Is that a euphemism for having done fuck all?
David Davis
She's been published by DC, technically she is a comic creator.

Are SJWs pretty much school bullies at this point?

Don't forget the hit piece newsarama tried on Priest.
Jeremiah Sanchez
LMAO Priest tore that hit piece journo a new one, cry on onions.

So is Chris-chan. What's your point?

>Hires Christopher Priest to write Vampirella
>Vampirella turns into an inscrutable ubermensch mastermind with a whole bunch of obscure plans playing everyone off everyone else and is opposed by many other masterminds with their own plans while she struggles to maintain normal human relationships with the people around her
>also sometimes things get wacky
Or was she always like this? Should I read Vampirella?
Evan Martin
...
Luis Collins
yes
Nathan Wright
ya, this is some bullshit. sure...hiring Mark Russell sure is pandering to the alt-right. what a fucking dumbass, woke, black, fatty
Samuel Ward
Not surprising. Priest doesn't take shit from others.
I'm sure McDuffie would've also been seen as an alt-right these days.
Jonathan Myers
Fuck you OP for shoveling shit but thanks for letting me know Priest is on Vampirella you dickmuncher.
Bentley Flores
I would say read the Masters Series for her or try out this run. Priests run is NOT traditional Vampi, he's said he's not writing to long term fans. But as an old fan, her best stuff is either going back to the 60s/70s stuff or the Masters Series that has Moore, Ellis, Carey, Busiek, Robinson and Morrison
Jaxon Morales
Is Priest right leaning or something?
Sebastian Bell
No, he's just not progressive enough.
Lucas Bennett
>Someone made a dumb tweet, you guys!
Oh my God, really? What's next, someone makes a dumb instagram post?

Lol did you delete because you are Eaton?
Nathaniel Price
Priest has always been problematic
Carter Martinez
took me a while to find what you were talking about but
>Nrama: Someone walking around in that Trina Robbins-designed costume is bound to get some headturns. If I know you as much as I think I do, you're going to tackle that head on, right? How are you getting into the subject of the costume?
>Priest: Well, yes, we will have a go at it. The basic argument is simple: where do you draw the line between women’s liberation and women’s exploitation, and who gets to draw it? Who gets to define femininity and why should an extraterrestrial have to submit to that definition?
>It’s like the world woke up in the last few years and realized we actually have two genders and both of them matter.
>So we now have heightened scrutiny of themes and behaviors and that poor bastard Joe Biden gets caught up in the switches. I’ll confess, I’m terrified of women because I’m a Joe Biden. I was taught to pay a lady a compliment and open doors and I want to be friendly and accessible but I’m absolutely terrified of having my good intentions taken in a bizarrely paranoid light.
>It is comical to me that I am far too often seen as creepy by women - especially black women - because they have been conditioned by their personal experience and their media consumption to misinterpret a simple "Hello." These days I cannot pay a woman a complement without a legal preamble and assurances that, no, I am not hitting on you and even then I get the skunk eye of suspicion.
>Which is a little insulting because this “guilty until proven innocent” defensive posture presumes I am other people or that the bar is set so low for me that I’ll jump into bed with just anybody I happen to meet. It’s like we’ve just gone too far now to the point where women are not just being protected but being alienated to some extent because I have no earthly clue how to deal with them and I’m frankly scared to shake their hand.
Leo Gutierrez
Why is Priest so based?
Carter Price
>So, is Vampirella’s wardrobe choice sexist? I don’t know. Vampirella obviously doesn’t think so. As I see her, she comes from a culture much like Star Trek’s Betazed, where people wear little or nothing at all. If anything, Vampi wonders why we humans choose to smother ourselves in so much fabric and why we’re all so bound by self-loathing.
>There are hundreds of women who enjoy cosplaying as Vampirella, and maybe hundreds of thousands offended by the character. How do we reconcile all of that for the 21st century?
>The one thing I won’t do is cover her up. I accepted the gig: write Vampirella. If you change the outfit, she’s no longer Vampirella. Frankly, her costume is the only thing about her (well, okay, that and her pansexuality) that makes her at all shocking or controversial.
>My goal, and the readers will have to let us know if we’re passing or failing, is to make this a book as much about femininity as about bloodsucking. The storyline is driven by women, mostly populated by women, of all shapes and sizes and ethnicities, and most of them dress as sexy as they dare. The singer/rapper Lizzo is a terrific example of this. Is her blatant sexuality liberating or is she being exploited? How about Beyoncé? Do we put Vampi in a raincoat but cheer Bey on?
>See what I mean? I’m screwed either way.
Ryan Gutierrez
basically sounds like a centrist or the type of leftist that isn't afraid to go head on against the liberal mob mentality. If he is left leaning he's more in line with Sam Harris than anything
Jonathan Anderson

