More on the MSM homo agenda;

I only read Archie a few times as a kid and I remember the comic being shitty and sort of Leave It To Beaver-ish. According to the article, Archie is apparently a complete Tumblr tolerance jerkoff session:

Quote:Keller's character first joined Veronica Lodge, Betty Cooper, Jughead Jones and Reggie Mantle in the Archie Comics spin-off "Veronica" in 2010. He later appeared in his own solo title. In "Life with Archie," Keller is a married military veteran and newly elected senator who's pushing for more gun control in Riverdale after his husband was involved in a shooting.

Everywhere you turn it's another leftie bullshit bomb.

#TeamReggie. This is such a good microcosm for modern society.

Meanwhile, Reggie just cleans up. A true Alpha.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reggie_Mantle

Quote:Reggie Mantle's chief characteristics are his love of sarcasm and practical jokes, his vanity, his athletic abilities, and his interest in dating multiple women.

Reggie is a naturally gifted and talented athlete who excels at football, baseball, basketball and ice hockey. He is sometimes shown to be the school's boxing champion, best track-runner, swimmer and weight-lifter. In one story, we are told that Reggie has been the state's tennis champion for two years. Reggie also excels at car-racing, ice-skating, skiing and surfing. He often works as a surfing or skiing instructor. Sometimes, if his skills are not enough to secure victory, Reggie is known for using schemes such as bending or downright breaking rules, and he often shows little team spirit. Once in a while, Reggie tries to win competitions on a technicality by pulling out a rulebook.

The most common accessories associated with Reggie are the mirror and the comb. A lot of jokes in the comics are on how he loves himself more than any girl, earning him the nickname "Reggie 'I-Love-Me' Mantle". His vanity leads himself to believe that he is God's greatest gift to women. This may be why Veronica often likes Archie more than she does him. Somewhat of a fashion plate, Reggie also has the distinct trait of being the character who most frequently experiments with his hairstyle to match current trends - even more frequently than Betty and Veronica. These looks have lasted months (rather than been contained within a single story) and have included several incarnations of sideburns, slicked back, short, shaggy, and even a ponytail in the early '90s.

Who cares? I don't know too many people who actually read Archie anyway.

Much like all comics, there's probably some magical way that he's not really dead.

I see this more as Millenial Guys designing and writing stories like women.

One of the things I hate about reading fiction by women, is the main female characters tend to be over-the-top perfect. You get a lot of descriptions of their shy, cute smiles, tiny waists, perky breasts, and if you're curious about their eye colour, don't worry, you'll hear about it in great detail.

They have no realistic human flaws, and, most likely, every other character will adore them and, strangely, have no autonomous life of their own, but focus around supporting the main character and wanting to hear about their trite relationship troubles in great detail. All the main characters will be in love with them, and the fatter the writer, the more over-the-top perfect the character will be.

That's all this is.

Well-rounded characters have positive and negative traits. Look at the supporting cast of Archie that I can remember off-hand.

Jughead - obsessed with food
Veronica - snobby, shallow
Reggie - smartass, prankster, troublemaker
Moose - dumb
Betty - hopelessly naïve

Meanwhile, look at the gay character's description and the perfection boxes he ticks:

Keller is a married - see he's just like you and me, and not into parties, drugs an anonymous sex! - military veteran - he loves his country and will fight for it omg so brave! - and newly elected senator - everyone loves him enough to elect an out gay man - who's pushing for more gun control - so much concern for social justice, what a GOOD PERSON - in Riverdale after his husband was involved in a shooting - over the top tragic backstory, which chicks love.

No realistic human flaws = yawn.

There were mainly girls living on my street when I was a kid, and I observed or was roped into playing with them enough that I know how their fantasy games pan out. Their immature fantasies always involved death, and usually played out in two ways:

- The 'perfect' character she's playing dies, and there has to be a funeral, and everyone has to cry and wail over her because they loved her so much. I think this is why so many teenage twits fantasies involve killing themselves because then everyone will be sorry and realise how much they loved them.

- The main character almost dies, but is save by someone sacrificing their life for them, because they love them so much that their life is meaningless compared to the main, perfect character's continued existence.

This seemed to hold greater power to them than fantasies of meeting a handsome prince. Go figure. More drama, I guess.

Immature fantasies of unrealistically perfect characters who succeed despite excessive drama in their background = every fan fiction on Tumblr. The Archie People know their audience.

