2000AD Summer (All-Female) Special 2018: Is This the End of Meritocracy?

The 2000AD special of summer 2018 is a very special, special indeed, for this marks the first time in it’s entire (40 plus year) history that the writers and artists are completely comprised of affirmative action diversity hires. Yes, they are all women, not all straight white men, funny how that works, isn’t it? Actually no, it isn’t funny at all, and I’ll explain why it isn’t funny, and is actually very patronising, and ultimately, very, very dangerous.

The west is what the west is today, because of meritocracy, the idea of a level playing field, where the best, or hardest working thrive, whilst the worst, and laziest do not. Meritocracy produces unfairness, because to have winners you have to have losers as well, but meritocracy also produces great achievements that would not be possible under any other system.

You can try to be fair, and get everybody to cross the finish line together, and this has been tried many times before. Ask the Russians about it, the Chinese, the Cubans, or any other nation that has cried ‘not fair’ and abolished any idea of a meritocratic system. We are talking Communism here, and I would strongly suggest that what 2000ad is doing with this summer special of enforced diversity, which is of course anti-diversity (as all of these progressively insane projects are) is the comic book version of a red revolution.

Well, we all know how revolutions work out, don’t we, and if not, why not? I’ll tell you why we don’t understand that revolutions are bloody, stupid, and just put you back to the beginning, revolving in a circle, and not progressing at all. It’s because of the schools, the welfare state, the female teachers, the pandering, the guilt, the cultural Marxism, the movies, the television, the crusty old sandal wearing, Guardian reading BBC, a state mandated, anti-white, anti-male communist system of anti- meritocracy, school-girl fantasy utopian, far, far left propaganda.

So, of course we are getting an all-female anti-diversity 2000ad bloody revolution of feel-good stupidity. It’s a sign of the times, as the purple hedonist used to say. In an age of Godless, matriarchal, welfare state, government indoctrination, morality free nihilism, you get your virtue from the least rebellious comic book on the market today. Signalling to the heavens that they do not believe in, crying to the sky, ‘We are good people, we are good people, watch as we virtuously flog ourselves to the Goddess of meritocracy crushing mediocrity.

But what, I hear you cry, will I say if the special is actually really, really good? Well, I’ll say the following. If it is really good, and I will not find out because I am not purchasing it, then they didn’t need to do it in the first place. They could have allowed each and every one of the female creators to compete on the same level playing field as their male contemporaries, and let the cream rise to the top.

Do you remember, when that used to happen, when the cream was allowed to rise? I remember, and it was a glorious time. No colours, no genders, no gay, straight, trans, whatever, no left, no right, no politics, just good old fashioned hard work and talent, with the best man, woman or little green frog, rising to the top, and producing the best product possible. Oh, those halcyon days, they are fading, fast, and if you buy this summer special from the virtuous signallers at 2000ad, you are helping to end those days, now, and for the future, forever.

Politically Correctness and the 2000AD Sci-Fi Special- Is the tide beginning to turn?

This article will reference the following comic strip:

Title: Robo Hunter- Iron Sam, by Alec Worley, Mark Simmons & Ellie De Ville

In: 2000AD Sci-Fi Special, Summer 2015.

Released: 24th June 2015

Publisher: Rebellion



I couldn’t believe what I was reading today. A comic book strip that was actually pointing out the totalitarian censorship mindset of the social justice warrior brigade. There it was, tucked away, sneakily within the pages of my favourite rebel comic book, the 2015 sci-fi special of 2000AD.

Robo-Hunter- Iron Sam, by Alec Worley goes where other PC comic books fear to tread, taking subtle digs at the Internet thought Police. The narrative involves a murderous ‘Sentient Social Media Virus’ running rampage and murdering anybody for crimes against (a very contemporary definition) of feminist liberal political correctness. This virus has contaminated killer robots, and they are going around town looking to murder anybody not sufficiently PC.

