DC’s Latest Superficial Anthology Deals with Microaggressions & Racism

Posted: 30 Jun 2021 06:20 AM PDT

Next Shark has a fluff-coated item focused on a DC special commemorating Asian superheroes that looks predictably saddled with political correctness in at least a few ways:

 

Featured in "DC Festival of Heroes" are 11 stories touching on topics that many Asian Americans, longtime fans or comic book rookies can relate to. Whether it's a coming-of-age story for young heroes, diving into identity issues, feeling a need to assimilate, or dealing with microaggressions and racism, all touch on the importance of representation.

 

“Microaggressions”? That’s more like a slang for merely saying something that’s anathema to absurd belief systems, and just shouldn’t be said because it crosses the line of the left. It’s the kind of idiocy you could discover at universities. A clue something’s not right here.

 

In the collection's namesake story, "Festival of Heroes," writer Amy Chu and artist Marcio Takara were "influenced" by the news of the rise of anti-Asian violence, especially on our elders, to come out of the pandemic, according to the DC Comics blog.

 

By any chance, do they research and pay any attention to who exactly the perpetrators of the crimes are? How about the Antifa/BLM hoodlums in Portland, Oregon who assaulted and endangered Andy Ngo, just because he exposed their evil activities? How about Black criminals who attacked Asians in cities like Baltimore, Maryland? I’m aware Chu’s an apparent leftist, and must assume she for one is taking a superficial approach to the issue, putting her head in the sand in regards to exact details, which only ensures the dangers can continue. Plus, I notice the following panel turns up in this special:

 

 

Well, what’s this we have here? Some sort of attempt to make an allegedly “American” bunch of thugs look like they’re discriminating against Islamists by calling a passerby a “terrorist”? That the writers of this special would opportunistically shoehorn that in there attests to their identity politics. What they inserted minimizes the issue of terrorism, and that can include the very acts of violence Asians experienced over the past months. The site interviewed the contributors, who said:

 

NextShark: With the recent attacks on the elderly, what is the message you want to convey about our elders fighting back in the "Festival of Heroes"?

Jessica Chen: Like most people in our community, I follow NextShark and other AAPI news sources a lot, and the uptick in the violence against our Asian elders is alarming, disheartening, and making most of us feel helpless in what we can do to help.

One of the cool things about working in superhero comics is the ability to take real-life issues that we may not be able to fix or deal with immediately, and having our superheroes be able to so that readers may have somewhere to find solace and catharsis in, even through a fictional space.

For those who may not be following NextShark and other AAPI news sources like the AAPI community and I have, writer Amy Chu and I were hoping to be able to shed some light that these attacks are real, have been happening, and we all must do more together to help combat xenophobia.

 

But that xenophobia can never include what Islamofascism indoctrinates, can it? And there can’t be clear identification of the perpetrators beyond any who’re white, despite what research statistics are showing? Also note that Chu is a contributor to the medium of questionable leftist character, one more reason this project is bound to be superficial, and otherwise a disappointment. One more reason why such projects from mainstream publishers are unlikely to improve the decaying situation in the USA as it stands now.’

NFL Proclaims “Football is Gay,” and I Couldn’t Agree More…

Posted: 30 Jun 2021 04:45 AM PDT

In support of Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib’s declaration that “football is gay,” the NFL rolled out a silly new ad just in time for LGBTQ+ “Pride Month”.

 

 

 

"The NFL stands behind the LGBTQ+ community today and every day," the NFL tweeted after releasing the commercial.

 

When the NFL began allowing players to politicize the game by allowing them to kneel during the national anthem, the fans and supporters expressed their dissatisfaction by staying at home or changing the channel, causing the league to lose money in advertising. They’re now enabling one gay player to direct their advertising, and they will lose many more of their remaining paying customers.

 

 

 

 

Mainstream football fans are unconcerned about the athletes’ personal lives, sexual preferences, and political views. Most normal people just watch sports for the entertainment aspect, and yet the NFL continues to double-down and push a politically loaded agenda that the fans are uninterested in.  Will the NFL learn before they bankrupt themselves?

Disney’s Renaming of Boba Fett’s ‘Slave I’ Just Another Woke Joke

Posted: 29 Jun 2021 01:15 PM PDT

 

Forty one  years after it’s debut, Disney has asked for the iconic spacecraft of bounty hunter Boba Fett known as SLAVE I™ to be renamed to the very creative moniker Boba Fett’s Starship™ in all future products and stories. LEGO Star Wars Design Director Jens Kronvold Frederiksen said at Fan Media Days last month, “"It's probably not something which has been announced publicly, but it is just something that Disney doesn't want to use any more.”

About as original as anything else Disney Star Wars has ever conceived

 

The original LEGO version of the ship was also called Slave I, and it is still listed as such on their website. The release of the new set coincides with the premiere of The Book of Boba Fett, a new spinoff series based on the hugely popular Disney+ program The Mandalorian. "Everybody is," Frederiksen responded when asked about deleting the Slave I designation from the ship by a Brickset.com contributor. It’s probably not anything that’s been made public, but it’s just something that Disney no longer wants to use." What is the significance of the ship’s renaming? We can only speculate what Disney’s answer will be in the absence of an official statement.

 

The new 478-piece LEGO Star Wars "Boba Fett's Starship" will reportedly be available on August 1st, with mini figures of Boba Fett and The Mandalorian.

 

 

Was there a Disney employee who was offended by the term “slave”? Is it possible that they are unaware that slaves exist in the Star Wars universe because it might be worth the time to let them know Anakin Skywalker and Princess Leia were both slaves at one point in their lives. In fact, last May, toymaker Hasbro also changed the name of their “Slave Leia” figure to “Huttslayer” after an online campaign was launched.

 

 

 

This seems like just another attempt to demonstrate just how Woke™ the corporation is. In fact, Disney has made some questionable decisions in recent years. Because of perceived racial stereotypes, older Disney movies such as Dumbo, Peter Pan, Swiss Family Robinson, and The Aristocats on Disney+ streaming service cannot be viewed while using the "Kids Profile" mode, which filters out titles flagged with content warnings — including scenes now deemed racist. And at Disney World and Disneyland, some rides have been renamed. As we’ve also reported on, actress Gina Carano was also unceremoniously dismissed from The Mandalorian, apparently due to a tweet comparing modern cancel culture to Nazi Germany and her support of Donald Trump.

 

 

Mark Anthony Austin, the actor who portrayed the Boba Fett character in the special edition of Star Wars: A New Hope, , criticized the company for renaming the ship for new LEGO toys.

 

 

 

With the name change of Boba Fett’s Slave I, Disney only continues its pattern of whitewashing anything that could offend people who can’t bear the truths of the past. And while I honestly have no idea where the name “Slave I” originated, I really don’t care. Should the term “slave” be so forbidden that it results in renaming crafts, locations, or terms? Is it really possible that someone working at Disney or Lucasfilm honestly believes the word “slave” promotes or praises slavery in this context?

 

What a clownshow.
