Reading some Captain Marvel from 1983 where Monica Rambeau is the titular character. A black woman hero and all I can think of is if Marvel did this today there would be endless whinging on twitter about muh white genocide.

I'd argue this is partially because the internet turns everything into a signifier of itself. People's ideas of a comic aren't created by the media itself but by other people's reactions to it. You're going to see a shitty reactionary meme about a comic long before you see real discussion of it. The Punisher is no longer a comic, it is a reactionary identity that has a comic associated with it. Obviously these issues existed before the internet, but the internet hasn't helped

Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.
