X-MEN: AGE OF REVELATION INFINITY Writer Leaves X Following Release Of Controversial Magik Comic

@WhatIfRickJames - It ISN'T but it IS a comicbook thus fits perfectly fine on any site about comicbooks even if mostly about movie adaptions. The site has ALWAYS discussed Marvel and DC comics etc and NOT just films based on them, even prior to adding subsections/sister sites for Horror, WWE, Action films/TV, SciFi fantasy etc. If nothing else we ARE getting rebooted Xmen added into the MCU after Secret Wars thus any current runs of Marvel comics COULD inform what and where they MAY go with in regard to the new 616 mutants after all (tho doubt they'd included anything from this run in the film franchise).

@WhatIfRickJames - i dont know but sexual asssult IS RAD... TUBULAR!!

@MaximusTheMad - I'd say the problem is only toxic idiots thinking it's OK to send death threats online, dunno if these comics are good or not but even if there was undertones of rape within it that aint anything new to Marvel comics and as you say demons doing demon shit shouldn't be THAT shocking. That said, any comic aimed towards kids that covers topics such as rape is always going to get some pushback just as it did back in the day with the whole rape of Carol Danvers storyline but there is a big divide between someone saying a storyline is inappropriate for kids (some think if not explicit we shouldn't shelter youth from such things, others strongly oppose even any implied mention in narratives prior to at least age on consent) and sending death threats to the author.

@MaximusTheMad - it’s not a reason to harass a writer, these people should be ashamed of themselves. But so should the writer. This feels like a case of “the writer’s barely disguised fetish”

@MaximusTheMad - all the bots from India, Russia, and China don't like it. That was fun see all of these "American influencers" from different countries. Nothing is real. Question everything

@rebellion - right like all the guys here wouldn’t throw fits if Cyclops, Gambit, or Wolverine got this treatment.

@Termin8r - male characters are shirtless and objectified all the time. if you wanna participate in opression olympics, have at it. most people have moved on.

@dragon316 - Carol Danvers would like a word.

@Matchesz - I think you're right.

@1stDalek - and as I say, isn't exactly the first time, or indeed the first time of negative reactions to implied exploitation of females in comics and some are trying to paint this as partisan.

I mean almost every other time there was any form of protest of risqué stuff with female characters it tended to be more the right wing bible bashing crowd being blamed for shouting about it (and NOT saying it ever was specifically one side or another, religious or not). I mean go WAY back to early Wonder Woman and it going all the way to the House cos of implied BDSM and perceived excess sexualisation ultimately resulting in the comics code authority in the 50's (which technically only became fully defunct in 2011, even if it started becoming far less strict and closely adhered to long before that) or a couple decades later the reactions to the rape of Carol Danvers.

There will ALWAYS be times of characters falling into the grasps of demons/demonic types, every decade has some both male and/or female heroes the victims of it. There will oft be forced servitude of one kind of another such as when Gambit was in the clutches of a child slave trader first time he used his abilities in public. There will ALSO oft be negative reactions to such thing, the ONLY major difference now to a couple decades ago is the shield of anonymity and ease of messaging the internet provides meaning MORE hate of GREATER extremes faster and more often and NOTHING partisan about it, strong feelings on topics of rape both sides of the aisle regardless if that IS what this strip is implying in the views of some.

On the face of it I DON'T see a huge issue covering this sort of thing in comics, depending on how it is handled and the outcome of it. As in if the comic makes out bad things happening to a character IS bad and eventually the hero overcomes that bad/is saved it need not be any more a problem than doing hero becomes a violent drunk for a while and redeems themselves or abuses a drug of one kind or another and comes out OK at the end of it with a strong message to readers that drugs and alcohol abuse are BAD. It only becomes a potential problem IF it is for too graphic for young readers without suitable warnings/sales restrictions so that parents are easily able to judge if they feel their kid is mature enough for such things without assuming it is PG and don't need to CHECK first if suitable.
