If Dinesh is a well known right winger/''bad liberal''

[Sven the Returned]

He is not, but just a speculation.
Would Valiant had been as successful if Dinesh has the reputation of Frank Cho among the ''right thinking people'' in the industry and comic book press?

Game recognizes game and Dino is not looking to familiar to me.

We have never really talked politics (Dino and I) but we did talk about ideas for guns that Bloodshot would carry in a theoretical Bloodshot movie in 2010. That was the same night I beat him in Valiant Jeopardy.

Really?

A wealthy boss sells himself and his products to whomever might listen, undeterred by those who do not care, and continuing to grow his entertainment brand year after year.

Am I describing publication or inauguration?

I read comics and watch football for entertainment. I am not interested in funding anything that preaches loony left or wacky right dogma to me. Take my money and give me entertainment, not partisan claptrap.

[jmatt]

The premise of the question may be valid (if not a little beside the point) but I find the thread title to be unnecessarily antagonistic.

Would you want someone posting threads intentionally titled to be misleading about you?

I'm pretty sure that Dino and I are diametrically opposed on some issues but this is unfair and unwarranted and you should change it.

[DirtbagSailor]

We all have our opinions and political leanings.

I don't think that the comic industry cares one way or the other, provided that there is no intent for a publisher to push their own political ideology onto readers.

Reguardless, I agree that this thread appears to be a misleading smoke-bomb drop (*poof gone*) inflamitory debate trap.

Dinesh believes what Dinesh believes. Same as you or I.

[ShadowTuga]

This thread is a bit mean.
And calling Dinesh a right winger is inconceivable (am I right, dunlow?)

We already have an area for political stuff. It's not this one. This is the space where all that *SQUEE* is left behind.
Let's stick with the funnybooks and speculation talk. My 2 c€nts.

Neither?

I don't think Dino is a right-winger. Sure, he is a businessman, but how does he feel about limited government, gun control, 9th and 10th Amendment, NATO/UN, individual and corporate taxation and tariffs, public welfare and assistance, public funding for the arts and so on and so forth?

Take out the word wealthy and you have pretty much anyone who is working (at least correctly) to hawk their products. You could be describing Nick Barrucci, even.

[jmatt]

Thank you.

lol really? DC and especially Marvel have a pretty clear agenda they've been pushing for the last few years. Just look at all the talk and outrage about diversity and female empowerment going on. There's a new story every week about some cover getting pulled that could possibly maybe be construed as sexist.

Oops, doublepost.

What I should have said was;

"I don't think that the average comic book reader cares one way or another about the political leanings of a publisher's CEO."

If the story is good enough, I can look past the political leanings of its writer.

I am pretty far right-wing. I am a gun salesman from rural West Texas and am currently a Sunday School teacher in a Baptist church (I have been trying to get out of this but literally NOBODY ELSE will take the class). Among my favourite writers is Josh Dysart, who is about as left-wing Progressive as one can be and still function within society.

My favourite character is Kris Hathaway and she's a lesbian!

So yes, a comic book fan could look beyond the political leanings of the company's CEO.

Same here. Every time.

Have you seen some well functionning political/media operatives recently? I bet they are more progressive than Dysart. Van Jones, Mellisa Harris Perry, Bill Simmons etc...

[lorddunlow]

This really needs to be in the Politics thread. I'm not really sure of the intent of the thread at all really.

For what it's worth, Dino has a pretty apolitical persona in his online presence. I don't see what someone's personal or political life has to do with anything they create unless they're using it as a vehicle for those views, but whatever.

The word I was avoiding using was "high-functioning", not "well functioning".

I miss MHP. I used to watch her before going to church on Sundays. How do I know that I am right if I don't know what wrong is?

+1 - or anyone in the company producing the comic, for that matter.

Unless it's an in-your-face hate-filled elite/exclusive mentality that also actively harms others by its existence, the political leanings of any one human being don't really matter to me. We're all free to feel the way we feel, just with consequences for those that harm others.

Kind of a lame topic to post here.