I read it as a kid. Bough the issues at the comic book store all that time. It was entertaining and something to do when I was bored. Kids read these things and are influenced by what is in there. Maybe not nowadays.

I think I saw this a while back, it was a "reimagining" of Archie, much like the Gay Green Lantern with his little Asian Catamite.

Pure BS, this is my favorite line of comics... I used to use it in Mexico to teach kids English... I used to use HARRY POTTER to teach kids until JK retard said that dumblord was gay... wtf, can't these people leave that shit out of things. Comics like Archie were made for kids 5 to 7 yearsold.

Quote:"The way in which Archie dies is everything that you would expect of Archie," said Jon Goldwater, Archie Comics publisher and co-CEO.

Indeed. I often thought to myself 30 some years ago when reading Archie for shits and giggles that it would be awfully cool if Archie died a social justice warrior.



You are doing it wrong, so wrong.

Apparently the term for this is a Mary Sue. (Aptly named in this case with a gay character...) According to tvtropes it got started with female written fanfictions displaying all the properties you describe, except the fanfic author has inserted a version of herself into the story as the perfect character.

Sometimes it's a self-insert, most of the time it's an idealised version themselves that has all the qualities they wished they possess, so you end up with shit like this.



The myth is that it only happens in fan fiction, not every fucking Op Ed piece a woman writes. You end up with bollocks like that HuffPo piece the other day, where a woman is trying to gain sympathy for an apparent rejection, whilst still making it clear he desired her in every other way. (Head / heart / laughter / smile blah blah).

There is not one woman writing these media pieces who isn't writing an idealised version of herself so her female audience identifies with her and wants to be her friend. They possess no human failings and faults. They're always unique and special whilst not being unique and special enough to risk dislike. The pattern is apparent, and you obviously question whilst every writer you're reading is, by her own subtle admission, perfect in every way, yet you've never met one woman who wasn't flawed in some way in real life.

All female journalism is just wish fulfilment, status joustling and the seeking of approval, which is why the field has decayed into utter moronic solipsism now they're the majority of journalism graduates.

I actually think that comic is making fun of the Mary Sue trope

It is, that's the point of it. It's showing exactly the kind of shit you see. That being said, the top half is barely parody.

Another famous example:

Quote:Hi my name is Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way and I have long ebony black hair (that’s how I got my name) with purple streaks and red tips that reaches my mid-back and icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Amy Lee (AN: if u don’t know who she is get da hell out of here!). [[I’m not related to Gerard Way but I wish I was because he’s a major fucking hottie. I’m a vampire but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white skin. I’m also a witch, and I go to a magic school called Hogwarts in England where I’m in the seventh year (I’m seventeen). I’m a goth (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear mostly black. I love Hot Topic and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a black corset with matching lace around it and a black leather miniskirt, pink fishnets and black combat boots. I was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow. I was walking outside Hogwarts. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of preps stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.

Sailer's Law of Female Journalism: The most heartfelt articles by female journalists tend to be demands that social values be overturned in order that, Come the Revolution, the journalist herself will be considered hotter-looking.

I read the article, its a spinoff where archie and pals are all adults where he gets killed, so its just alternate reality archie dying not the main comic line...no big deal. It has about as much impact on the "Canon" of archie as the following:

Man, the last time my characters/stories were this inane was when I was playing a play-by-post Star Wars RPG game at the tender age of 12.

Damn, I used to like Archie because it was a fun read (when I was a pre-teen). Just a bunch of high-school kids trying to have fun. Blue-pill but funny and feel-good.

Sad to see it end this way with a not-so-hidden political agenda. They're really trying to brainwash kids these days. If there is a NWO, I wonder what they're planning fr the future. If there isn't, I wonder why no one is calling out this BS.

Was Archie Blue Pill?

Jughead puts his mission - eating - ahead of his girl, Ethyl.

Reggie runs bad boy game and constantly gets dates with Veronica even though he's a jerkass.

Archie was was more interested in ice queen Veronica, than Betty and her sweet, positive qualities, which she hopes one day will make Archie realise he loves her. Archie has her in the Friendzone.

I remember one comic where Betty and Veronica teamed up to drive the new, much hotter girl out of town, gloating exactly like the Twitter shaming of the Loreal Girl the other day.
