A female Marvel comics editor posts a milkshake selfie — and fanbabies throw a fit

The Milkshake Menace

By David Futrelle

Like the titular character in The Princess and the Pea, the members of the Great Internet Lady Hating Machine have developed a truly impressive sensitivity towards the slightest perceived discomfort. And so it shouldn’t really come as that much of a surprise that a small army of perpetually outraged comics fanbabies are currently losing their collective shit over a milkshake selfie.

On Friday, Heather Antos‏, a Marvel comic editor who just happens to be a woman, tweeted a selfie featuring her and a bunch of her female co-workers enjoying some delicious beverages together. “It’s the Marvel milkshake crew!” she announced to her Twitter followers.

She was immediately swarmed by a squadron of fanbabies furious that such “fake geek girls” had made their way into Marvel’s inner sanctum.

How all these Tumblr SJW fake geek girls club are editors at Marvel?

#MakeMineMilkshake The Milkshake Crew is a gaggle of Fake Geek Girls who were hired to be Diversity window dressing. Fraud & Distraction.

— Diversity & Comics (@DiversityAndCmx) July 31, 2017

You're right, @DiversityAndCmx. No life experience, the creepiest collection of stereotypical SJWs anyone could possibly imagine. https://t.co/ywIRk8UTYx

— DarkJester (@DarkJesterofOz) July 30, 2017

According to Antos, the private messages she got in response to her tweet were considerably less polite. “[T]he internet is an awful, horrible, and disgusting place,” she wrote, noting that she woke up Sunday, two days after she posted the selfie,

to a slew of more garbage tweets and DMs. For being a woman. In comics. Who posted a selfie of her friends getting milkshakes.

And yes, the fanbabies are still going at it today. For many of Antos’ “critics,” the selfie proved a perfect excuse to rant about Marvel’s alleged “anti-white, anti-men agenda.”

What's sad is that Marvel is pushing a feminist agenda.
Why are ya'll always like
"Yeaaa I'm a woman! Look how much of a man I can be too!"

— Gabriel McRay (@MonsieurBallin) July 30, 2017

This is why marvel comics is killing the industry no one wants to be fem moaned feminist propganda in a superhero comic.

— Ceecko of one (@Ceeckoful) July 30, 2017

Maybe Marvel should just close shop. I'd rather that than see them lose their dignity for a Marxist agenda.

— Maeko (@MaekoDaekal) July 29, 2017

But now that Marvel Comics is run by white knighting old men and garbage SJW millennials, no one wants to read their dumpster fire comics.

— JoJoh No! (@Red_Vanguard) July 31, 2017

One fellow wrote out a mini-manifesto explaining how the eeeevil SJWs were destroying comics.

— Budmin of Kekistan (@W00dlee) July 31, 2017

The critics filled their angry tweets with an assortment of buzzwords that will be instantly familiar to anyone who followed GamerGate.

— Diversity & Comics (@DiversityAndCmx) July 31, 2017

Remember when comics were about superheroes and not a safe space for feminists to create female characters who constant reassure each other?

— (((Joe Higashi))) (@CanuckCon) July 31, 2017

Third wave feminists and SJWs have poisoned Marvel, there's a reason those books are left on the shelf, people aren't buying the narrative.

— Sponge (@darling_kun) July 31, 2017

Not that the fanbabies didn’t have their own “narrative” to promote. One of the central tenets: that so-called SJWs only pretend to like comics.

Is it any wonder than that when you only cater to people who only pretend to like something, that you don't see good sales numbers?

— The Bechtloff (@thebechtloff) July 30, 2017

Comics themselves were irrelevant, SJWs wanted another notch on their bedpost of Moral Victories. It was never about content, just control

— Roland Frazier (@rjfrazer) July 29, 2017

Sales plummet when they decided to forego their audience for Tumblr virtue-signallers who don't buy books. https://t.co/8cdp1j8dbJ

— Diversity & Comics (@DiversityAndCmx) July 30, 2017

Some saw the all-female selfie as a threat not only to men but to … white people in general, predicting an imminent White Genocide of Marvel characters.