Have you ever had an online encounter with the Marxist, feminist, liberal, politically correct crowd? They are young, straight out of university and determined to ‘educate’ the world about the evils of racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamaphobia and white male, rape culture patriarchy. I have had a few encounters with these lovely people, and it’s quite the experience.

Robo-Hunter

I thought that I was supposed to be the ‘conspiracy’ nut around here, but these purple haired whack jobs are the biggest conspiracy loons going. Everything is the fault of white men and patriarchy. I apparently have the huge benefit of ‘white privilege’ which is news to me, especially as I go to my minimum wage night-shift job for my latest ten-hour shift. Forget reality though, as these people always know best, are never wrong, and as they are ‘victims’ you are just a ‘troll’ if you throw nasty things like facts at them.

The PC brigade are not too keen on facts, and reality, but the one thing they hate more than anything else, is people disagreeing with them. Try it. They have two responses: 1- They will scurry for the ban hammer, and attempt to censor you. 2- They will call you a racist, sexist, homophobic bigot (without evidence) and refuse to debate the issue you are supposed to be talking about. These people are absolute darlings. They hate debate, love censorship and are never wrong about anything, and if you upset them with different opinions or facts you are oppressing them.

It’s a sad state of affairs today, because these feminist Marxist PC Internet moral crusaders have almost completely infiltrated mainstream comic books, and it is difficult to find ANY comic book that is brave enough to take them on.

I think that it’s fair to say that the majority of comic book writers working today are left leaning, ‘progressive’ and liberal in their political belief systems. How do I know this? Look at my blog. I read their comics, lots of them. Because of this one-sided political outlook they are happy to embrace the loony PC brigade and give them exactly what they want, and the result is a lack of diversity in contemporary comic books.

'Dust' in 2000AD SS 2015 has a great twist at the end.

Do we really need another book about a punk-haired feisty female protagonist battling against a Christian preacher, or some other random evil white man? What exactly is that achieving? And do I even have to mention what Marvel and DC are doing right now with their PC obsessed messing around with the race and gender of their long-running characters?

That’s fine, if you want to write about strong independent 1970’s punk girls then do that, and if you want to write about a lesbian dwarf albino with bi-polar issues then do that as well, some people will like it, but what about the rest of us? Surely there should be a bit of diversity in comic books? That’s a good thing, right? I’m not asking for sexist, racist, homophobic monstrosities of tastelessness, but please, please, please, at least give me something that isn’t coming from a feminist liberal, Marxist, politically correct point of view.

Imagine my delight then when I read a comic strip that mocked the totalitarian, censorship mentality of the feminist Marxist loon brigade. I was starting to give up hope. I was starting to think that comic books had been completely infiltrated, that the red flag was here to stay, and that my days of reading them would soon be numbered, but then I read Robo-Hunter, and wow, what a shock that was.

So, the entire point of this article (and he probably won’t even read it) is just to say thank-you to writer Alec Worry.

I don’t know how you did it mate, but you’ve done something out of the ordinary here. You’ve used satire to illustrate the logical endgame where the Internet PC thought police finally get what they really want, that being the power to legally murder anybody that disagrees with them. I know it’s satire, but all good satire cuts close to the bone, telling truth that would not be tolerated in a straight narrative format.

Rogue Trooper in 2000AD SS has a strong message about war propaganda

After all, Marxists have a history of murdering those that disagree with them.

‘The highest death tolls that have been documented in communist states occurred in the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, in the People's Republic of China under Mao Zedong, and in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge. The estimates of the number of non-combatants killed by these three regimes alone range from a low of 21 million to a high of 70 million’ 
(‘Mass killings under Communist regimes’ from Wikipedia, sorry, but that’s what people look at now)

The ridiculous situation that occurs in Robo-Hunter, with PC robots killing anybody that disagree with their social justice warrior virus, though silly and over the top, is a lot closer to the truth than people might want to admit. The left is all about collectivism, and if you don’t want to be a part of the collective, they are more than happy to put a bullet through your head. That’s not my opinion. It doesn’t matter what I think, it’s historical fact that communism always ends up with piles of corpses. We need to stop bowing to Internet fools with red flags and useless degrees in the liberal arts, and start getting some real diversity back-into our comic books.

