>Marvel originally planned for the proceeds from the comic to go to Oxfam for its work in Africa. After previewing the book, the organization refused to accept the donation. The Oxfam representative found the comic "racist, sexist, and reprehensible," particularly taking issue with the presentation of women in the comic, especially X-Men heroine Storm, who is of African heritage. The representative apparently also believed the comic's logo had been stolen from the singer Janet Jackson (the Jackson family were major supporters of Oxfam) and refused to believe Marvel when they explained that their Janet Jackson was a different person.

>The proceeds were instead given to the American Friends Service Committee, with the first check being in excess of $500,000.

Yeah, I don't know if it's intentional on Claremont's part, but the whole thing sort of highlights how silly and frivolous the whole superhero vs. supervillain business is in the face of something like real-world famine.

Although I guess you could no-prize it and say the X-Men made regular trips to Africa during their off-time, at least before shit got too crazy even for them.

>>85023439
True.

It's a very weird read (it's all over the place in terms of what it's trying to say), and I can sort of understand why Oxfam didn't like the comic. Still, I don't know if turning down half a million dollars made practical sense in the charity's efforts to help the starving in Africa.

>>85023849
Bleeding heart liberals felt sorry for everyone, even if they didn't deserve it - like, say, for murderous criminals.

They didn't go around insisting everyone else was racist and sexist, even when they were doing good works.

They saw the best in people, even when it didn't exist. SJWs see the worst in people, even when it doesn't exist.
