american cape comic books are so deeply misogynistic and racist at every turn that it is essentially taken for granted as a feature of the genre and woefully underdiscussed. it isn’t even some writers, it is essentially every single male writer in the industry and some of the women and one notable non-binary author. for all the posturing about how much of a crazy awesome progressive visionary grant morrison is, i NEVER see anyone talking about how horrifically misogynistic new x-men is or how they single handedly committed racially charged character assassination of talia al ghul that she has still never recovered from.
and part of why this is underdiscussed is because most people don’t care, and because if you try to bring it up, the worst comic book fans on this planet of earth will try to kill you. and there are far more of them than you think.
