Let's have a laugh, shall we?
>Imagine, for a moment, that you’re a cashier in a grocery store. You’re minding your own business one day, just doing your job, when a customer storms in. They are mad because the price of milk has gone up and they don’t want to pay that much. They yell and scream and no matter what you do you can’t get this person to understand that you have no control over the price changes. The customer gets madder and madder and eventually goes out declaring that they are never going to shop there again. However, this customer manages to convince thousands of other customers that the milk price is too high and they should boycott the store. The movement gains momentum and before long the boycott is huge.
>The boycott begins to hurt the bottom line of the store, and upper management is starting to get annoyed about it. They begin to cut hours to the store and suddenly your full time job is suddenly a part time job. They take away your benefits and continue to cut hours as the milk boycott continues. However, the boycott is too much and the store needs to let some people go. Your manager comes up to you and tells you that he has to let you go because the boycott is affecting the business so much. You leave the store and watch as more people continue to boycott the store over the milk price. The boycott is going to continue and you know it’s only a matter of time before more of your co-workers also lose their jobs.

>While that analogy might be a little much the point still remains; how do you boycott a major company without it just hurting the people at the bottom of the food chain? We are in strange and dangerous political times as major companies align themselves with a fundamentally flawed government in the United States of America. For comic fans, seeing the head of Marvel Comics, Ike Perlmutter, donate heavily to Donald Trump‘s campaign along with his wife Laura Perlmutter. Laura later became a member of his inauguration committee, and Ike went on to score a “significant” role in Trump’s administration as an advisor on veterans’ health care.
>On January 28th, 2017 there was a mass protest at John F Kennedy Airport in New York City and the ride sharing company Uber turned off their surge pricing to say that they weren’t trying to take advantage of the strike but users were not convinced. The hashtag #deleteUber was born and not long after the tag #deleteMarvel also began to gain some traction for similar reasons. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with boycotts and they can work but the problem with trying to hurt someone like Perlmutter or the CEO of Uber Travis Kalanick is that there are a lot of people between our money and them. As we look to the analogy presented at the beginning of the article it is not Perlmutter or Kalanick who will be affected by a boycott but the people who drive the Uber cars on a daily basis and the various creative teams behind Marvel comics.

>Marvel Comics have spent the last several years expanding their roster of costumed heroes away from the handful of white men that have dominated superhero comics since their inception. The title of Wolverine has gone to a woman, Ms Marvel is a Muslim teenager, and heroes such as Black Panther, Hellcat, and Mockingbird have been getting solo series that pushes them to the forefront of the comic world. Characters are also coming out of the closet as the world of Marvel begins to look more like the inclusive world we live in today. Those creative teams are helmed by voices that are finally getting heard. If the public were to boycott Marvel then Perlmutter could look at the comics and decide that the reason for these low sales isn’t because of anything he did but the current line up. The reason for the low sales are all these new inclusive characters so we need to cancel all of those books and return everything to the status quo. Not only have many people lost their jobs but we, as readers, have lost the opportunity to see new faces in the Marvel universe.
>So what can we, as consumers, do to let Perlmutter know that we don’t support him supporting Trump without putting a bunch of good people out of a job? It’s a question of morality which means that it is subjective but there are ways to hurt the bottom line without hurting the creators of these books. The reality of the situation is that Perlmutter likely cares about toys and merchandise a lot more than the comic side of the business. If you must boycott Marvel then boycott the merchandise. It is also best to support progressive books, the ones that are pushing the boundaries and being more inclusive, because there is nothing more irritating to a bigot than seeing progressive books fly off of the shelves. Perlmutter has little to do with the movies so there isn’t any real reason to boycott those but holding out on merchandise likely wouldn’t hurt either.
>>
>The reality of the situation comes down to “what are you willing to risk to make a point?” It’s something protesters ask themselves every time they go out and risk the chance of getting arrested. As consumers, we have to ask ourselves is the risk of losing Kamala Khan, Miles Morales, or Laura Kinney worth telling Perlmutter that this will not stand. There is a line to walk but there is always the chance that boycott would hurt the wrong people. It’s what happens when the problem is at the very top of a major company; there are layers upon layers of grunt level workers that could be hurt before you get to the top.
>To hurt Ike Perlmutter we risk losing all of the progress the various creative teams at Marvel have made over the last several years. However, if we do nothing then we risk complacency and nothing changing. What are we willing to risk?

