In the light of the Tom King nonsense I’ve been thinking a lot about what these SJWs mean when they say CG is full of racists. I’ve never seen anyone of any race in CG disparage anyone else based in the color of their skin. It simply doesn’t happen. 1/
So I asked myself what might they be referring to and it hit me. Aside from just parroting Mark Waid and Gail Simone, it’s the fact that CG practices meritocracy and shuns forced diversity. That has to be it. They don’t like that CG doesn’t show special favor based on race. 2/
Think about that for a minute. Meritocracy, properly practiced, operates on the basis that all races are equally capable of producing talented creators. There is no intrinsic or generic difference since humanity is truly one race with many ethnicities. 3/
When combined w/ the reality of the US population being predominantly white, the result is going to be, on average, more white folks creating comics in a western movement of comics creators who practice meritocracy. SJWs want to ignore reality & implement artificial diversity. 4/
They do it in every area they infest. So when they discover that CG shuns forced diversity in favor of meritocracy, they see racism. This is just one more reminder that they aren’t very smart. They may possess intelligence, but they’re unable to use it in this area. 5/
So, when someone accuses CG of being racist, every time you see this, demand proof. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof and racism is not a light charge. Tell them that if racism is so ubiquitous in CG, they should be able to find some proof relatively easy. 6/
When they sneak away from the situation, I’m going to continue asking, tagging them back in. They need to be faced with the reality that they are, in truth, the bigots they claim to oppose. And when they inevitably block you, consider it a win. /end
