Why aren't there more black comic creators?

why aren't there more black creators in the business

Well, whether or not your actively seeking out people from a marginalized community is the crux of your question here. Does it matter to you, no like, does it really matter to you the race/background of the creators of the media you consume? If it doesn't, than this question come off as you implying that black people aren't doing enough for themselves to make it in the industry, even though I assume that wasn't your intention.

I have to give my applause to @Shanny8 @Calculus_Homework and @DokiDokiTsuna for explaining the reasonings behind the how things are in the space right now (better that I ever could).

And while I can't say I have the right to condemn any of you, some of you are talking really loud without really considering all the factors that bleed into a lack of representation. You can point to numbers, you can point to luck, you can even point to access, and you can say it's probably not racism. But those are each shortsighted in their conclusion and should be considered plus many more factors. And also it is racism, always has been.

Short answer: have you even tried Google yet before making this thread?

OP doesn't do that. He rather goes here and ask his questions hoping for an answer.

Btw, OP just changed his account but still manages to stir the pot here most of the time when he posts. And you guys gobble it up. But whatever gives something to talk about rather than to look at pointless promo threads.

Meanwhile, my buddy who plays music in random bars has a way bigger social circle than I can even dream of. And he's not that good looking either so... it's his musical talent that explains it.

You know, it's not his looks or his musicism that gave him a social circle right? I wager he just... you know... talked to people.

All of that red pill, black pill, incel nonsense is just that, nonsense. It's nothing more but insecurity that preys on insecurity to create more insecurity. There's no such thing as chads or stacies, there's nothing fundamental about a person that limits them from making friends. All it takes is talking to another human like an actual person.

I think this thread has had enough quality responses. Time to close before things turn further
