@ Danielle- exactly what point are you trying to make here? That there is good reason for stopping diversity in comic book and poeple not buying them. As far as I know they “got beat up” by a handful of retailers who were asking for the “good old times” of non-diversity during a closed-door event. This was probably connected to the systematic crackdown on Marvel by alt righters inc. during 2017. It’s pretty time-honored strategy to send in your goons to declare “public anger” (Volkszorn) and make people believe that a majority is unhappy with what you do.
I.e. the milkshake shit storm against female Marvel employees, the weird “comic readers don’t want diversity” comments by Marvel sales official, and the fact that Marvel tried to cooperate with an arms producer recently- all of course not connected to the fact that a Marvel boss is sitting in Trump’s scommitee and is best buds with him.
Mary Sue and some other venues covered this.
And yes, it is connected to GG, you could/can see the same strategies during GG.
