Misconception: "ComicsGate doesn't want any politics in comics."
Truth: Stories with political messages are great, when stories come first, the politics are subtle, and all viewpoints are permitted.
We're definitely against using comics as propaganda for social engineering.
Misconception: "ComicsGate is against Variant Covers on comics."
Truth: Variant cover incentive scams from publishers to retailers, (buy 100 copies to get this 1 special variant) are killing comics.
Publishers directly offering fans and collectors more CHOICE is always good.
Misconception: "ComicsGate is against diversity in comics."
Truth: Everyone should be welcomed into this hobby. When comics are excellent, diversity is the natural result.
We're against Forced Diversity, where representation is the primary concern, and story suffers.
Misconception: "ComicsGate wants women out of comics."
Truth: We want activists out of comics, and that includes feminists who don't seem to like comic books, and demand changes of them to suit a bizarre worldview not shared by the majority of fandom.
These folks aren't fun.
