Precisely why I got out of comics...if I want reality with a leftist slant; I can read any newspaper.
Anyone buying this "they take no position" BS only needs to take a glance at the actual comics. Does anyone even suspect that gay marriage, for example, is ultimately frowned upon in Ex Machina? Probably no "good" character comes out in the end and says "It's bad," but the folks interviewed for this article never point out that the position the makers of a comic take doesn't have to be put into explicitly-stated dialogue in order to get across to readers.
