Blaze Media Reports: Celebrated comic book writer Chuck Dixon argued that while comic books haven't always been woke and progressive, many have turned into the personal point of view of writers who shame readers with the political opinions of the author.
Dixon , who has written for Marvel and DC Comics dating back to the 1980s, has worked on iconic characters such as Batman and the Punisher.
While routinely taking fan questions on his own series called " Ask Chuck Dixon ," the writer was asked about the idea that comic books have always been "woke/political." The fan added that he thought the X-Men in particular weren't always politically correct and "definitely NOT woke."
"It’s funny, isn’t it? The thing about wokeism, and political correctness, and all the rest of it is the goalposts are always moving," Dixon replied, according to Bounding into Comics .
Dixon then remarked how X-Men comic book writer Chris Claremont turned the characters into "professional victims" but was still criticized by progressives. Claremont came under fire in 2022 after he gave " inflammatory remarks " at a comic book event .
The writer reportedly referred to slavery in a fictional setting and jokingly corrected himself after referring to the movie "Men in Black," saying, " sorry, Persons in Black ."

Oh for the days of good vs evil. Now it's slimy, slippery, shadowy, unclear stances against everything that is simply good. Unless you are a one legged, blind, non-white skinned rage poet, you are wrong and are to be shunned or put in jail.
