Archie Comics to Introduce Transgender Character
PJ Media ^ | 05/16/2023 | Matt Margolis

In recent years, we’ve watched Marvel Comics and DC Comics go woke, introducing LGBT versions of your favorite superheroes… with disastrous results. When DC Comics released a woke version of Superman, making the titular character not only bisexual but also a social justice warrior — it only lasted 18 issues before being canceled due to lack of sales.

If there was any franchise you could count on to hold onto the wholesome values of the past, you probably thought you could Archie Comics would be a safe bet. Archie Comics has been a beloved brand for generations, captivating readers with its light-hearted stories and iconic characters. The franchise has enjoyed a longstanding reputation for providing wholesome entertainment.

The comics emphasized values such as friendship, loyalty, and the pursuit of happiness, and parents could feel comfortable handing an Archie comic to their children.

However, the influence of dangerous progressive ideologies in content for children has even infected Archie and the Riverdale gang. According to a report from io9, a longstanding female character in the Archie universe, Danni Malloy, will be reintroduced into the franchise in the Archie Horror line, as a male who has transitioned to a woman.

“I’ve been wanting to make this happen for a long time, and it’s really cool to see it finally come to fruition. I never wanted Danni’s trans identity to be gimmicky, or for her [sic] to feel like she [sic] was only created to be trans. So, I’d like to apologize for sneaking her [sic] over the line like this,” writer Magdalene Visaggio told io9. “I wanted you to have a chance to fall in love with her [sic] for who she [sic] is, not what she [sic] is.

Well, I don’t read comic books any more & now, with this latest move, it’s doubtful I ever will. As I recall Archie comics used to be concerned with clean but funny stuff, now it has gone into another whole arena...Some of it might be funny, but there is nothing funny about the crap they seem to be promoting now. It’s really not fit for children so who’s going to read it? Sick folks, I would guess; people who should know better. In the meantime I can only hope they go broke trying to sell that trash.

well your father was wrong to tell you that, i read comic books when i was kid in the 1960’s were fun to read in the summer months.

My siblings and I were all avid book readers, as were our parents, but we kids also loved reading DC comics and Archie comics, among others. We traded them with our friends and bought them with our allowance.

Looks like those are yet one more thing the vile left has destroyed with their depravity and the desire to push that on children.
