Comicsgate

right-wing campaign against diversity in the comics industry

Comicsgate is a campaign led by graphic novelist Doug TenNapel against diversity and progressivism in North American superhero comic book industry, believing that these have led to a decline in both quality and sales.[1][2][3] It is similar to Gamergate, which is related to video games.[4][5] It is part of the alt-right movement and a harassment campaign.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] It has been blamed by critics for the vandalism of one store[3] and threats of violence.[15]

Analog Devolved of Kiwi Farms is part of the Comicsgate movement.
