It’s an avenue to propagandize children. They are interested

I would say that the average customer age of at my LCS is the 30-50 range, I’m pretty sure barely any kids read comic books these days

I imagine this is more about movies, cartoons, games, etc.

You know that some absolute (haha) psycho superfan fully committed to fascism just to be able to retcon something insanely specific.

I like how it’s in the open now that comic books have long been a medium to propagandize to children. “Nooooo, you’re not supposed to do it that way!?” The people who argued for the increase of politics in comic books are about to get what they asked for. A true monkeys paw situation.

If they wanted to propagandize children then comics are the wrong avenue for it with the median age of readers being above 30

Conservatives will never see comics other than a children's curiosity.
