heh lying as usual. posey parker paid with her own money. I think she said like $700

and the comic book fans did not like their comic books being "infiltrated" with all that sjw garbage. it's a war on all kinds of culture.

Yeah. I have a few friends who are into comics and a lot of them aren’t even reading the new marvel because everything is such an agenda.

nerdrotic on youtube discusses how they are ruining comics... and video games, and star strek and dr who... it's all about an agenda not about story now. It's all part of the same sjw ideology that's ruining our community.

Its happening in the YA genre too. The woke crowd goes after authors for not being "inclusive" enough if they dont include lgbtlmnopq+++++ in their fictional stories.. Its a huge thing and I remember one author recently scratched an entire story after an attack.

I just started watching Discovery yesterday and while it is good, the agenda is clearly present. The white male captain is portrayed as being some borderline sociopath warmonger, the Starfleet POC are all virtuous, etc. Only 4 episodes in, and I like it as a Star Trek show but the obvious agenda pushing does grate a bit. People get it, women can be captains and officers, it was done before with Voyager. That show had a diverse cast and it was fine without an agenda being rammed down the audience's throat.

As for Dr. Who, I like the new ones better than Capaldi's run. That just got so wrapped up in its own mythology and obsession with Missy and Clara that it became almost unwatchable by the end.

So, because one series had a female captain that's enough and any more shows with female leads are an "agenda". Uh huh.

It isn't just the female captain, its the fact that almost any and all "white male" characters in a position of authority are assholes, while anyone else is just simply better. They are more intelligent, compassionate, better at their jobs, more courageous, etc. The main character's story arc so far is borderline absurd(at least as far as I've gotten) but it fits the current lefty politics. As I said, its a good show, but there is clearly an agenda being pushed, same thing for Supergirl on the CW. It's a good comic book show, but they address social topics in a very heavy handed way.
