Why does it seem like manga has better female writers than comics? Some of the best jap-comics are written by women, but I don't recall any American comics that stand out that is written by a woman.

I'm sure there are some out there.
The trick is to not write the main character as a self-insert.
>Read American comics
>American comics cater to American culture
>Doesn't understand it
Learn American culture
Is being a single mother, a high school dropout, part-time sex worker and into astrology high status in America?
Depends on the state, and which part of the state.
This is not American culture, it's rootless cosmopolitan culture.
If you are a woman in Japan your life will be as hard or even harden than a man's life(unless you are an idol). If you are a woman in America you will get special treatment no matter what profession you have.
Idol's lives are micromanaged nightmares.
>(unless you are an idol)
Yeah, then its 10 times worse
I´ve worked in japan for a couple of years. All my co-workers give their whole salary to their wifes. In japan the regular wife spent all day in home and usually is the one who manage money. It was funny to see my co-workers ask for money to for a drinks to an izakaya, like if they was a 15 YO asking for money to their mothers.
It honestly makes some sense. If the guy is at work all day he doesn't want to bother managing money. Plus he isn't primarily in charge of the house and kids which are the most important expenditures.
>It honestly makes some sense. If the guy is at work all day he doesn't want to bother managing money. Plus he isn't primarily in charge of the house and kids which are the most important expenditures.
Imagine having a clear distinction of sexes and roles where in the wife's primary job it to take care of the house and the man is as a provider.
I asked why they didn't cut an item for them, but in my very personal opinion, a lot of japanese man are just looking for a second mother. A lot of them have a very cold relationship with their wives and both having affairs is seen as natural.
Being married and sex life in japan is OK until kids are born, then even your wife will be OK with you having a monthly visit to a prostitute
>Some of the best jap-comics are written by women
lol, unless it's about murdering their boyfriends it's all trash
>Talking shit about Dorohedoro
Black person I will fight you.
Meh.
fullmetal alchemist was good

Naoko Takeuchi wrote Sailor Moon. Rumiko Takahashi wrote, Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku, Ranma or Inuyasha. Rioko Ikeda wrote Versailles no Bara. Machiko Hasegawa wrote Sazae-San. etc.
The point is japan have female Authors more than just comic book artists or comic book writers
I liked Ranma 1/2
Because western readers are way more hostile towards women writers, as well as gatekeeping kept most women out of comics until fairly recently because muh boys club
Letting them in was a mistake
>Because western readers are way more hostile towards women writers
we can all see why?
I hate that I've seen this exact same template thread posted here before and that I gave it a (You) regardless
It's unintentional, given her speech, but the single greatest thing about this comic is that the only people masked (against COVID-2049) are the servants. There's the one in the bottom right and the one partially obscured by the text bubble in the center left.
Meanwhile, the protagonist and the 'evil' corporate types are unmasked.
Less narcissism, which is poison for storytelling for most writers.
Wait wait wait, the last CFO had to step down for soliciting a sex worker, but this chick IS A SEX WORKER? What fricking sense does that make?
In my experience part time sex worker usually means "I strip on weekends whenever I need some quick cash."
In all seriousness, business execs typically have morality and public image clauses in their contracts.
>In all seriousness, business execs typically have morality and public image clauses in their contracts.
Ok but how does she get the position when she's out and proud over violating that same potential clause?
She's not the new CFO. Also it's a soliloquy.
It make more sense than a chemical engineer who is a high school dropout.
I could see that making sense in a situation where a character is such a genius that traditional schooling was an active hindrance, but I don't think that's what's being implied here.
if you're a chemical engineer you need high school grades in order to access to uni. I know it's just a comic book but being a highschool dropout is sort of incompatible with being an engineer.
Does Cinemaphile have dementia? It's the same 10 fricking threads over and over.
Cinemaphile has the same handful of autistic posters that recycle the same bait over and over again, yes.
is that woman supposed to be liked in the comic?
The women on Japan can write deep and thought provoking stuff. The women in America write stupid genrefiction/capeshit with moronic "gotcha" moments like "all men are bad lmao" and then proceeding to show women kicking ass while men are dumb, incompetent and shown up.
It's a white women thing.
This.
White women were never great writers but nowadays they get gassed up everywhere they go, so truly awful writers end up having their garbage praised to high heaven.
Before, it was a boy's club. Now, only the talentless work in comics.
You won't find any good American female comic writers. Move along and never make this thread again.
>Pacifist run
>Including escaping the bullet hell
She obviously means Sans here, but you don't fight him on a pacifist run.
>a highschool dropout who is a chemical engineer
>Scorpio (water sign) asking for no water signs despite the fact that is her highest comparability astrologically
It's quite fascinating that when I read this shit my brain parses the first 5 words and then stops working. I'm pretty sure my eyes look like I'm having a stroke. My brain just stomps its foot and says "NO", and my eyes can see the words, the letters are in focus, but they are virtually unreadable, as if I were looking at one of those puzzle games where you see either a duck or a rabbit, but I see neither. It's such a hard sensory shutdown. I enjoy Melville and dry articles about technical things, but this, this shit, my brain refuses. It mostly happens with capeshit, but most contemporary American comics do this to me. It's something in the writing, something subtle that my brain knows and I don't, and my brain hates it more than I do, that's why it has attempted to shield my waking consciousness from it.
Because American comics just have worse writers in general before you bring gender into it, as the model is not conducive to good storytelling. ESPECIALLY when it comes to capeshit. Why do you idiots expect someone to give it their all to play in a shit filled sandbox where anything they build will get knocked over by the next child?
They're not as poisoned by feminist victim complex propaganda
Because American/Western Women are insane.
>Why does it seem like manga has better female writers than comics?
It had a subset of writers who are female and pretty good, smaller today than it was in the 90s and the 2000s, CLAMP's golden era tbh.
However I strongly suspect the mangas you specifically think are female written are written by men pretending to be women or outright paying a girl to pretend to be them because it sells better.
Female writers in comics are rare because superheroes made it a boys club, only highly tolerant women could stand the place. You will find more women in counter-cultural scenes such as zine groups and the indie comics zeitgeist.
Also the chick from Dungeon Menshi should totally collab with Keraskoet.
>You will find more women in counter-cultural scenes such as zine groups and the indie comics zeitgeist.
And their writing also largely sucks.
>And their writing also largely sucks.
Past a certain point your argument deteriorated to "comics sucks"
That's a pretty wild leap in logic.
Most zine groups and indie comics have grating as frick writing to anyone who's not inundated in their specific subculture or a clout chaser.
Guys like Hanselman are the exception since he's self-aware and has actually lived enough of a fricked up life to not be annoyingly sheltered.
>It had a subset of writers who are female and pretty good, smaller today than it was in the 90s and the 2000s,
That's wrong. There are more now than there were back then, especially indie since the market is bigger.
>Also the chick from Dungeon Menshi should totally collab with Keraskoet.
Isn't their thing making fantasy series with weird species? DM uses much more orthodox D&D creatures and races compared to that.
