Will all the hamfisted attempts Marvel and DC have made at going after diversitybux since around 2014, why was Daniel Kibblesmith's New Warriors the one that exploded all over the internet? It even got to the point where Rogan was skewering it on his show.

Because it was an intentional part of the joke to be incredibly overly dated in that way. The original New Warriors is thought of as THE 90s team so in creating the new one the idea was to be as late 2010s as possible. But the book never came out bc of covid (and probably/possibly the reaction but that's never stopped Marvel before) and no one ever looked into it beyond seeing that one image so they took it straight faced.
>I-I-it was a joke!
No. People writing shit like that have zero self-awareness.
There's a difference between a joke and outrage bait. He gets off on being called shit
This is the same board that thinks Uncle Ruckus is serious and not meant to be mocked. I don't think most people here can tell the difference.
If you look at Daniel Kibblesmith's track record it's clear it was 100% done in earnest. This is the guy who wrote a kids book about black santa. Who's also whiter santa's husband.
And that triggers you, doesn’t it?
DROP THE GOALPOST
DROP IT
You'd let Kibblesmith poop in your mouth if it would mildly annoy some chud 10 feet away.
Don't like our whining? That's what we had to put up with and now it's your turn.
That's the price of victory. What, you think we'd just fade into obscurity and die in a corner while you gloat?
>Because it was an intentional part of the joke to be incredibly overly dated in that way.
Kibblesmith directly contradicts you in the PR material.

That twitter link is about 5 mins of him explaining what his plan was. Seems very straightforward.
If it was supposed to be a joke, that book would have come out. It's been more than 3 years now.
Probably because they unironically named characters shit like Safespace and Snowflake and everyone found that fricking laughable.
his bizarre attempt to reclaim "snowflake" and "safespace"
also they're siblings why did he draw them like this
we need more completely emasculating black representation like this
Agreed, we need more black incest.
Dunno if you noticed, but every woke show or game has the gay or at least "queen coder" weak black guy these days.
Kibblesmith didn't have enough reputation so that he'd get immunity. He pissed off the far left as well. The right increased publicity but nobody really cares what they want.
Something like Buck wild from Icon? BUCK BREAKER.
Snowflake
Safespace
The "take those words and kind of wear them as badges of honor"
Meme-Obsessed who gets the Internet Gas
Chubs and her magic backpack from God (but not that one)
B-Negative The decent guy.
combine that with their bland designs and Kibblesmith's trying to hype them up created a perfect storm of cringe that kill them dead.
Marvel's newest and hottest superhero: Captain Cuck! He gets super powers every time his wife is getting fricked by other men
That's just current Spider-Man
>Marvel's newest and hottest superhero: Reparator!
Caught in an experiment meant to destroy his White Privilege, Reparator uses his newfound White Guilt Gaze to...guilt white people into giving their stuff to the criminals!
You joke, but there was a guy who owned a comic shop I went to a few times who wanted to make a comic with that exact premise.
I read a doujin once about an RPG hero who could only level up when someone else fricked his wife.
Bueno...
I think it was unironically a psyop.
The thing about the new warriors pitch was that it was *too* on the nose. Characters literally named Snowflake and Safespace? Come the frick on.
Then you look at the context: they were a superteam put together by the government after that Children's War event. It rang of "hello fellow kids" neoliberalism like Hillary Clinton doing memes.
I think what happened was this:
1. Make an intentionally cringey team of capes
2. Viral marketing and force meme of how cringe they are
3. Book comes out and says "psyche! them being cringe in universe is the joke!"
But they never GOT to step 3 because of pandemic and neglected to realize that people are so addicted to outrage now that they don't understand when something is a joke.
>i-it was a JOKE! to dunk on the LIBS
Are you people aware of what kind of person Kibblesmith is
Seriously dude you think this guy is a walking wojack and it's NOT a gag?
How much self awareness can you lack? You're no different than any tumblerite that thinks edgy jokes makes you a nazi.
You're not good at gaslighting, my guy.
the wojak meme exists because it's a very real phenotype. Kibblesmith is a quintessential example of it. He's a israeli Marvel writer. he wrote a kids book about a black gay santa. He was a writer on the late show with stephen colbert. Constantly tweets out anti-com sentiments.
you think he's just REALLY committed to the bit?
anti-cop*, even
I think that there's levels to a bit.
And make no mistake I don't think it would've been a good book. Or a non "woke" one.
But it reminds me a lot of shit like Velma. Where it's so over the top with it that it kind of comes off as cynical about it and the kind of shit that someone here would make in order to take the piss out of leftists. You don't *accidentally* make that level of cringe.
>the wojak meme exists because it's a very real phenotype
out of curiosity would you say the same of meal team six?
>the wojak meme exists because it's a very real phenotype.
Not all unattractive men are woke consumerists. it's lookism to say that.
>we are not the stereotype you think we are! we were just pretending to act that way!