They're willing to boycott Simon & Shuster for having the audacity to publish an "alt-right" book no matter who it ends up hurting but want to bend over backwards to keep Marvel in their lives. Roxanne Gay even pulled a book from S&S but has no problem cashing those Marvel checks.

This is an objective fact and she's treating it like it's a goddamn crime. No, people don't want to read about female Thor or black teenage female Iron Man. People like the established characters because they know them already and they have a long history behind them, and their central gimmick is their superpowers, not their gender or skin color.
I've always been really confused about why these people want to push so hard for representation in such a silly, frivolous medium. They're comic books. In particular, SUPERHERO COMICS. Superhero comics are silly and everyone knows it. They're fun. They're cheesy. They're ridiculous. Yeah, you can have real emotional moments in there, but it's in between Steve Rogers traveling through time to punch himself in the face in the past when he was a werewolf, to inspire himself not to give up hope on being cured of lycanthropy. People aren't coming here to find situations that resonate with them, they want to see Green Lantern do some ridiculous bullshit with his ring.

BILLIONAIRE IN PANIC AT SJW THREATS OF BOYCOTT
We Might Stop Buying Your Stuff..
Except for those progressive characters you have, we'll still buy those. Actually we don't even buy comics but we'll still use them to virtue signal on Tumblr.

They yell and scream and no matter what you do you can’t get this person to understand that you have no control over the price changes. The customer gets madder and madder and eventually goes out declaring that they are never going to shop there again.
My first job was working as at the concession counter at a movie theater. I got yelled at on almost a nightly basic about the price of popcorn, the price of candy, etc. For some reason, people seemed to think that I, a 16 year old, was personally responsible for setting the prices.

First of all, who the fuck is Boycotting Marvel? This is literally the first hearing of this.
Secondly, Perlmutter got shuffled off to Disney to run the TV and film division years ago. He's so removed from Marvel's published output it's almost laughable to think he'd care about a boycott.
Thirdly, where the fuck have you morons been for the DECADES Perlmutter was making working the Marvel Bullpen a living hell?? They've been telling you for YEARS this guy was an untouchable MONSTER to the point that his ruthless penny-pinching is LEGEND. Y'all niggas late as all fucking hell.
Finally, WHO THE FUCK IS CALLING FOR A MARVEL BOYCOTT??
It's such an ass-backwards thing to do it boggles my mind. Who even needs to boycott a publishing house with sales as poor as Marvel's? With books as aggressively progressive-pandering as Marvel's?

Hold up, I thought it was capitalism in America. Just because someone (or fucking nobody) buys your comics doesn't mean there's some hidden agenda behind it.

Really? Does every written piece on the internet now have to talk about US government now?
Ok, whatever, one sentence of him venting, now let me see that article about actual problems in comic books...
>If the public were to boycott Marvel then Perlmutter could look at the comics and decide that the reason for these low sales isn’t because of anything he did but the current line up. The reason for the low sales are all these new inclusive characters so we need to cancel all of those books and return everything to the status quo.
Oh god.
Are you fucking kidding me now?
He's thinking people aren't buying Marvel anymore because they are boycotting Perlmutter for supporting Trump? This man is insane.
OP, why did you make me read this inane bullshit?
>>
>>89577515
>>While that analogy might be a little much the point still remains;
A little much? It doesn't make any fucking sense. Is the grocery store an LCS? If you're boycotting a single store, that doesn't affect the entire comic industry. Is the store supposed to be the industry itself? That only works if milk was over a third of that store's source of profit. Holy fuck what are you even trying to say