I'm sure Priest would have a lot to say about the hypersexualization of Black Men in American Media. There's a lot ways racial and gendered stereotypes get divided up and further fucks around with how people try to politicize social issues. I can't recall if the headline I saw once about how "Black Men are the White Men of Black People" was actually real or not, but it's certainly a mentality that exists.
Lucas Watson
The basic problem is assuming literally everyone falls along some single, two-dimensional political gradient with "the left" at one end or "the right" at another. There's no reality where Christopher Priest is a centerist, except one where you prune off all complicated nuance to his beliefs in order to try to shove him into the modern political shitposting "discourse." People can have political beliefs that seem at odds with how certain platforms have congealed in American party politics because those have been formed by realpolitick history, not any philosophical cohesion.
Owen Gutierrez
Now that summer is upon us, there are a LOT of these threads.
Political in nature they have nothing to do with comics and attract the worst sort of posters.
Mods need to do their job.
Carter Nelson
>I’m not quite sure where I first heard “straight black men are the white people of black people.”
>almost literally quote an article I didn't even read by accident
Spooky.
Brayden Garcia
>Nrama: In another response you state “It’s like the world woke up in the last few years and realized we actually have two genders and both of them matter”. While not assuming your intent one way or another, it seems it to overlook genders outside the male/female paradigm. Can you speak to that?
>Priest: Gender: noun
>1. either of the two sexes (male and female), especially when considered with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones. The term is also used more broadly to denote a range of identities that do not correspond to established ideas of male and female. "a condition that affects people of both genders"
>I wrote an ecumenical commentary in support of gender and and LGBTQ issues, Chris. I invite everyone to read it.
>It was a simple interview. I was promoting a comic book and, as a really busy writer, I was typing really fast and speaking honestly while engaging with you.
>What I won’t do, not even for my own safety, is censor myself or try and anticipate every horrible way someone might choose to misinterpret something I've written or said. If anything, that just makes my point for me about how free speech is being compromised.
>It's a tough environment to publish comic books in because every publisher is terrified by the spectrum of extreme possible reactions from an increasingly intolerant environment where everybody's playing "gotcha" and looking for the worst possible and most extremely negative interpretations of everything.
>The whole point of free speech is my duty to defend others' rights to have it, not to shout them down or demonize them.
Benjamin Lee
Imagine being that associated.
Christian King
Ah no, this thread is comic-centric in nature stop trying to insinuate that it isn't legitimate.
Justin Carter
I'm a fan of Vampi and I think it's a good idea to let a creator get messy with her. She's the type of character that can manage to survive bad runs, god knows she has had them before. But her worst stuff is when creators try to play it too safe with her. So, while Priest says this may piss off old fans of her, I'm putting this on my pulls list
Liam Howard
These threads always happen, summerfags aren't a thing anymore, when everyone can post on Yea Forums from their smartphone all of the time then every day is summer
Robert Harris
How does one get into Vampi? I've only read Priest's FCBD issue and about half of the recent trainwreck with Trump as God-Emperor of mankind. I expect that before this run is over I will want to dive deeper into her history.
Daniel Murphy
I already mentioned it she's honestly a pretty cool character cause she can fit almost any type of story. She's a sci-fi alien who everyone thinks is a vampire so you can place her in almost any story
Zachary Diaz
He's just a Yea Forumsmblr faggot that doesn't like anyone having a civil discussion about the current problems in the industry.
Henry Jones
How can one man be so based
Cameron Green
>It’s like the world woke up in the last few years and realized we actually have two genders and both of them matter.
mice fucking dogwhistle, what a scummy little piece of shit he is
Aiden Thomas
Dilate.
Robert Brown
He's a black man that doesn't toe the line and is intelligent enough to have his own opinions
That's the scariest thing to a white liberal
Jonathan Sullivan
The only good thing they did was save The Boys
Jonathan Sanchez
>killing all supporting cast
I've probably only read one Vampirella comics
Did she have a signifiant supporting cast?
Killing them seems a bit extreme, anyway. He just could have ignored them or sent Vampi alone in a different world
Ryan Allen
She used to have a decent supporting cast. But over the years it seems that writers have started ignoring them.
Hunter Stewart
This I didn't see a single professional attack them just literal faggots and literal trannies.
Evan Rodriguez
>It bothers me that, in 2019, DC and Marvel universes are still mostly portrayed in an idealized hyper-reality where the average man on the street simply accepts superheroes as fact and, in fact, refers to them literally as “heroes” or “villains,” which is absurd. There’s no news anchor in the world who would start a broadcast piece with, “Arch-villain Saddam Hussein...” even though that description would be apt.
And that's why he souldn't write for main DC or Marvel anymore. It's always the same kind of shit: heroes (Justice League, Spider Man) portrayed as costumed clowns who don't understand the harsh realities of this world. And Badass McHardass (Deathstroke, Sniktbub) teaches them a lesson
What he should rather write is comics set in the Wildstorm Universe or in the Ultimate Marvel Universe, if they relauch it at some point. I'd definitely read Stormwatch by Priest.
Josiah Rogers
she's had many over the years and most of them end up overlapping. Paul Cornell's run goes over this with Vampirella awakening in the far future and having to figure out who she is, and she has to confront all the different versions of herself with all the different supporting casts
Jaxson Turner
And is at it every single time as soon as there's a topic that is anti libshit dogma it's 'ACK-chully this thread should be banned. Why won't the mods do as I say?!' Glad to see someone else has spotted these tricks.
Noah Smith
SEETHING, but why?
Lucas Morris
Hasn't dilated for the day.
Austin Miller
some idiot whose only credit is a back up in a Batman special went on a Twitter rampage attacking Priest for not being super political or woke after Priest blistered the ass of some asshat at @Rama over Vampi's outfit and Priest saying that there are only two genders.
Kevin Thomas
Fully agreed user and exactly why I get annoyed with the "priest is so based" shit. His JL issues were literally and outrage storyline he jus used Wonder Woman rather than Batman beating someone to appear as if he was "unbiased" or avoid the CG tier rageout.
He's no different from any of the other hacks at the big 2 for exactly the reasons you give. Everything is through the lens of "is this realistic" rather than "is this in-character and entertaining and worth the cover price?"
Elijah Murphy
What the fuck? Marvel hired this racist prick?
Zachary Richardson
pretty sure Christopher Priest changed his name and became a bus driver to escape alimony payments
Jose Harris
Based
Jace Mitchell
>nigga named Priest

