Imagine for a moment that you're lonely, you don't have many friends and the ones you do have never want to hang out anymore. Your life is a depressing cycle of barren social interaction. So then one day along comes a guy who seemingly forces his way into your life. He seems alright at first, a bit pushy, but you give him the benefit of the doubt and let him on in the door. At first things are a bit fun, you think you've found a new best bud to hang out with and share your interests with. But then, slowly, but ever creeping, your new best friend starts taking liberties. Suddenly he's hanging out at your house almost all day long, he's sleeping on your couch, ordering PPV movies off your cable subscription, he's eating all your food, ordering pizzas and making you fit the bill. Before long your new best bud is a manchild mooching off your good graces, taking advantage of you and wrecking your shit without any remorse or regret.
This is the current state of the comics industry as of 2017.
Beginning back around the new millennium's budding childhood, a group of feminist regressives began an exploitative invasion of various interest groups and social communities, in turn invading the industries and companies that catered to them. One of these was the comic book industry and their community of largely beta male, interpersonal outcasts and affection starved, social spaz artists.
This group of women forced their way on into the door of the industry, seemingly offering comradery and companionship in the guise of "making the industry more inclusive to women", with a long list of good intentions and a boatload of boobs to go along with them. These "Milkshake Girls" were readily invited on into the loser's tree house with open arms and high hopes of finally losing their virginity.
Unfortunately these women had no genuine interest in their proverbial playthings and simply sought to vindictively wreck their shit out of malcontented malice and indignant spite. All the while strip mining the entire industry for as much short term gains as they could garner before the inevitable fallout.
Milkshake Wars - Attack Of The SJWs
Your goldfish died. It's sad, we know. Your goldfish died because you didn't feed it enough. The social justice warrior response to such a problem is simple... continuously dump food into the fish bowl until, oh, oops, your replacement fish died.
SJWs have almost no cognitive concept of moderation or subtlety. They want to change the world, but they've put so little thought into it that their only solution is to destroy the very world they're trying to change. And their inevitable response to this is, "Well I guess it wasn't worth saving then."
Whether a product of laziness or a lack of real commitment to the cause, an SJW seeks divisive domination as their only path of persuasion and influence. The comic book industry is, by far, one of the best examples of this riotous and recklessly inefficient ideology put into play. Over the past few years these types, largely comprised of faux feminists, have taken a proverbial crowbar to the fan base and have relentlessly beaten readers with the most cringe ridden cacophony of crowing complaints and canon cracking cast cutting.
Milkshake Wars - Revenge Of The Fanboys
It didn't take very long for fans to see the writing on the wall, or in their comics as the case was, and to start voicing concern and complaints over the continuously sweeping changes that were turning their beloved fandom into an overly transparent political platform for disingenuous dissidents and self-oppressing opportunists. The fan cries were of course met with scoffing belittlement and condescension. After all, if someone carries a banner of peace, you can't rightly criticize anything they do, or else you clearly oppose peace.
This is the battle standard of SJWs, who wrap themselves in amity addled armor, their "good intentions" paving the road right on into hell on earth. Any contrary complaints are cut down with ad hominems, the well poisoned and pointed at for pity points. In the wake of these attacks there was seemingly little fans could do to stop their beloved interest from being forcibly gang raped and gutted by these industry shills and shanks.
But like a band of rebels on the run the fandom began to rise and reorganize itself. YouTube channels, web forums and other social media sanctuaries allowed fans to quickly organize against the attacks and to educate and inform the fan base of exactly which comics had been compromised. A collective effort to actively starve the invading parasites of any revenue to prevent them from spreading further into the fandom.
Milkshake Wars - Fall Of The Industry
Like asking a fox for suggestions on how to build a better hen house, the comic book industry had essentially engineered their own inflamed fall. By inviting a group of play-pretend comic creators into their club in exchange for promises of virgin rage relief they had cucked themselves into a corner. Desperate to try and stave off the inevitable self-destruction they began dumping huge amounts of money into adverticles, paying regressive feminist rags like The Mary Sue to constantly promote and push their pandering products.
Attacking their existing fan base, while hemorrhaging huge amounts of cash into an attempt to replace it with a delusionary demographic that simply didn't exist, managed to keep up the appearance of market stability... for a while. But eventually they ran out of money to keep up the advertising onslaught and it very quickly became apparent that the sales figure equality was being unequally funded on the advertisement level.
Without the overzealous advertising things began circling the drain, largely in the beginning of 2017. A point at which most people really began to tire of the incessant SJW indoctrination. The first major blowout occurred when The Washington Post dropped their graphic novel best seller list like a bad habit. A bitch slap of reality which left the industry reeling in shock as comic book pros were left dangling over the drain, their coming demise now indisputable, any doubts were already drowning.
Some shills, still in a desperate panic to try and save their sinking ship of SJWs began slashing costs by giving professional comic writers and artists the boot in favor of flunkies they found on Fur Affinity, DeviantArt and the like. These amateur hour artists could be paid peanuts and in exchange were allowed free reign to fuck up the entire industry even further than before.
This eventually culminated in a 91% REVENUE DROP by September of 2017.
Comic Pro PTSD (Panic, Threats, Slander and Derangement)
The regressive feminists and social justice white knights that caused all this collapse, chaos and collateral damage have about as much introspection and self awareness as the one dimensional, Mary Sue self-insert characters they create to try and replace existing fan favorites. As such it's impossible for them to ever admit any kind of fault or wrong doing, even when they wind up doing things that are quite obviously batshit insane and/or illegal.
Now certainly one can understand that sanity is a luxury when you've trapped yourself into a giant flaming shit bag of your own making, but you would think after tripping over their own self-destructive stupidity enough times they'd eventually wisen up a bit and stop trying to double down on their delusional, single player, dick licking deflection.
