From Wikipedia
Comicsgate is an alt-right harassment campaign meant to oppose diversity and progressivism in the North American superhero comic book industry. Its proponents targeted the creators hired, the characters depicted, and the stories told, and claimed that these elements have led to a decline in both quality and sales. The name is derived from Gamergate, a similar movement related to video games. Its members present it as a consumer protest, primarily advocating their views on social media; some have produced books intended to reflect the group's values. It is part of the alt-right movement, and has been described by commentators as a harassment campaign, which "targets women, people of color, and LGBT folk in the comic book industry". Threats of violence, as well as the vandalism of one store, have been attributed to the campaign.
