comic fans we've gotta stop with the "it's not that deep". everything is that deep. we should be thinking more critically about the comics we read
"what is this about" everything!!!! the minute you critique a story or author for being misogynistic or racist or bigoted in any way, people come out of the woodwork with the "it's not that deep"s and many other phrases like it, trying to justify and defend something just because they like it.
a critique doesn't mean you can't like something! you just need to be aware of the bigotry in the media you're consuming and how it affects every part of the story. you need to be thinking critically about why certain things happen to characters of certain demographics. you need to be aware of misogynistic and racist tropes. don't just mindlessly read.
