Archie Comics gets first gay character

[shortylickens]

Perhaps a psychiatrist can.

Did moonbeam just suggest I get a shrink?

You are doomed now, you moron, to a life of bigotry and stupidity. Your almighty god is your asshole that you worship.

Hey God also called you a fool, so it's not just me.

Psalm 14:1 — "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God..."

Psalm 14:1 — "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God..."

Hey Fool, I didn't say there is no God; I said your god is an asshole, that you worship a product of hell that you in your ignorant fundamentalist bigotry, are the spawn of the devil. You judged so are condemned by your judgment. Just look what an asshole you are. You are accused by me, the so called atheist sinner by your own judgment, and you don't turn the other cheek, you don't tell me I am forgiven, you delight in the thought I'm condemned. But that's because you're an asshole and not a real Christian. You have been forgiven but you don't feel it and so you are lost because you can't love others. Your god is your egotistical bigotry, you are filled with evil certainty rather than loving faith.

Did moonbeam just suggest I get a shrink?

Yes and I did so on the basis that I am sexually healthy and have no interest whatsoever in watching two lesbians have sex. The only good sex is that sex of which I am a part. Vicarious sex is pathetic. Sex is just a nice cherry on top of a loving relationship with another person. Sex without love is gratification that is spiritually empty. See a doctor. I want you to know real sex and real love, not the garbage you are hung up on.

Now, of course, I know that what you wanted to imply is that I, a madman, shouldn't be telling others to seek mental health, but, because I am a madman only in the eyes of madmen who don't know loving sex and the emptiness of vicariously experienced lesbian looking on, you will forgive me if your hope of making fun of me falls on deaf ears. You may as well tell Beethoven his ninth symphony sucked.

I've never read them, but I thought the entire series was based around Archie trying to bang Bettie and Veronica.

Unless they changed the formula he never got anywhere close to even considering "banging" either one of them, which given the curves they were drawn with, clearly means he has no idea sex even exists.

 

[RoloMather]

A fool is somebody who believes in the inviable truth of a book that merely self purports to be the truth and yet is full of obvious lies, fool, and your inability to see what is obvious is why the road to life is narrow and few find it. You have found life for your bigoted ego and death for your soul. You have your reward. You worship a small vicious piece of shit that is your own reflection.

Here you say that the Bible is a lie, which means that the God the Bible describe doesn't exist.

You are doomed now, you moron, to a life of bigotry and stupidity. Your almighty god is your asshole that you worship.

Here you blaspheme God.

Hey Fool, I didn't say there is no God; I said your god is an asshole, that you worship a product of hell that you in your ignorant fundamentalist bigotry, are the spawn of the devil. You judged so are condemned by your judgment. Just look what an asshole you are. You are accused by me, the so called atheist sinner by your own judgment, and you don't turn the other cheek, you don't tell me I am forgiven, you delight in the thought I'm condemned. But that's because you're an asshole and not a real Christian. You have been forgiven but you don't feel it and so you are lost because you can't love others. Your god is your egotistical bigotry, you are filled with evil certainty rather than loving faith.

Here you say you might believe in God because you didn't deny His existence. From your other posts, however, you clearly show that you didn't believe in the God of the Bible, the only true living God.

So I say to you, you are a fool either way. If you believe in God and do not follow his teachings, then you are truly a fool. If you don't believe in God, then you are a fool who doesn't believe the truth even when it's self evident.

Say what you want about me and my beliefs you foolish man, I am not your judge. God will judge you at the end of your days. I only came to tell you the truth so that you might be saved.

Ignore God's warnings at your own peril.

I sincerely hope that by God's grace you will accept and believe in Jesus Christ before it's too late.

I suspect sells of the comic were so poor they thought the extra attention they would get of adding a gay character would bring it back.

 

[FaaR]

does there really need to be a token homosexual in it now?

If you're really so not-against gays, why do you care? Do you even read the comic anymore? Forgive me for saying so, but you sound very much like all those "I'm not racist, but *racist remark*" guys...

Anyway, so there's a token queer in archie now, but is there also a token black? Asian? Jew? Muslim?

