Are they even activists? Granted, I am not really a comic guy, have Batman comics from the 90's and just know some newer stories but there seems to be a gender obsession in the comics industry. Everything always comes back to this character being homosexual, or this one being asexual, or this one being bi, or this one is getting cucked etc.
They have been getting edgier for about a decade now, after disney bought them and slowly kicked out the old heads.
Used to be teaching the masses how to be inclusive, as they always tried to with the X-men etc.
Then they lost their marbles once the higher ups didn't need comics to appeal to anyone but be project for movies, and it became about excluding the masses for not being inclusive enough, while shifting that goalpost constantly to what is "inclusive". Inclusion by exclusion, pretty much.
No surprise the comics who had a short spike from the movies then suffered a rapid decline, and now it has affected the movies too. They like to claim that comics were declining anyway, but ignore the rapid growth of other types of comics like manga/anime/manwha who focus on stories first instead of mandating strict agendas.