Bruh what the fuck?
Jeremiah Price
Paul Dini said on Kevin Smith's podcast that James Christopher Owsley said that if his wife ever left him he would become a priest
Joseph Thompson
Absolutely fucking based. I should read more of his shit.
Gavin Richardson
Bullshit. McDufffie would have Waid's spot as king of the SJW cancer brigade ruining comics. Faggot flat out called ANY Green Lantern fans who didn't worship John Stewart as being card carrying KKK members and who repeatedly wrote "white people are evil/racists" shit, especially to cover up his own failure as a writer.
Dude would have found home at SJW Marvel, screaming DC was run by racists and calling anyone who doesn't like his work racist Nazis, and most likely having successfully double teamed Brevoort and Alonso with Bendis to let them kill off Peter Parker and defy Disney in having Captain America die brainwashed and evil to spite people rejecting Sam as Cap.
Nolan Long
Bendis and Brubaker, two fucking SJW white boys, fucked him over when he was writing Cap and Tom Brevoort (another woke white boy) held him down while Bendis and Brubaker raped him.....
Angel Allen
blacks can't be racist
Josiah Lewis
Shut the fuck up, Jesse.
Justin Lewis
>Be McDuffie

I really like this page, it's an interesting character to have some druggy thinks she is perfect and pretty, and Vampi
it was storytimed closer to FCBD, I never grabbed the scan though, so thanks
it'd definitely weird but I like it

How have SJWs not flipped the fuck out about The Boys now that it's a TV show and becoming mainstream?
Robert Morris
cause no one has heard of The Boys
Noah Ward
>That Blackerella
Nice.
Angel Richardson
But he's wrong. It's usually more subtle than that but the media often does characterize some people as villains and even more often heroes. Did he forget the whole "axis of evil" thing from what, 15 years ago? Also notable but more subtle the use of "regime" being seemingly exclusive to baddie governments. And then you have soldiers, cops, firemen or even random people being called heroes for their good deeds.
See also: one's terrorist is another's freedom fighter.

>"Black Men are the White Men of Black People" was actually real or not
It was.
Evan Diaz
Honestly though, female singers sexualizing themselves being passed as liberation is disingenuous, it's just the old sex sells, nothing about a message, just trying to get the money from poor horny saps. And shit Josephine Baker was wearing much more risqué shit 70 years ago.
Blake Peterson