Reagan had a political career for a long time before he was president. He started out as a SAG board member (and FBI informant) in 1941, and was drafted, returning in '46 and becoming president of SAG in '47, a role he served in for 7 consecutive terms, throughout some of the most politicized years of Hollywood (in fact, most of the names on the Hollywood blacklist from '47 onwards during the McCarthy purges were provided by Reagan). Subsequently, in 1954 McCarthy was censured by congress for his actions related to HUAC and, co-incidentally, Reagan decided to stop standing for president of SAG (which held elections every year).
With film roles drying up from the early 1950s partly because he was getting older and partly because he'd deliberately destroyed people he personally disliked by selling them out to HUAC (an open secret even at that time), Reagan moved into tv roles, where he made more money and became more famous than he ever had been in film, where he'd mostly played supporting roles and rarely the lead, having begun his career as a part-timer in any case due to his employment by USAAF. His politics changed during this time from Roosevelt Democrat to Republican, and in 1962 - 21 years after he first became involved in any kind of politics - Reagan was eagerly accepted by the GOP as a high-profile member well-known to the public as an orator (his role on General Electric Theater).
In 1964 he campaigned for Goldwater in the presidential election; in 1967 Reagan was himself elected Governor of California, a role he held until 1975. In 1976, he narrowly lost the GOP presidential candidacy to incumbent President Gerald Ford. In 1980, after successfully winning the GOP nomination, Reagan won the Presidency by believing in states' rights but not believing in bears.
tl;dr no, it's really quite new, and you should be terrified by the lack of political experience on offer from today's candidates, even beyond Trump

In order to actually dissolve the two party system you'd need a constitutional convention, the current system we have in place effectively ensures two major national parties will exist. And arguably it wouldn't change all that much since countries with multiparty systems tend to have 3 or 4 big parties at most which go into coalition with smaller, more radical ones.

Wait, that fucking comparison is retarded. I'm sane enough to realize what exactly raises prices on milk (retarded tax, cartel, cow rabies) and protest against that or somehow raise cow rabies awareness. With SJW comics it's an actual choice a writer and editor have to make, or is this a hidden call for help? "We can't even chose what we write! We were taken over by CTR! Send help!" in any other scenario that is the dumbest argument I have ever seen. Or they are talking about comic book stores?

You all know damn well there are multiple ways of harming a singular person, both violent and non-violent.
You could spray him with pva glue and feathers. You could throw water balloons at him, only the water balloons are filled with mountain dew and cheeto dust. You create informative posters on why Perlmutter's an ass, with statistics. You could list all the companies he's associated with in conjunction with that to make him lose money. You could glitter him. You could follow him around, and play a singular chosen song to haunt him for the rest of his life. You could sneak into every event he hosts and embarass him by making him look like a fool.

This much is true.
Ms. Marvel is the only exception because of all the new books it's the only one that has even a little bit of heart to it. It's a good read.
ANGR was a pretty decent book too when the really good artist was on it. They were really making cool comics.
Every other "diversity" title is a fucking dumpster fire- Including Bendis' baby boy Miles. Miles Morales is hugely disappointing as a character because it COULD WORK. None of the stories in his book go ANYWHERE. It's the biggest literal "It's Fucking Nothing" meme of a fucking character it makes my stomach turn.
But as to the why it matters, it just does. Kids like to see heroes that look like them. It's kinda superficial a little. (on the surface, anyway... there are deeper reasons for why "representation matters" but fuck you I'm not having that discussion)
Even when Steve Rogers or Hal Jordon punch werewolf aliens from the planet Lycanoid, it's just a bit more enjoyable when those heroes look like you. Which you can tell whenever a new TV or film hero that historically does look like you gets played by an actor that doesn't.
In every medium, not just comics. Vidya, cartoons, literature... it's all valid.

>But as to the why it matters, it just does. Kids like to see heroes that look like them. It's kinda superficial a little.
Well, not necessarily. There are some example of heroes not looking like the kids they cater to and working out fine. That was one of the key points in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. On top of that, it seems minority kids all enjoy white heroes just fine, it's not so much of an issue with them wanting to look like the hero. They just want to be entertained.
On top of that, you're literally arguing the same thing Bendis is arguing. He wanted to make a black super hero because he felt that black kids needed their own spiderman. WHich isn't true because black kids enjoy spiderman the way he is.
>it's just a bit more enjoyable when those heroes look like you
Thats also incorrect. Because things like this is subjective depending on the person. If this was the case then people like Bendis wouldn't exist. On a more personal note, as a minority I also enjoyed characters of other races. I rarely thought about race when watching a cartoon, that came much later in my teen years.
>Which you can tell whenever a new TV or film hero that historically does look like you gets played by an actor that doesn't.
See that's when I think bias comes in. Because a time before there were cases of this happening, however no one really had entire politics based around it. See now, when it does happen, there's an assumption that it's happening because of a specific political agenda. Which is fair enough, there's nothing wrong with backing out of something because you don't agree with the politics, but at least acknowledge as such.
>In every medium, not just comics. Vidya, cartoons, literature... it's all valid.
That's not true, because some of the highest selling games, well watched cartoons, and beloved and respected books are all with character of non-white origins.

