        Oh they're not confused m8. They're weeding out the toxic fanbase. Getting all the old white dudes to stop buying comics so they can market harder to the current generation.

        Nice try, he may be a conservative but I'm not and I totally agree with him. This is not a left/right issue it's an issue of ideologues taking over what used to be for normal people on either side of the aisle.

        He has “conservative” on his twitter profile: the shoe fits when he’s already wearing it. “Ideologues” have always been the ones making comics. Comics haven’t changed, your sensibilities have. What’s changed is overt representation; you not liking it is YOUR character flaw.

        I can't believe they keep putting politics into the X-Men, even though they've always been a metaphor for homosexuality! *It's always been political.

        Yeah, politics has been present, the problem is that it's now almost nothing but that and it's not done well. X-Men used to have adventures with subtext, but now it's just the subtext being screamed into a megaphone. That's not entertainment.

        This reminds me of the dweebs who rigged the Hugo awards a couple of years ago because they're mad that the libs are injecting politics into their innocent space imperialist fantasies
