Marvel is completely dripping with soy. The woke comic book publisher is now doubling down with its foray into social justice.
Yes, you read that correctly. They're naming the characters precisely after what pretty much every normal person on the planet refers to social justice warriors derogatorily.
As the comic's creator, who himself looks like the spitting image of the Nu-Male Wojak made fun of by the likes of PewDiePie and Paul Joseph Watson, Daniel Kibblesmith explains:
"Snowflake and Safespace are the twins and their names are very similar to Screentime; it's this idea that these are terms that get thrown around on the internet that they don't see as derogatory. [They] take those words and kind of wear them as badges of honor."
"They're hyper aware of modern culture and optics, and they see their Super Heroics as "a post-ironic meditation on using violence to combat bullying," he added.
"Safespace is a big, burly, sort of stereotypical jock," says Kibblesmith. "He can create forcefields, but he can only trigger them if he's protecting somebody else. Snowflake is non-binary and goes by they/them, and has the power to generate individual crystalized snowflake-shaped shurikens. The connotations of the word 'snowflake' in our culture right now are something fragile, and this is a character who is turning it into something sharp."
If having a non-binary superhero with they/them pronouns and a character whose superpowers are literally "triggered" by seeing other people suffer, Marvel is also introducing Trailblazer, a proud black woman of color who also happens to be morbidly obese.
You couldn't make this up.
Comment: It's like Marvel is actively seeking the dumbest ideas out there. Surely this time pushing sanctimonious SJW garbage on uninterested fans will work. Afterall, if you throw enough mud at the wall, shouldn't some of it stick at some point??
