Well, if it\\\'s meant to refer to #ComicsGate, then it\\\'s wrong on several counts:
- It\\\'s not a harassment campaign. Never seen any well-known #ComicsGater call upon their followers to harass anyone - unlike their opponents, who do employ such tactics.
- On opposing diverse writers - it opposes minorities being given special treatment based on their ethnicity/sexuality/what have you as opposed to being good at their work. Minority writers with actual talent get actual praise from #ComicsGate ideologues such as Richard C. Meyer.
- It opposes *forced* diversity for diversity\\\'s sake and creating AffirmativeActionLegacy when nobody asked for it with a clear intention of riding the coattails of an established character. Nobody has any problem with original minority characters (provided they are well-written).
- It\\\'s not the political themes that are the issue, it\\\'s that they are always one-sided with heavy swing towards the left side of the political spectrum with the right-wingers being near-universally depicted as bigots, racists, idiots and CompleteMonster s.
Then again, there\\\'s nothing wrong with being completely apolitical so everyone can enjoy the ride.