Thanks, once again to Alec Worley. Nice job mate. Thanks for sending me into the weekend on a high. It’s very brave of you to go up against the red tide, and that is what you have done here. Good luck, you have a supporter over here.

Is this the beginning of a truth revolution in comic books? To quote Muse, ‘You can revolt, you can revolt.’ It’s true, we can, and it begins by telling the truth about what is going on right now, and if truth isn’t very PC, well sod it, tell it anyway.

‘Diversity’ in DC Comic Books- A statistical breakdown of the lead protagonists in DC Comic books released on 17/6/2015

I hear a lot about ‘diversity’ in comic books these days, so I decided to take one week in comic books, one publisher (DC) and to look at the comic books to see how ‘diverse’ they actually are. The following books are either single person protagonist books, or two person protagonist books. I have not included the ‘team’ books that were released in the same week by DC (Four titles) as all four titles had multiple protagonists, both male and female. All of the titles that are listed below are single-issue comics, and were released by DC comics on Wednesday 17th June 2015. The list is simple. Name of comic, then the age, gender and race of the main protagonist(s).




Astro City #24 - Non Human (ape)

Black Canary #1- Late teens/early twenties female (white)

Doomed #1 –Late teens/early twenties male (non-white)

Dr. Fate #1 – Late teens/early twenties male (non-white)

Harley Quinn & Power Girl #1- Late teens/early twenties females (white)

Martian Manhunter #1 – Alien.

Prez #1 – Late teens/early twenties female (white)

Robin Son Of Batman #1 – Early teens (male)

Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman #11- Early twenties (female)

Sinestro #12 – Alien

Superman Wonder Woman #18 – Early twenties male and female (white)

Wonder Woman (2011) #41 – Early twenties female (white)


Conclusions

- None of the comic books have protagonists over the age of 30 years old (excluding aliens).
- White male protagonists appear in two out of twelve books. Superman (an alien) and Robin (a prepubescent boy).
- Young female protagonists appear in six out of twelve books.
- Non white (human) protagonists appear in two out of twelve books.
- Non human protagonists appear in three out of twelve books, four if you include Superman.
- Young females dominate the list of protagonists in DC comics during the week of 17/6/15.
- White males and non-white protagonists are minorities, represented in only two out of twelve books.
- Aliens (or non-humans) are protagonists in more books (four) than white males or non-white protagonists.
- None of the human characters are over the age of thirty.
- DC Comic books protagonists (on 17/6/15) are all young, and the majority are female.


Is that ‘diversity’ in comic books? Here’s the dictionary definition of the word:

diversity (daɪˈvɜːsɪtɪ  Pronunciation for diversity ) 

Definitions
noun

the state or quality of being different or varied
a point of difference
(logic) the relation that holds between two entities when and only when they are not identical; the property of being numerically distinct


DC comic books don’t appear (at least based on this sample week) to be very different or varied at all.

This is not my opinion. It is factual information based on looking at their actual comic book protagonists. If you are a young girl, or an alien, that’s great, but what about the rest of us? For everybody else living on planet Earth (and for ANYBODY) over the age of twenty-eight, you’re not going to see yourself being represented within the pages of a DC comic book, at least this week.

If (like me) you are a white male in his forties, then forget it. You’ll see alien shapeshifters, young female rock-stars, talking Gorillas, and girl presidents (Prez #1) but a male in his forties? A male in the demographic of the actual people buying the comic books? Don’t be daft. Who would want to read a comic book about a guy who actually looks like the people who are buying comic books? Don’t be silly. Now, here’s my latest idea for a new teen female punk rock rebellious heroine. It’s super cool dude, those old comic book geeks will love it, and it’s super PC and ‘diverse.’
