Soon? boards.cgccomics.com/topic/498545-superman-colorist-quits-over-comics-embrace-of-wokeness-tired-of-this-s/#comments" Well, the waters certainly have become murky. Let's take a peek, shall we? It's 2021 in the zany house. Not 1942. "Truth" has become the eye of the beholder. Your opinions and dubious "truths" may be utter bollocks to someone else. And maybe verifiable so. And vice versa, yes? Truth doesn't hold much water anymore when someone starts bawling about their "rights". Even when they are completely off their nuts. Then, we have to give the baby its bottle and we end up making no progress. Only lateral moves. "Justice" has become whatever the "Law" metes out and is based on whatever laws are on the books. Complete monsters have been let off on a slip of the defending lawyers tongue. That isn't justice. That's the law. Now, if the killer of my family member goes free because of a technicality, he/she needn't bother disbelieving justice is hot on their trail. It would be. Then, I would be subject - ironically - to the full extent of the law. A Better Tomorrow? See: "Truth". A Better Tomorrow SHOULD be a middle ground compromise. Again. See "Truth". The colorist isn't happy with a Superman character becoming gay or bi-sexual, either. He knows the average doof isn't going to see the character as Jon Kent. The average paper-waster is going to see Jon Kent - Son Of Whatever Superman exists now - AS THE Superman and run around saying "Well, now SUPERMAN is gay!" So, What are we to do? I'M not happy about ANY comic book character being characterized a gay or bi-sexual, either. It's infantile at least and pandering to an added demographic so they TOO will feel included and also - by some "coincidence" - become interested in comic books. At some point, someone will tell me point blank or slyly that I am somehow wrong or not entitled to a personal POV. Neither is true and yet SOMEONE will go bananas and tell me I'm a caveman or some sort of "phobe". ! Or have fake pity for me. Yes. That's always an amusing thing. But I can say THIS, at least: I don't know, know of or have ever met ANY heroin addict suddenly becoming interested in comic books or feeling "included" when Green Lantern/Green Arrow #85 & 86 were published. Never met a one that said "Man. This could happen to ME! I gotta get myself squared AWAY!" THAT being said, I couldn't care less how ANY of them are written at this point. It doesn't make me a monster for not going along with the status quo. Because for ME, a better tomorrow would include having stories NOT bog down in material or subject matter that cause me to have ZERO interest or sympathy in them or for them. Am I not a part of a targeted marketing demograph as well? Shall the majority again have to tolerate the minority? Most likely, yes. The choice will be "Either read or don't." Will DC be surprised when the readership falls off a cliff? Probably. Suddenly, Jon Kent's head will "clear" or he will be killed Because what does one do with a character who was thought to be accepted suddenly shunned? Change of course. Death. Or amnesia. The last bastion of a writer who wrote himself into a corner. The biggest point here is we have gotten too far away from a common consensus for "Truth, Justice and a Better Tomorrow." Whose better tomorrow? The US? China? Canada? The Soviet Union? Pakistan? The UAE? If any ONE of us think ANY country or nation on the face of the Earth is prepared to relinquish its sovereignty, they have another think coming. So, a "Better Tomorrow" is pretty far away from all of us, sadly. Perhaps "The American Way" still applies. At least for now. I mean, does Superman now have the authority to operate in a clandestine manner? Or is he still pretty much an American Capitalists tool? The colorist is passionate and that is certain. But so are others who hold a different POV. How long do we think it will be before unstoppable force meets immovable object? "

Pretty dufus thread all around. I guess nobody read the Wed. Rules Post by the Kahuna, because over half of the posts violated the Rules, including Donna.
CGC Mike.... really? Good Lord. I mean, it does not the same impact of "Army Colin" (made that up for emphasis), and seems to lack the humbleness factor, but Pride before the Fall.
Never ask the other guy to do what you won't do yourself.

Hey Guys,
We need at least one volunteer to be an LTPC Game Master in order to keep the points tally up to date. I will train you. And, if you would like to remain anonymous, you can use the LTPC Game Master #1 account to make the posts instead of your own (I'll just give you the password). If you are comfortable using basic Excel functions, I have a spreadsheet that makes everything super easy, but it's not necessary as you can easily do it by hand.
If you are interested, just PM me.
