'They think third-wave feminist comic book stories are going to bring girls back': Chuck Dixon bashes Disney, woke comics

Blaze Media Reports: Legendary comic book writer Chuck Dixon explained that the comic book industry's strategy of "feminist" storylines will not bring back a once formidable audience of young women, nor will Disney's transformation of male-centric franchises into "girly stories."


The former DC Comics and Marvel Writer, who now writes for the independent Rippaverse Comics, called the comic book industry's latest attempts at storytelling tired injections of "third-wave feminism."

Dixon added that not only are the new stories void of what comic book readers enjoy, the content actually turns the typical fan away.


Dixon spoke to Bounding into Comics' Brett Smith, who pointed out that companies have been abandoning the key male demographic in recent years.


"Something else we’ve talked about is that it’s always been a ‘male-centric,’ or it’s been a industry which has been driven for male readers, for boys," Smith said.


Dixon interjected saying "Not always! Not always." Dixon then explained that in the "'50s and '60s, it was girls buying the comic book market.”


"'Archie, Young Romance' sold three and a half million copies a month for years," he noted. "You had lots of romance titles. You had 'Archie.' And girls were reading regular comics too! They were reading 'Little Lulu' and 'Uncle Scrooge' and 'Green Lantern' – my sisters read Green Lantern because they though Hal Jordan was cute!" the writer continued.


Dixon, who was recently quoted as saying that new comics are "literally shaming the reader" with woke storylines, said that the industry "totally abandoned that [female] market," and now "they don’t know how to get it back."
