Marvel definitely loved to insert itself into high pressure political issues of the day, and always on the side of the progressives. This is the franchise where Captain America once fought against the supervillain Nixon, and the only religious people that aren't monsters are the minorities...

What makes you think the immigrants would be leftists?

Nah, pretty sure there was no Sorath mentioned in the books.

Sounds really fantasy. Where did you get that and what does it mean?

It might take a hundred years, but the demographic victory is for the right. Unfortunately, the ideological win will be for the Left unless something changes by 2050. Something like the neoliberals breaking their alliance and purging them from Academia.

I don't even care about whether they are "valid" or not. What worries me is that they are significantly destabilizing the narrative and allowing the leftist media creators to crowd us out. I would suggest pretending to be all-in and educating yourself on all their Shibboleths until they...

...I want whatever this guy is on.

What the hell are you talking about?

Disgust?! What kind of psycho wants to base a moral system around what disgusts us? I'm disgusted by 99% of medicines. So is medication unethical? What an idiot.

But why do it in the first place?

Why do corporations keep spending their hard earned money for people who hate them and want them dead?

As always, the progressive messaging was a ploy to paper over the increasingly bad writing. That's what it always is. It's pandering to the loudest, craziest voices in the fandom. Young adults who base their entire personality on their hobbies, like the western version of Otakus.. You know...

So basically, it means just any annoying leftist messaging?

Fate/Zero practically feels like a western work of the 80s. Come to think of it, how do you guys even define "Woke"?

I'm not very fond of the Japanese Otaku community, but there's something weirdly admirable about how they don't let anyone bully them. While American comic books were kneecapping themselves with the Comics Code Authority due to a huge moral panic, the manga industry actually doubled down on...

Do you think the pendulum will ever swing back our way?

TBF, it's getting harder and harder to find genuinely good stories these days. It's not that nobody is writing any, it's that actual entertainment value has taken second seat to whether it fulfils the DEI agenda. If the ever fickle social media mob decides some story does women/minorities well...

Arguing online?

Don't be overdramatic.

My point is, I only care if it makes the stories bad. Which is increasingly the case with some of my favourite franchises.
