The Witcher, a Polish video game series about Slavic mythology. Most of the Eastern Europeans I've talked to only seen like 5 black people in their entire lives. This Polish guy told me he didn't see a black person outside of TV and movies for the first time in his life until he was 20. But yeah, go insert 5 black characters in every Polish, Russian, Japanese or Korean game, movie, series, comic, etc from now on. That's very realistic and believable alright... |

Aw, yeah, the Polish people in my family who actually came from Poland were pretty unapologetically racist. The whole "only saw 5 black people in their entire lives" thing is no exaggeration, other than if it even WAS 5, that'd be a lot for some of them. More like two, at most. And of course all they ever knew of them were the jokes and stereotypes, so to them that was "factual information".
Every single thing I've ever heard about Polish people has proven itself 100% true, though. None of it good.

Honestly I feel like Western civilization is going backwards. Which is ironic considering how supposedly progressive a lot of young people are nowadays. Yet attractive women showing cleavage seems to offend them. Where's the logic in that? |

Anybody who'd complain about Nami's tits is Teh Gay.
I don't even give a sh*t about anime. Just sayin'.

I don't even see the big deal. Everybody loves attractive women. Other women like attractive women. Even gays like attractive women (even though they have no desire to **** em).
I mean how can these people that want to normalize polygamy and practice hook up culture get so worked up about anime boobs? Sure I'm ****ing Lindsay and Chelsea behind Chloe's back but Nami's animated boobies offend me.

Funny thing is, Nami and Robin are both very well written characters and arguably the two smartest members of the Straw Hat pirates. So reducing them to their tits is very unfair. If anything their bodies are a bonus. I guess women can't be both intelligent and sexy anymore or something. Also, there's a study that states that there's actually a high correlation between large breasts and intelligence in women. Food for thought. Mother nature might as well go all the way through and give a woman two of the best qualities she could have: brains and boobs. |

I remember reading Ben Bishop’s political tweets, which unsurprisingly were all about bashing Republicans and praising Democrats. I think he stopped being political after the rise in gas prices though. He may have even deleted the tweets, though I could be wrong. I actually got to meet him at the Lexington Comic Con. Hardly anyone visited his booth, while over a hundred people waited in line for over five hours, including yours truly, just to meet Kevin Eastman. Well, what did Bishop expect? He’s a woke artist in a red state.

Celebrities and other famous people should be more diplomatic about their political views. Everyone has the right to an opinion, but when you're a public figure and your fans are your life hood, you should have some common sense and avoid saying things that might make you lose fans and thus lose money. |

But while Bishop, like the rest of us, has the right to express his political opinions, he should’ve kept in mind that Kentuckians have Twitter accounts, too, and a lot of them are pretty bitter about the gas prices right now. It’s just not good for business.

Lately George Takei has been one of the nastier ones saying that kind of crap. Then he'll wonder why his lines at cons are getting smaller and smaller. The Left loves to say you have the freedom to your opinion but just keep in mind that there will be consequences. They forget that rule also applies to them. To a lesser degree sure, but they're not immune.

There's several also hilarious steps missing in the middle of that, but yes.

I like how Young Rippa parodied that in one of his tweets.
"If you don't like my politics, you can still buy my book."

Sh*t like that is why Dan Jurgens is my all-time favorite comics creator.
Not only do I love his artwork and his writing style - although I confess, never in my life had I ever seen or heard Superman say "WHOA!" before Jurgens did it, and he does it A LOT, with him - but I mean, I can't tell you one thing about the guy's politics. At all. I don't know if anyone even knows. What's mostly known and been said about Jurgens is, "He's the nicest guy in the business." That's all you hear, not a peep otherwise. Just, "He's such a nice guy, and he works SO hard." 30+ years in the business and no whispers, scandals or scuttlebutt. He works hard, he's good with Continuity Stuff, I think he's Canadian, I believe he's married, and he's known for taking the people who interview him out to lunch, paying for their meal, and then asking them if they need a ride anywhere. That's the most you hear about, with him, you never hear anything else. What are his politics? Damned if I know. If he's Canadian, he probably leans left, but I swear you couldn't glean anything about it from his work alone. The industry could use a LOT more people like That Guy, that's all I gotta say.

Superman is just channeling his inner Keanu Reeves.

I wouldn't doubt it. According to Jurgens's 1993 output from when he had Clark rooming with jimmy for a while, Clark is something of a heavy metal aficionado. You haven't lived until you see a panel of Lois walking in on Jimmy and Clark having an honest-to-God in-depth discussion about the finer points of heavy metal music. It's bliss.
All joking aside I kinda dug it, though. Some people thought it was a bit forced, but the idea was just to reinforce the notion that Clark's a relatively open-minded guy. Like, the character at the time had been in print for 50+ years but on-paper he was only like 35; there's nothing wrong with establishing something to push back against the idea some people have had that he was some kind of old fart who only listened to Pat Boone or whatever. It was cool to see him have an honest connection with one of his younger friends, as well. Gave them more of a "big brother/little brother" vibe, which they're supposed to have anyway. Ah, yeah. Once upon a time Wizard or some magazine did an interview/article on him and the writer literally kept stopping to say to the reader "It just cannot be overstated what a nice guy Dan Jurgens is." I have some stuff he signed that my Dad got off QVC or whatever, but I have never met him in person. It's on the ol' Bucket List. There's actually VERY few comics creators I'd care to meet at all but he's tops, for sure. I've told the Romeo Tanghal story before, and he was splendid as well. Really, really great guy. I gotta find the stuff he drew for me, I hope it isn't too messed up.
