A conservative comic book creator was deplatformed from the crowdfunding website Kickstarter because the vigilante hero from his book is depicted beating up MS-13-esque gang members while saving a black woman from being mugged, with Kickstarter calling the gang a “marginalized group.” The letter read, “As a Public Benefit Corporation committed to fighting inequality and creating a more equitable world, Kickstarter does not allow discrimination, subjugation, or intolerance towards marginalized groups.” Miller fired back at Kickstarter on Twitter, writing, “Hey team @kickstarter, it’s nice to see that you consider MS-13 a ‘marginalized group’, since that’s the only people who were being ‘subjugated’ in the artwork I provided… More wokeness from the tech companies on display.” It is mean-spirited political bias by Kickstarter, no question, but its decision is still quite unbelievable to protect what the Justice Department has called “the world’s most notorious gang” that targets juveniles and dismembers victims. Can you believe this?
