Also, as usual, the perception seems to be that it’s generally a white, western savior type pushing the idea that they’re trying to … [Read more…]

October 17, 2017 by Trever Bierschbach Leave a Comment
Censorship in American Comics

You know how you get less diversity in art?  Book Banning and Mob Outrage, that’s how.  If you haven’t been keeping up with the news in literary circles recently you may not even know that here in the U.S. we have schools still censoring books.  We also have mobs carrying digital pitchforks and demanding book … [Read more…]

Wonder Woman is Bisexual…And? Opinion

October 14, 2016 by Trever Bierschbach Leave a Comment

Creating Untouchable Characters Will Kill Diversity Opinion
