Eric July, a black comic book creator, expressed frustration with these changes, stating that they make it seem like the only way to relate to a character is because of shared traits, rather than enjoying the character as an individual. He pointed out that there have been gay comic superheroes for years, such as Northstar, and questioned why established characters are being changed without regard for their original intentions. July criticized Marvel and DC's recent efforts to pander to diverse audiences by making characters non-white or with non-traditional identities, which he believes has alienated their core audience. He noted that graphic novels from Japan outsell American-made comics, suggesting that the shift in focus towards social justice elements may have turned off fans. July also pointed out that some of these changes, such asthe creation of a pro-climate change Superman character, feel forced and unnecessary, like hiring leftist writer Ta-Nehisi Coates to create a Captain America series with a villain based on Jordan Peterson. It's astonishing how poorly some projects can perform, even when they're backed by big names. But the fans just aren't buying into it anymore. Even in a supposedly capitalist system, some companies like Marvel are more interested in forcing their agendas rather than giving people what they want. They canceled the bisexual Superman series after only 18 issues and created characters that were meant to be relatable but ended up being laughable. Their attempts at diversity and inclusion have fallen flat. The company wouldn't even talk about it when questioned by the media. Meanwhile, independent creators like Eric July are taking advantage of this opportunity. His comic book \"Isom\" has raised a staggering $3.7 million in funding. The market is clearly saying that people want more characters like his, and they're willing to pay for them. This shows that true capitalism involves giving the people what they want, not pushing a forced agenda. In a world where so-called \"woke\" culture seems to dominate everything, one person is taking a stand against it. Eric July has launched his own comic book series, \"Isom \\#1,\" which has been met with incredible success, generating over $1.7 million in pre-orders within just four days. However, not everyone is happy about this, as some social media platforms have censored promotional videos for the comic book, claiming it supports a hate group. But July's response highlights how some people are afraid of his message. He says that his company isn't promoting hate but rather spreading liberty and speaking out against things he disagrees with. It seems that some individuals would rather silence him than engage in a discussion. This is just one example of how a small minority can make a lot of noise while the majority stays silent. July wants people to be happy with his new comic book company called Rippaverse, where they won't have to deal with too much politics or social justice in their stories. He's had enough of the entertainment industry pushing these things on people, and he created Rippaverse as a way to do things differently. July says that many people use comic books as an escape from reality and something fun to enjoy. He wants his comics to bring people together and make them happy, not just be something they have to tolerate. He's starting with a story called \"Isom \\#1\", which follows the adventures of a hero named Isom in Texas. The goal is to build a community around Rippaverse where fans can share theories and connect with each other, but July knows that this kind of change won't be easy as people have become accustomed to complaining about things they don't like.