Archie is very much like mainstream american media, where roughly 48 out of every 50 people are nice white folks. It can't really get any more unrealistic than that...

This is why people try to speak with their mouth instead of their heart.

This. It's a cute comic, but it's been running longer than many of us have been alive. The comic started in 1939. Then again, Batman started in 1939 and last year's Batman movie was a huge success.

RoloMather: Here you say that the Bible is a lie, which means that the God the Bible describe doesn't exist.

My dear Sir, You were raised by blind and ignorant monsters who thought tat they were good and that you had to be turned into a little God-spout-bot to really be good. You were perverted and made to hate. You are like a donkey who has eaten the Bible and now thinks he's a Christian. God in not in the Bible, you poor sad lost soul, he is in your heart. Throw the Bible out the window until you become human and learn to read. You are a poor sick puppy.

RM: Here you blaspheme God.

M: My my doesn't that make you feel like God, that you, a worthless nobody can tell me that I blaspheme. Power overwhelming power, hehe. This is what was done to you as a beautiful child. You had the shit scared out of you and now you're the walking dead. Let go of you ego. You are a total nothing just like me, a nobody who is nowhere. You are stuffed full of God pride, and it makes you evil. You know nothing about God much less who it is that truly blasphemes. You are a sad donkey hiding behind a book and the God you seek is everywhere you cannot look.

RM: Here you say you might believe in God because you didn't deny His existence. From your other posts, however, you clearly show that you didn't believe in the God of the Bible, the only true living God.

M: Your god is a donkey. You believe in lies. You know nothing at all about the one and only living God because you are not really alive. You are a Robo-god-spouting machine, a sad perverted child who had to die to stay alive in the ego hell your parents made for you.

RM: So I say to you, you are a fool either way. If you believe in God and do not follow his teachings, then you are truly a fool. If you don't believe in God, then you are a fool who doesn't believe the truth even when it's self evident.

M: Nothing could be more obvious than that the Bible is self contradictory and full of lies and that you have remained a donkey eating it.

RM: Say what you want about me and my beliefs you foolish man, I am not your judge. God will judge you at the end of your days. I only came to tell you the truth so that you might be saved.

M: You pretend not to judge me you liar, but you judge me in every word you say, right up to the stupid notion that the moronic false god you believe in will judge anybody. You are a robo-false god-spouter filled with hate

RM: Ignore God's warnings at your own peril.

M: You can be sure I will ignore the warnings of a mumbling idiot who knows nothing about God at all, to my pearl. The kingdom of heaven is for children not pompous assholes like you.

I sincerely hope that by God's grace you will accept and believe in Jesus Christ before it's too late.[/QUOTE]

You may be right. When was the last time you saw a kid reading a comic book. They are either playing a video game, listening to an ipod or phone texting.

 

[zsdersw]

Jeeze, is nothing sacred anymore? I have nothing against homosexuality, and I grew up reading Archie Comics, but does there really need to be a token homosexual in it now?

Come on.

Not to pile on, but it does seem you have "something" against homosexuality.

Yeah but how many kids do you know who read Archie or would want to ? Todays kids want action , super heroes, monsters, etc.

 

[waggy]

i have a bunch of Archie comics. in fact i have Archie #1-3 in great condition.

i have always thought Jughead was gay though.

 

[StageLeft]

How they're still making those I have no idea. Archie was lame and not funny 20 years ago. Still lame and not funny today, I'm sure.

Knock off the being sure about something you haven't read in 20 years. Even if the comic hasn't changed, which strikes me as somewhat unlikely, you may have.

It could be malfunctioning, but RoloMather's posts make my sarcasm meter go on tilt.

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

I thought Archie was...

Jesus never came close to marrying and had 12 extremely close male friends who went everywhere with him.

Just saying.

mary magdalene?

just a thought.

I think I maybe saw one in a grocery isle a few years ago and had a similar impression but seeing the comics excepts above I can tell you it's not changed. I just googled a couple. Awful stuff, not as bad as Peanuts comics, obviously, but bad.

There is no profit in throwing stones at blind men and demanding they see....exactly who is the fool here?
