but the TLDW is he follows some known racist dudes on twitter on some "seeing the point of view from both sides" shyt and been had some weird ass takes on black comic chars

These bothsides people think this ideology is so profound that it can explain away some bs the "otherside" is not supposed to be flatout racisim.

My take on the Manga vs Comics conversation

• Manga is cheaper.
• Has faithful, good-quality animated adaptations for non-readers in the form of anime.
• Has a low entry point for newcomers getting into a series.
• Has one writer and a beginning/end.
• Has better drawn and animated action/fight scenes than their western counterpart.
• A consistent release schedule.
• Manga/Anime is taken more seriously in the East than comics/cartoons in the West.
• More genres outside of the action genre. Gets attention and a chance at an animated adaptation.

All your points for manga pretty much enforces my perspective that image is a better comic publisher than dc/marvel. They have more variety of genres and easy to get into them because they don’t have the continuity baggage like marvel/dc comics do.