Diversity for #Marvel Comics means get rid of all White Men.

— Veritas (@Veritas4UToday) July 30, 2017

In 5 years the only white characters @Marvel will have will be a bunch of ever increasingly stupid alternate reality versions Gwen Stacy.

— The Bechtloff (@thebechtloff) July 30, 2017

It didn’t take long for things to get creepy.

Better have her sign a consent form, she looks like the "false rape charge" type.

— The Bechtloff (@thebechtloff) July 30, 2017

Naturally, the reactionary fanboys turned on those who offered solidarity to the Milkshake Crew.

#makeminemilkshake is another deflection tactic so that SJW Marvel creators can avoid accepting criticism.

— Top Trap (@eldermeeseeks) July 31, 2017

A talentless "creator" sent up a "White Knight" flare & the betas of twitter rode in on their cucksteeds. Also Marvel sales #'s still suck

— YagamiFire (@johndavidson83) July 30, 2017

The Milkshake White Knights are a parade of nitwit SJWs who think they're legit marching on Selma or something.

It's HILARIOUS.

— Daddy Warpig (@Daddy_Warpig) July 31, 2017

And others tried to dismiss the whole thing as fake:

Notice she didn't show any evidence? All comic creators are getting mild criticism and it's "muh vagina". pic.twitter.com/UFO9SWYR0H

— Capn Cummings (@DoctorDooomile) July 30, 2017

Jack Kirby was medevaced for frostbite from a combat zone.

Heather Antis had 3 people not like a pic.#MakeMineMilkshake

— Diversity & Comics (@DiversityAndCmx) July 31, 2017

Female Marvel editors claimed harassment and then the hashtag was started just to virtue signal for them.

— Brian (@laughingdrag) July 31, 2017

No actual harassment was shown or proven. Marvel simply encourages infsntilizing its female editors. https://t.co/L970hfnchq

— Diversity & Comics (@DiversityAndCmx) July 31, 2017

The manufactured harassment narrative has become PR. The pain of others is a product sold to virtue-signaling morons.

— StompyMech (@Stmpy_Mch) July 31, 2017

Happily, at this point the “virtue-signalers” are winning. A wide assortment of non-reactionary comics artists, sellers and fans, female and male, have been showing their solidarity with the Marvel Milkshake Crew, filling the #MakeMineMilkshake hashtag with tweets like these:

As one of my favorite people/editors on this earth I stand with you always @HeatherAntos. 💖🔥💪 #MakeMineMilkshake pic.twitter.com/61Y9poT0Xi

— Paulina Ganucheau (@PlinaGanucheau) July 31, 2017

You know what goes well together? Ladies, comics, milkshakes. Solidarity from Portland, @HeatherAntos! #makeminemilkshake pic.twitter.com/jKQcDOoIPf

— BookswithPictures📚 (@bookswpictures) July 30, 2017

comics + milkshakes + solidarity make for a lovely Sunday afternoon.
we got your back, @HeatherAntos. 💕✊️💜#MakeMineMilkshake pic.twitter.com/AVxopsf9ai

    We’re not a monolith though. Even within our own countries. We have anti-communism and conservatism to thank for that. We’re still plagued by the poisonous ideologies left behind by fascist dictators and their fact-resistant hordes of idiots.

    Someone should tell them about Kepler-16b.

    I recently described the shenanigans at the White House as “the biggest clusterfuck since M22 and w Cen hit it off on Tinder”; but nobody got it. Wish you or EJ had been there. 🙂

    Ah hah! I could load up my index of several hundred videos on agroforestry, watershed management, fighting desertification and other exciting goodies, but I won’t.

