What audiences like: A character who happens to be X (gay, a person of color, female, LGBT, etc). What audiences hate: A character who’s sole defining feature is one specific trait (they’re not a character, they’re the gay character, the black character, the female character). When I was young, we got the former. There were so many characters who were black, asian and/or female and that fact was never brought up unless relevant to the plot at hand. They were all just characters. They could be anything, they could be nerdy or jocks, they could be cool or lame, they could be heroes or villains, they could be super heroes or martial artists or space explorers or ninjas, etc. It was awesome. One of my favorite shows as a kid and still is, is Avatar the Last Air Bender. That show is EXCLUSIVELY Asian and all the characters are fleshed out and fully realized. One of my favorite games is a super hero based game called Freedom Force, one of my favorite characters from that series is Green Genie who is both a woman and a person of color, she’s extremely fun and useful. Nowadays however, all these types of characters are made to just talk about political issues, talk about bigotry and social justice with some of the ‘writers’ explaining that all these characters would be ‘social justice warriors’ (no, they would be actually intelligent and fight against real issues, not cartoons having big tits..). Every black character now has to fight against racism, that’s the only story they are allowed to have. Even Black Panther, a king from a fictional African Nation that is separated from EVERYONE, to where Wakanda doesn’t trust anyone in the outside world with a cure to cancer, still somehow has a movie revolving around American racial issues, because that is all a black character is allowed now. Female characters will only fight sexists, every male villain will suddenly be sexist and hate women and every female villain will side with the hero and go “I know ya struggles, sister”. Every LGBT character will just deal with homophobia, as if they don’t have any other things they could be struggling with (I am bisexual struggle with my job, money and my own issues more than homophobia). People want a return to how things use to be, where characters like this could be anything. I watched a video recently from a channel called I think YABoiZack, used to be Diversity&Comics and he talked about how characters like this used to be able to like go to space, time travel, fight aliens and robots and shit. Now they can’t, they just all fight for social justice and against their own specific bigotry. Even established characters are changed to fit this mold. Static Shock from my understanding, got his powers from a gang war he was reluctantly a part of but decided not to kill anyone in and tried to escape, now he’s been altered to have gotten his powers from a BLM protest. Thats all black characters can be now, BLM protestors, not space heroes or ninjas or pirates or robot fighters, just tokens that are written for the current political climate as opposed to interesting stories and this is true for female, and poc and LGBT characters. We want characters and stories, not woke assholes using us as a marketing gimmick and trying to make themselves look good while they no doubt perform the same bigotry they vilify in their books that don’t sell. We want our entertainment back, we’re tired of half assed propaganda only made by spiteful hacks to piss off the opposition.

Another response to WebWielding on a video from YaBoiZack

The game that 100% of everyone except for 1 guy adores and praises as the greatest version of Spider-Man of the modern age…is less good than Zdarsky’s fanfiction. Oh boy. I can’t wait to hear this…. - So the PS4 game is bad because they didn’t recreate literally every street of a real life city inside a computer game? Specifically they did not recreate HIS old apartment??????? Um….that’s some weird ass criteria there. - “It’s not really New York city” shockingly NYC DOESN’T exist within the confines of your hard drive or TV set! - Oh Noes they didn’t perfectly recreate the Empire State Building probably due to some legal issues. this means the game sucks and the story about Russia launching nukes on the USA that doesn’t result in Armageddon is obviously better - This guy admits he got 20 mins into the game play and gave up but on that basis he’s claiming Zdarsky’s fanfiction is better - You know I’ve heard someone (who’s a total fucking asshole admittedly) who comes from NYC praise this game whilst admitting it’s not 100% accurate. It’s ALMOST like the accuracy of the architecture of the game doesn’t matter to the quality of the game play as you want to swing around and be Spider-Man. - Also this game gets shit for inaccuracies to the real life NYC but Spider-Man 2 from 2004 doesn’t? - He’s swinging around and he has to fight generic hostage takers…um…how about you DON’T do those missions if you don’t want to??????? - BTW we are over 2 and a half minutes into this video and we’ve been insulting Spidey PS4 and not mentioned Life Story more than once. - Skip ahead to over 5 minutes in, he’s started talking about the comic but has now regressed back into yelling about the game. FFS talk about the comic so I can explain how wrong you are! - Did he just point to Stark and refer to him as Peter? - “Very good story” isn’t it nice that we have a 14+ minute video about Life Story that shows and tells us little beyond taking his word that it’s better than the PS4 game he barely played because he couldn’t visit his old apartment? - …Did…did this clown just genuinely say he fell for the trick that Peter Parker was a clone and Ben Reilly was the real Spider-Man….in a story remaking old stories? Like does he not know this happened before and was always a trick????????? This is like watching the ASM movie and lauding the twist that the guy Peter let go killed Uncle Ben when you’ve already seen Spider-Man 2002! - This guy likes to sit in a movie theatre in such a way that the screen fills his line of vision so he can’t properly see the full screen. Well that explains a lot. And not that doesn’t mean you should be fooled by literally the most infamous thing in Spider-Man besides One More Day, the thing everyone knows about - Yes. It’s just freakin fantastic how SPIDER-Man throws away his RESPONSIBILIIES! Jesus! - Zdarsky has grown a lot in 2 years. He’s grown worse - If LF is the result of Zdarsky taking criticism into account then he must’ve developed amnesia as the same problems plaguing Spec plagued this shitty series - “This is a classic” a remake of a 90s story is a classic? Okay.....So....I get that you need to have a need to respond to someone and criticize their statements. But, compared to the other people you critiqued, this is YoBoiZack. Richard C Meyer. The kind of guy you're not suppose to take seriously. Infact, some of the stuff he says is always stupid. Infact, the guy even admitted it himself. Some of his videos cannot be taken seriously. Even for worse stuff. Infact, even in his better videos, he always sometimes misinterprets some stuff. So, aside from the people you've criticized. Compared to the people you've critiqued, YaBoiZack is actually NOT the one you should take seriously. Like....At all. And I disagree with most of the things he's said. So, it's better not to take any of his stuff seriously even if you do try to find some more. However, unrelated to the PS4 game, If there is one thing I disagree with you on here,is that Zdarsky has gotten worse. No, if anything, Zdarsky improved since issue 6 with the whole SWAT Team, Saving people from danger, being competent towards his villains and the other heroes, making a villain turn to the side of good after connecting with him, helping his younger self be a more better person in life, his fight with Norman Osborn, his deal with the government chasing Teresa, him turning himself over the protect Aunt May, him giving Sandman one final moment even trying to reveal who he is as one last wish before he dies seeing that Flint had always been a more better person than the rest of his foes, the final issue of his run. Despite what you think of Life Story, there were some good things there in the middle with the first and final issue bring the best one. And despite that, his later works on Daredevil and Fantastic Four have proven to be solid and before you say anything on his story in Iron Man in Marvel Comics 1000. Let's be clear that this was a nothing story. The ones from DeConnick, Conway, Whitely, Kelly Thompson, and a few others were Way worse on story and nothing but bad filler. And really, is bad filler any better than a story about nothing? Because I rather have boring than bad and cringe any day. So,yeah.....Try not to take stuff on Zack seriously and your thing on Zdarsky is showing yet again.
