I’m not a big comic book guy, so I haven’t been as invested as some in being appalled at the SJW takeover of Marvel Comics. As someone who only paid a smidgen of attention to the issue, it was hard to tell if this problem arose within the staff of Marvel, or if there was an actual fanbase. Given that sales have apparently gone down as a result of the SJW-ification  of many of the titles, I assumed that it was a problem within the Marvel offices. So when news came out that Marvel was teaming up with Northrop-Grumman in order to bolster STEM, I figured that the Marvel leadership was pulling its head out, and that the fanbase would approve.

Ooops.

Marvel cancels controversial Northrop Grumman presentation at NYCC following backlash

The “backlash” came from an army of Twits  who claimed to be horrified that a comic book company that has made billions of dollars off of fictional weapons designer Tony Stark would team up with a  company that builds the weapons that keep their nation safe. And Marvel didn’t just cancel the presentation, they cancelled the partnership.

It may be that the Twitterbots who were complaining were that small portion of the fanbase who are thrilled with the neutering of characters like Iron Man, or if this is a larger symptom of idiocy among the fanbase.
