This guy is typical of the 'fans' that have a 'problem' with Marvel Comics

[Shaka Zulu]

The guy in question is YouTuber Diversity & Comics, who's always bitching about 'SJW's wrecking Marvel comics'. This is one of his videos:

Personally, I think he's full of hot air and a lot more than that, but perhaps I could be wrong about him. What are people's opinions on this? And is he right?

If you're going to start a thread on this, why not introduce an argument beyond a mere brief statement dislike and two non-working video links?

I accidentally watched one of these, because I thought it was about the cancellation of the comic book Mocking Bird, but it turned out to be a rant about how girls are shit, girls don't read comics so that is why Marvel is losing because they are making comics for a gender who does not read comics.

If those links do start working, do not not click on them, because Youtube will think that this is something that you are into, and proffer a ton of this sexist shit on your homepage's "suggested viewing material" you'll have no interest in unless you are sexist.

I don't usually give much credence to anything that actually says "SJW".

Probably a wise strategy.

Complaining about SJWs may seem like a sign of paranoia. But SJWs have actually ruined things in real life.

I baked a cake once but it fell and I wanted to leave it out in the rain.

A Møøse once bit my sister...
No realli! She was karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst Nordfink"...

Two young women just making a living with a little burrito truck, but being forced out of business in the wake of literally thousands of misguided and way out-of-line vindictive attacks for "cultural appropriation," including death threats: http://www.wweek.com/restaurants/ne...utrage-we-invited-portland-chefs-to-weigh-in/

Are these online crusaders for real?

Apparently they think they are.

"SJW" has been a term used online in its present day sense for over five years. Do you have any other examples that bother you that aren't from the past few months? Or is this the worst offender?

Incidentally, the article you cited doesn't even mention the term "SJW"/"social justice warrior." On the contrary, the chefs who were interviewed characterized the public reaction as sexist, which is typically the opposite of what supposed SJWs stand for. This would seem like it's arguably the polar opposite of what you're citing it as an example of [SJWs ruining things].

If it already isn't, one of the The Rules of Acquisition should be "know your customer." Or in the visual/literary media, "know your audience."

The Portland burrito truck matter is indeed an interesting case of conflicting leftist ideologies, but, unless I'm missing something, it also has f***-all to do with Marvel Comics, and is therefore a matter for Misc. or TNZ discussion.

One of Marvel Comics' primary problems is that they got rid of or fundamentally changed for the worse the majority of their beloved old guard within the period of two or three years. Fantastic Four? Missing in action. Captain America? Literal Nazi. Hulk? Dead, killed by Hawkeye. Tony Stark? Dead. Wolverine? Dead. Thor? Lost his arm and hammer. That honked off the majority of the few loyal "Marvel zombies" that remained. So sales plummeted. The May 2017 sales figures came out recently, and they're terrible.