LMAO
He's israeli? What are the chances?!
his name is Kibblesmith because his ancestors made dogfood.
now he makes goyslop.
So if people are trawling the dude's twitter how come no one ever asked what the plan was?
Kibblesmith's track record says otherwise. He's got decades of work, and as been nominated for 5 emmys for late night talk show writing.
That's a reasonable direction. He's apparently been quite earnest at other times with things just as nutty though, so I'm not sure. He tries the extreme shit, then pretends it was just a joke more than once if the reaction is bad.
We have government documents tracking this issue. Seems real enough to me.
He blocks anyone who asks about it, regardless of political position.
Are you on drugs? Even pol isn't that far off anon.
I swear there needs to be video essays about this being lost media and the behind-the-scenes of whatever crack Marvel PR was on.
>why was Daniel Kibblesmith's New Warriors the one that exploded all over the internet?
Because he managed to convey the current writers' mindset perfectly.
More LGBTQ, ugly designs, contrived writing, and less action and violence (in a comic called New WARRIORS).
Who the frick wants to read that?
Because normalgays only hear about things when they cause enough outrage to make rounds on the internet
I have a posture almost as bad as that. Not quite but it's getting there. Will going to the gym reverse it somehow?
You need strong neck and back muscles to hold yourself up. Going to the gym doesn't guarantee a fix. NOT going to the gym guarantees failure.
Unironically is this specific look caused by modern diets and chemicals fricking up people?
Look up old pics and even the skinny bald guys with glasses didn’t look this weak.
Nowadays we have
>women taking the pill, filling them with synthetic hormones, when they piss into the sewer system and the water is filtered for consumption. The hormones aren’t actually removed. So common water is filled with oestrogen compared to any other time in human history
>cows artificially bulked up with hormones, so their meat does the same when consumed
>most plastics actually release synthetic estrogen, which isn’t a big deal if it’s for a toy or clock but when it’s used to package and contain literallt every food item and drink, it rubs off and builds up
It’s a fact that in 1900. The average age for a girl to get her first period was 16-17. Nowadays it’s 12
Part of this can be put down to simply everyone having a better diet. But the sheer amount of estrogen hormones artificially introduced into the population is also a cause.
So surely this would also affect men? Would explain why male sperm counts have literallt halved for men in developed countries since the 70’s
>Western sperm counts 'halved' in last 40 years
>"Sperm counts among Western men have halved in last 40 years," The Guardian reports. A major review of research carried out since 1973 found an estimated 50-60% drop in sperm count in developed nations.
https://www.nicswell.co.uk/health-news/western-sperm-counts-halved-in-last-40-years#:~:text=unselected%20Western%20men%20had%20a,to%20137.5%20million%20in%202011
Bizarre how this doesn’t actually get treated as a serious issue by any major political party.
because alex jones screamed about chemicals in the water turning frogs gay and it was heckin funny and memable and no one took it seriously
but he was right
he was always right
Conspiracytards and Q Anon drumpf maniacs. Please frick off with the ramblings. What next, the israelites did it too?
Fact. People are happier and healthier today than ever in human history.
see what I mean?
our water supply is full of estrogen runoff and anyone who points it out is a conspiritard dipshit.
>healithier
generally speaking, yes, save for certain circumstances
>happier
absofrickinglutely not. Suicide rates per capita are higher than they've ever been in human history,
the human psyche isn't evolved to deal with the problems of the modern world.
a couple thousand years ago if someone tried to take your home from you, you'd cave their head in with a rock. Now when the bank decides to take your home, all you can do is lie there and take it in the ass.
the human psyche isn't evolved to deal with anything more complicated than throwing pointy sticks at woolly mammoths how is Suicide on the rise when modern man is no more out of his element now then he was in the 1980's 60's or 40's
Gay frogs was just a sensationalist way to describe a legitimate phenomenon of frogs developing multiple sets of genitals or swapping genders from all that runoff.
Is it me, or did he look more masculine when he was 27? (Although, I think it looks like his hair was already thinning and receding at that point)
what happened to nerds
it's like they're even wimpier and more pathetic than they were in the 90s
90s nerds would be jocks and bullies compared to contemporary nerds
How do you get this bald at your mid 30s?
See
Not even balding either, look how patchy it is. Like he’s got cancer.
>Really bad idea
>Horrendous execution
>Just bafflingly fricking stupid
>all presented by a lumpy little manlet with the facial structure of a smushed jellybean with a sad hairline and weak beard
Perfect storm.
What's interesting is that almost no one from the alphabet army defended him. For a brief moment, they saw behind the veil and said "wow, all this diversity really is just superficial pandering bullshit." But it's not in their interest to call this out, so they just left it alone and let everyone else have a go at it, mock it, and completely bury it. The sooner it went away, the better.
OH SHIT I GET THE JOKE NOW MAGICAL BACKPACK AND SHE'S HISPANIC
