilla. A family member got lung cancer so when he got in power he erased the entire concept of smoking in the MU. When you think about it with such brevity, you actually come away with the impression that he almost sounds like a D-level supervillain imposing his will.

"Great Scott! Lex Luthor has just launched a nuclear missile from his moonbase and it's heading straight to Metropolis! There's no time to fly up and disarm it! I'll have to destroy the missile before it enters the Earth's atmosphere using a Super Cum Shot!

I've only seen masturbation come up once in comics. So smoking

I'd like to see a revamped Fantastic Four get doused with cosmic rays while riding bicycles.

Maybe even the bikes will transform with them, and take on the same powers as the person who was riding them at the time.

Actually, fuck, that would be awesome.

Jonah hasn't been able to smoke in his New York office since 2003 and hasn't been able to smoke outside it (without leaving the city) since 2011.

The same is now true of all New York City-based Marvel characters: the state bans smoking in the workplace, the city bans smoking in public (outdoor) spaces, and local governments statewide are able to legislate more stringently against smoking if they wish. Given that 90% of Marvel takes place in NYC and the rest either happens in outer space (no tobacco vendors), upstate New York (the X-compound) or, usually, California (banned in the workplace for 21 years, increasingly strict controls over how close to workplaces you may smoke and local ordinances against smoking (eg in LA you may not smoke in a public park since 2007, Burbank went further that year and banned almost all public smoking; landlords may prohibit tenants from smoking in private rental accommodations since 2012 and terminate their contracts on the basis of smoking when prohibited) - it's less realistic to depict smoking than ever before, and has been for easily a decade.

Smoker numbers are falling; in 1965, there were ~82,383,200 million smokers in the US (42.4% of the population), compared to ~53,775,264 million in 2015 (16.8%) - down from 2 in 5 to 1 in 6, with prevalence among the young far lower than in '65. There are, proportionate to population, probably the same amount of masturbators (in absolute terms, more than ever before).

It's more realistic to depict masturbation in comics than smoking; it happens more often and you can do it in New York and LA (and outer space) more easily.

Shut up stupid capenormie, Vertigo is million times better than your man in tights.

Just a reminder that DC made Perry White quit smoking a loooong time before Marvel made Jonah do the same.

They were both cigar chomping asshole editors originally.

It sort of works in Jonah's case. Man had a heart attack, so he's taking it easy on the cigs.

That's a fact, but it doesn't work for everyone.

Renew Your Vows, so it's X years in the future.

It's funny. I'm cool with the smell of tobacco but something about the scent peppermint just causes me to gag.

>>87931468
If you want to, you can still smoke at home (if you own it) or in your car (in many places, though often not if there are children present). California's rules on landlords still have to be in the contract (ie if you signed before 2012 you're probably OK to smoke) and whether the landlord chooses to apply them depends on how they feel about the upkeep of their own property.

Smoking in public places has often been banned, and the health risks from passive smoking are significant (and have been known for a very long time). It's simply that it took a long time for communities to adopt legislation to control smoking.

These are often (in the case of local ordinances) rules or laws that have been brought in because of popular support: they are the standards of that community, in other words. Calling them draconian is hyperbole; smoking is not banned, sale of tobacco products is not banned, but there are rules against smoking in a way that harms others, just as there are rules against public masturbation, even on a nudist beach. They haven't been handed down by narrow interest groups, they've enjoyed popular support (even businesses which once threatened they would go under if smoking bans were enforced have often reported increased sales - apparently people enjoy eating without someone blowing smoke across the restaurant) and had no serious attempts at repeal.

While the reactionary stance is that this is the state dictating to the individual what they can do, the actual position here is the state enforcing the rights of the individual not to be surrounded by smoke. It's in line with your right not to be run down or beat up because someone feels they should be able to do that.

The long-term drift to legislate against them smoking in public (you haven't been able to smoke in hospitals for a long, long time, for example, because duh) is only symptomatic of that, it's not the cause; and worth remembering that smokers themselves may have voted for these laws.

>>87931529
Peppermint condoms?

>>87930357
>They were both cigar chomping asshole editors originally.

Perry was gruff but he never made a Superman-Slayer

>>87932586
That we know of

I think no smoking is more silly because it's easier to bring up casual smoking. For somecharacters like JJJ it is an extension of their character design. Much harder to tastefully bring up whacking it.

>>87929861
>Accusing anyone of being a sifting sack of shit

You're a casual from /tv/ pretending to get upset at comics he doesn't read so that's to be expected :^)

Were these posts also made by you as well?

Nothing. Dumb casuals in this thread automatically think "she's a woman editor who made the no-masturbation rule" even though she oversaw the Vertigo line and they didn't know the editorial hierarchy.