I'm just saying they're ready to punish one company for something they're even less actively involved with than the company whose ass they can't stop kissing. They're ready to twist themselves into emotional pretzels to figure out loopholes so they can continue kissing said ass and ignore the fact that those loopholes also apply to the company they've already decided to punish without any further debate.
If they won't listen to reasonable debate AND can't even follow through on their convictions, what good are they as a movement/cause?
They're not ready to actually fuck shit up but they're also unwilling to compromise and work with anybody unless it's immediately comfortable for them.
That's not going to get anyone anywhere and will only further fracture things down the line.

See, this is the quandry. What is captialism and what is politics? In the US they are so linked. I am ok with people politically expressing their opinion and not supporting Ike, i don't think any Marvel fan wants to support him. But this causes collateral damage that hurts authors far worse. Ike is set, he has all the money he will ever need and he will never give another penny to the creators.
It is just a bad boycott. If you boycott wallmart over Chinese slave factories that can work cause what you hurt is the company....and thr slave factory. If you boycott marvel you hurt authors and artists, not ike.

Yes, some of your products will be failures, while others will succeed. No, they should not tank entire sectors of you business, and if they do, it shouldn't happen more than once.

If you boycott Wal-Mart you hurt more than just the company and the slave factory. You hurt many people who can only find goods and/or employment at Wal-Mart because Wal-Mart saw fit to make sure they were the only available game in town.

Nobody ever learns from their mistakes. The christian neocon conservative voices that used to run the USA are still selling the same bullshit that they used to, even though neither the right nor the left are paying attention to them anymore.

...What, you want me to cite the career progression of good businessmen? Who am I going to compare Trump to, 50 cent and his daft ideas?
You know what, fine, points should always be justified.
Notice a clear progression in this group, where setbacks often lead to a company improving. I've cited billionaires here, but I've included others as well for variety.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Slim
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabe_Newell
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashton_Kutcher
My list of citations is rather small, but that's mainly because the profiling of millionaires via a single source is surprisingly inadequate.
In general however, you notice that there's a common theme; weakness and open opportunities in the market are exploited, existing ones are improved, there's a clear thirs for knowledge... Carlos Slim is shady to me, but he does fit in this moderately well, so he's a good example for this.
Now compare a different, inexpert 'businessman' known mainly as 50 cent;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Cent
This guy is pretty terrible. He starts off earning money with his music, but the problem is he then ventures into other markets without any of that interest, knowledge or hunch on new exploitations that would be useful.
His videogames were trash, his headphones were a dead end, his poor ass social choices got him sued another couple of million, he's invested in overestimated property which he has then had to sell for much less than it's worth., the list goes on and on.
To stay on topic, why has perlmutter been a ghost these part forever? That's unusual for anyone that isn't a cult leader.

Fucking amazing, they don't even know what a boycott IS. This is why we comic fans have the reputation we do and I applaud them in working so hard to maintain it. Stellar results.
This is the "I want to have my cake AND eat it too! And dress it up for my next birthday calling it by its preferred pronouns!" generation, and I can't wait to see us out of the picture.

1 This will never work because this guy has gone off the deep end.
2 They are not going to target comics but the merchandise.
3 Even if people follow this nutjob, it will only slightly hurt the sale of merchandise that SJWs buy, so mostly the minority characters that get pushed. This will result in Marvel shifting it's focus to heroes that do sell (white male heroes) and the comics will follow in time too.
For short, the most that can come from this is SJWs killing the comics that were made just for them and not knowing how or why it happened.
