Colin Spacetwinks' mammoth 70,000-word essay Comics and Cowardice is mostly a deep dive into widely-derided Captain America series of late, but takes general aim at two things in comics and other media:
1. Authors who address racism, sexism and bigotry in an obvious, on-the-nose way, but when criticised for some element of it deny cold that the work has any political dimension at all or insist that they have said nothing.
2. Guys in the biz who do or say grossly unacceptable things, but receive minimal discipline and maximal support against those reporting on it.
