Another article about Black Josei Press
Scripps News wrote an item about a small publisher producing comics spotlighting Black protagonists, which I'd written about before a year ago, but it turns out, again, that this publisher goes out of their way to support woke ideologues:
I wish them good luck with their venture, but if they keep up that political rhetoric, it's only going to dampen the impact of their goals. That's the problem with many leftist entertainment industry contributors today - they don't know how to keep politics out of the picture.
The U.S. comic book industry is full of stories about fantastical worlds with superheroes, multiverses and cartoonishly evil villains, but one writer and publisher is opening the door for stories celebrating real life — and specifically, the real, rich lives of women of color.And one must wonder why it's such a big deal to give backing to LGBT ideologues? Well, that must surely hint at the problem here: they feel they must be that "inclusive", and can't leave out the LGBT ideology, no matter what. Such is the problem with leftist ideologues, and it just undermines their whole point and purpose. Lest we forget, some of the same people associated with this company even had the gall to bring "straight old white men" into the mix, and that was uncalled for too.
"I decided to self-publish and I did a Kickstarter, because I didn't see anything like that in other publishing companies," said comic book writer and publisher Jamila Rowser. "I was like, 'Nobody’s going to publish this, and I don’t want them to try to make me change the story to be whitewashed or anything, so I’m gonna do it myself.'"
In an industry where less than half of all comic book writers are women and less than 6% are Black — according to research from the job recruiting platform Zippia — Rowser is on a mission to support her favorite Black and brown artists.
The Eisner-nominated writer of "Wash Day Diaries" is also the founder of Black Josei Press, an indie comic publisher for women of color and queer artists.
I wish them good luck with their venture, but if they keep up that political rhetoric, it's only going to dampen the impact of their goals. That's the problem with many leftist entertainment industry contributors today - they don't know how to keep politics out of the picture.
