'Punisher' writer hits comic book giants Marvel, DC for woke shift: 'Only hire people who agree with them'
Comic book legend Chuck Dixon told Fox News Digital that both Marvel is dominated by ideologues who largely think the same way and shun conservative politics."I think both DC and Marvel are politicized but Marvel's taken it to a whole new level. They killed Tony Stark as Iron Man. They've gender swapped and race swapped every character they can," Dixon told Fox News Digital in an interview.
Dixon made waves after he criticized Marvel for undermining and minimizing one of its most popular heroes, the armed vigilante known as the Punisher. According to Dixon, the company is"embarrassed" by the"working class" hero and his appeal within military and police ranks. Dixon said that while the politics at DC was still visible, the ideologues were strongest at Marvel."Marvel, it's like no holds barred," explaining that Disney's ownership of Marvel may contribute to the conformity in thought.
He emphasized the ideological conformity in the comic book industry was not a"conspiracy," but a matter of business culture. He said that despite all the bad news he gave about groupthink in the comic industry, he was still"hopeful.""I'm hopeful about the future of comics because when DC and Marvel basically shed most of their readership, those people still want comics. They just didn't want their comics," he said."They didn't want to be preached to. They didn't want to be scolded. And so they're in search.
