My daughter has thoroughly read and enjoyed most of my issues of comics and wondered why I stopped. I didn’t tell her why but simply went out and bought a pile of new a d semi new comics for her to read. Without explaining my positions on anything, she tried to read them.

Constantly, I would hear her exclaim, “WTF? What is this garbage?” or “Since when is so-and-so character bisexual? That’s just F’jng stupid.” or “”WTH, this story has no plot. They aren’t doing anything except talking. This is F’ing garbage.”

We have had long discussions about them since and her conclusion? Exactly the same as mine.

Comics are lost.

Story lines and plot no longer exist. Comics have become a platform on which to ONLY virtue signal.

BTW, she is 23, is working on a college degree in psychology, and should, by virtue of her sexuality, age, and education, fit in with the woke crowd, but she (mostly) detests it.

She has asked the same questions in our discussions, again without me leading or promoting her. Why then characters gay or bisexual, or why focus on race and skin color, and segregate groups the way they do.

Did I mention she is also half First Nations (indigenous for those not in the know) her questions are, “Why turn a character gay if it doesn’t advance the plot line, give them a weakness to exploit, give them a new power to utilize against a villain, introduce new characters, or otherwise, in any way, significantly affect the story?
