La détresse des «comics» n’est pas drôle. La rectitude politique tue les ventes.
In an age of blockbuster superhero movies making billions, comic sales are low and dropping. (…) today’s comic-book superheroes are weak men wrestling with toxic masculinity. Ineffectual, hapless and emotionally incontinent, they are wretched role models.
On the other hand, the women are bad-ass warriors and super scientists who don’t need men—quite literally, as many of them have been converted to lesbianism. The Unstoppable Waspfeatured an all-female team of self-validating young genius scientists (in a rainbow coalition of ethnicities) who also happened to be lesbian or bisexual. (…) The Unstoppable Wasp was ignominiously pulled because of low sales.
