While many on the Right keep saying, "It is just a comic book," (and less polite things) the Left understands that Culture is upstream of Politics. Woke Marvel Eliminates The Punisher Due To "Problematic" Conservative Fan Base | ZeroHedge
A year ago progressive news outlets were calling the idea of the culture war a “right-wing conspiracy theory” that had no basis in reality Yet, the injection of far-left politics into entertainment media had already started years previous, with noticeable propaganda efforts in movies, streaming television, children's shows and books, even commercial advertising was replete with progressive ideological imagery by 2016 onward.
The goal is relatively obvious – To erase competing ideals and viewpoints while saturating the market with only one political vision; a woke vision. It's called social engineering, and anyone who claims this is not happening in the US today is gaslighting.
Strangely, the American comic book industry has become a major battleground in the culture war, with heroic symbols being increasingly erased or hijacked as vehicles for woke talking points. A vast array of comic book characters are now race-swapped, converted to LGBT or they have had their histories rewritten to make them more “acceptable for modern audiences.”
Competent men? (Well, competent minority men are OK, up to a point.) White men who are anything but vile? Women who are feminine? Mothers? Complete families that love one another? We can have none of these things in popular culture. kids would learn the wrong lessons, have the wrong role models.
This explains why Disney/Marvel has been so determined to destroy the Netflix versions of the Heroes for Hire series. Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Frank Castle are the very definition from the Left of "Toxic Masculinity." Men who are strong, straight, fight against evil, don't wait for The State to act, take individual action and in the end accept individual responsibility for what they've done. Luke Cage is even able to quote bible verses. (In season one, episode four, he quotes Luke chapter 4 verse 18.) And some of the women are genuinely evil.
