    Why would I even consider this as an argument?

    If manga is getting pirated, so are North American comics.

    But manga seems a whole lot more popular on social media (in the US and abroad) than comics.
    You're describing your own perspective bias, here, not making an argument.

    I definitely see way more references to NA comics than to manga, myself. But I wouldn't make that as an argument without actual data to back it up.

    It’s a thing, because people conflate manga and anime. Anime is a thing, manga isn’t... All of the trolls and altright, use anime avatars, not Manga.

    Best resource for MANGA I have found on YouTube:

    First Worlder's don't have any major real world problems so we just complain about comics, Nazis, and woke SJWs all day. lol
    How do you do that? I mean, you are in each and every one of these threads for months and years now and you still don't understand the difference. Is ignorance your superpower?

    Ya I saw that, with so much nonsense in the thread it’s hard to keep track of every thing while finding actual links.

    Yeah, I am sorry for it seeming misleading. I don’t like people being called out for things I said. I’m sorry.

    Ya I read a ton of manga and it’s so varied that people trying to pretend it’s apolitical is incredibly silly even the big Shonens tend to get political.

    Eh it’s my fault I’ve been going through so many different links regarding comic sales by month/year/market growth,manga sales that I started to cut corners and skim some things.

    Since this has just become a thread mostly discussing comics, this is closed. It won't be moved to the multi-media forum since the meat of discussion is forbidden there.
