They’re actually talking about it? How many people under 30 watch their channel and actually know what Archie comics are? It’s a non-story.
It seems like just about everything nowadays has a political statement.
Why is Archie getting shot, and saves his homosexual friend in the process?? Why is it the homosexual, of all of the characters, who gets saved?
Why do so many TV shows have homosexual characters nowadays? And why are those characters invariably cast in only a positive light???
Why are clergy on TV frequently presented in a negative way?
None of this is coincidence. Liberals are now to the level of using comic books to indoctrinate people.
I read Archie comics when I was young, many years ago. I fondly remember the adventures of Archie, Betty, Veronica, Reggie Mantle, Jughead. I remember Miss Grundy and Mr. Weatherbee from Riverdale High School.
At the risk of nostalgia clouding memory, I certainly don’t remember any political statements being made about social/political issues, such as they have decided to do with homosexuality nowadays.
In 1975, there were probably twenty-five million Americans who knew Richie Rich and Archie. Today? I’d put the number closer to 200,000.
If you go browse around the internet, the Archie company won’t even discuss current readership...which might be a red-flag that they are way down on monthly sales.
To bring the numbers up? Well...honestly....Archie would have to take a bullet for a gay Hispanic guy from the Ozarks who really wants Jughead bad, drives a black Camaro, cleans Veronica’s Mom’s car every Saturday while wearing spandex, and is a re-re-reborn Christian but won’t admit it in public.
Seriously, I just can’t imagine any eleven-year-old kid today....reading Archie unless they are stuck at Grandma’s house for the summer and she’s buying this comic book stuff in discount from the local grocery.