    What I _will_ give you is …

    Ethiopia. Abaháui – The Father of Fire.
    India. Hiware Bazar: The Water Miracle
    Kenya Wangari Maathai green belt movement
    China Lessons of the Loess Plateau

    The Abaháui, Wangari Maathai and Hiware Bazar videos show what can be done when one outstanding individual inspires a village or a region – and even earn a Nobel Peace Prize in Wangari Maathai’s case.

    The China example is of terra-forming on a massive scale – the landscape of the “project” is the size of Belgium. One thing to note about the China and Ethiopian govt run projects – they can only get the population fully involved when they finally, _eventually_ realise that nothing will get done without changing-granting land rights.

    If you hunt around for videos on India, particularly the Maharashtra region, for watershed management, you might like to think about the approach of WOTR – started by Father Hermann Bacher. They don’t just get everyone involved in building check dams, they make damned sure that women are empowered by-during the process. Very different from Maathai’s approach, but different strategies for the same ends. Whatever you want to do about culture-religion-social structures, there’s a couple of examples of combining hard physical work with literacy and other social change.

    As a long-time Marvel fan, I will never understand why these individuals would have ever read Marvel comics, and I somewhat suspect that many of them never did. Marvel has always been quite progressive for a comics publisher. I mean, Black Panther and the African nation of Wakanda – the most advanced country on Earth in the Marvel universe – were introduced back in 1966! How progressive is that?

    Northstar, an openly gay superhero and mutant, has been around since 1979. Storm, a black woman, led the X-Men for a while back in the ’80s, and has been team leader several times since then. And M aka Monet, a mutant heroine who was introduced in 1994, is a Muslima. Granted, she’s not particularly religious (unlike Dust, an Afghani mutant girl who joined the Xavier’s school in 2002), but she’s still an example of the diversity that has always been part of the Marvel universe.

    Needless to say that Marvel’s writers have always strongly condemned racism and other forms of prejudice, bigotry and discrimination against minorities in their stories. There may have been unconscious biases on display in past decades, but Marvel has never catered to the misogynistic, homophobic white supremacist crowd. And until a few years ago, I’ve never heard this choir of complaints about alleged “SJWs” with scary agendas in the comic book industry. I have a hard time believing that these types have ever been actual Marvel readers and fans.

    @Whoever

    There are tons of female created comics especially depending on how you parse things.

    DUMB by Georgia Webber is a great comic about coping with a disability.
    ZODIAC STARFORCE by Kevin Panetta & Paulina Ganucheau is a magical girl comic
    SPELL ON WHEELS by Kate Leth, Megan Levens & Marissa Louise is a witches on a road trip comic
    IMMORTAL SOULS by Joamette Gil is a upcoming kickstarter and follow up to POWER & MAGIC. Both are beautiful anthologies
    MAGDELINA by Tini Howard, Ryan Cady, Christian DiBari & Mike Spicer is cool horror comic
    REDLANDS is a new comic by award winning colorist Jordie Bellaire
    Tini Howard is also writing Hack/Slash, Power Rangers:Pink and Assassinistas (later drawn by frick fakking Gilbert Hernandes)
    KORRA coming out through Dark Horse has female editors, and Irene Koh (line artist)& Vivian Ng (colorist) are working on it.
    SMALL FAVORS by Colleen Coover is really great
    MY LESBIAN EXPERIENCE WITH LONELINESS has everyone all broken up
    Iron Circus is putting out loads of books by artists like Melanie Gillman and Sophie Campbell
    MOONGIRL AND DEVIL DINOSAUR has a mostly female team
    I mean that is an absolutely small start and I can keep going if you need me to, but I can make it more targeted if I have your taste in comics.

    MOONGIRL AND DEVIL DINOSAUR

    AKA the Marvel comic that endures despite the dudebros counting on its cancellation since at least issue #4. (Apparently Marvel made a deal with Scholastic, who sell a metric shitton of it in schools, but as that’s not going through Diamond (the quasi monopoly of comic book distribution), it doesn’t appear in publicly available sales data.)
