Comics Alliance has drawn a lot of heat for being an SJW cesspit. One of their writers, Janelle Asselin, has been extremely vocal in pedaling the SJW agenda through her work there. Examples of her idiocy include this article on the Batgirl cover and this one on the Calgary Expo. If that wasn’t enough, former Comics Alliance editor Andy Khouri now works for DC Comics, which would explain why they’ve suddenly shifted to catering to progressives.That he's now working for a company that's being methodically destroyed by SJWs today is very bad. Avoid all titles/stories where he's credited, IMHO.
And that's not the only source who indicated they view him as a bad lot. I found another item, written by a guy who's of Arabic descent, of all people, who thinks he's awful. The page I linked to is for a repost, because the original entry was apparently deleted, but the original text is still available:
This is Andy Khouri he’s the former editor of Comics Alliance (the Kotaku of comics sites) and he’s now working as an editor at DC Comics because again the comics industry is in the shitter right now and they are trying to pander to SJW’s and feminists not realizing that SJW’s and feminists don’t really give two shits about comics and just want to complain about stuff because that’s all they know how to do.How about that. A man of Arabic descent finds Khouri's ilk reprehensible too. And was even willing to say so. Unfortunately, there's no chance he'd ever be able to get into their business so long as people like Dan DiDio are running the store.
You know what’s funny about this whole thing? Comics Alliance used to be very anti DC back in 2011 when the first issue of Red Hood and the Outlaws came out they trashed that first issue and it’s writer Scott Lobdell (even going so far as to publish a hit piece on him calling him a misogynist and sexist because of the way he depicted Starfire) so I don’t understand why anyone from DC would look at this fucking site and decide to hire someone from there to work as an editor.
Call me crazy but if I was someone who worked at DC and I saw someone trashing the stuff we were publishing I would ignore those people and try to not make contact with them because they’re a massive liability to the business. I wouldn’t bend over and hire someone who worked there to please the “progressives” because those people aren’t the main target demographic.
This is why I want to make it into the comic business to give people like myself who actually care about good writing and storytelling an alternative to this bullshit. We as comic fans deserve better than having our hobby be run by idiots who constantly defend con artists like Anita Sarkeesian and her ilk.
I kinda wish ComicGate was a thing because shit like this needs to fucking stop. But that’s the problem with the world that we live in companies are too scared of being called sexist, racist and homophobic that they have bow down and kiss “progressive” ass just to stay relevant in the media.
For now, it's good to know there's other people out there who can't stand Khouri either. He's a very bad lot.
