@tiramistars i was so dissapointed that his superman suit was under there :(

SUPERMAN #38 SPOILERS Sorry I don’t have anything appropriate to say

@ghostiiest he's so me 🥹

hes gotta look nice for every occasion

@YandereMuffins @tivstippi oh okay

@Wonder0sho @tivstippi "do you think theyre losing because there black people in it" 100% yes.

Do you not find it even a little odd you’re looking for black representation in Japanese comics?

@imjustmaeee woaw so pretty. where's this from?

It's definitely one of my favorite Rose adaptations Obviously it's a different adaptation of Rose it's not the same as the original story.... but it's one of my favorites

@bori___cha YES!!! MY LOSERS !!!

gonna be real, didnt know which one, so i did all of them

@willbig_boss28 @Chaplain_kaz @tivstippi What are you talking about?

@Wonder0sho @Chaplain_kaz @tivstippi So “culture” is strictly a question about skin tone to you? Man, I can tell you REALLY care about this subject matter.

@willbig_boss28 @Chaplain_kaz @tivstippi I think most Japanese mangaka can google "black person" and then draw a black person ..?

@Wonder0sho @Chaplain_kaz @tivstippi But like, isn’t representation of “POC” supposed to be accurate to be “acceptable”? Why would you want Japanese people, who are generally very limited to their exposure of Non-Japanese cultures, to write on the subject? Maybe it’s not a “good” thing, but it’s not “bad” either.

@Chaplain_kaz @tivstippi Trust me, I'm not surprised. It doesn't make their lack of POC rep in manga a good thing

@Wonder0sho @tivstippi Are you legitimately surprised the multi-ethnic country makes multi-ethnic comics, while the homogenized one doesent?

@roronoadean @tivstippi Why is this about appeasing people? im not black like i dont get a boner whenever a black person is in a manga. This whole thing sounds like Japanese dickriding, because manga is sold globally nowadays. Yeah, it's Japanese culture, considering their culture is filled with racism

@Wonder0sho @tivstippi America is a multiracial cesspit and Japan is almost completely Japanese, there are no blacks or other racial groups they need to appease in Japan, besides the Japanese themselves.

@bori___cha Kid eternity

everyone give me a comic book character. Just one. One. Any

@YandereMuffins @tivstippi do you think theyre losing because there black people in it, or because of literally any other reason (accessibility, storytelling, target audiences)

@Wonder0sho @tivstippi and look at where comic books are now. losing in every metric to manga.

@Birkinde @tivstippi Black people DO make manga. It's called comic books. Because I thought we just established that 99% of the Japanese population isnt black. So any comic outside of Japan aren't called manga. They're called... comic books

@Wonder0sho @tivstippi why can't blacks make their own manga?

@Hexoid163560 @tivstippi You can watch something, enjoy it, and still be critical of its contents...?

@Wonder0sho @tivstippi Then watch western media?, that's their choice lmao, if you know you have another media that have something you like, MOVE to that media. Don't force creators to pander to your wishes

@deshawn535910 @tivstippi what if the manga isnt set in japan?

@Wonder0sho @tivstippi Probaly because the population of Japan is 98% Japanese

@BrettWalkerUSA @tivstippi what if the manga isnt set in japan?

@Wonder0sho @tivstippi Japan is 97% ethnically Japanese people, and overall is more than 99% ethnically Asian

@chocapic203 @tivstippi So... from what I've gathered, there isn't black people in Japanese mangas (even when the manga ISNT SET IN JAPAN) because it's for a Japanese audience. So it just seems like Japanese people dont like seeing black people in their mangas. Which is... a bit weird, right?

@Wonder0sho @tivstippi Es lo que pasa cuando en el pasado de ustedes era matar y matar negros solo por existir, ahora como intentan expiar sus pecados del pasado ven racismo en todos lados incluso cuando no hay y lo más gracioso es que muchas veces ustedes son racistas cuando intentan no serlo

@MomentSoup @tivstippi What if the manga isn't set in Japan? I mean, other cultures DO exist, even inside a fantasy world. Of course, then you do have to face the reality that Japan is a prettyyy racist country. So maybe a Japanese audiance wouldn't want to see black people in their manga

@Wonder0sho @tivstippi It’s mostly cultural and historical. American comics come from a country built on immigration and cultural mixing, so diversity naturally shows up more in the stories. Japan is much more ethnically homogeneous, and manga is usually written for a Japanese audience

@harveysrr Timkon, Timcassie, Rose, Miss Martian, Kid Devil, KID ETERNITY. It's like the lineup was made for me

tt03 😅😅😅 yeah its actually horrible bbuuuuut its got timkon timcassie

@cloisblog One Year later TT03. I loved that lineup so bad...

Sometimes I will enjoy slop, like yeah that comic is kind of ass, but it contains cute moments of my favorite characters, I'm easy
