Gabe Eltaeb, a colorist working on DC Comics's "Son of Kal-El" series, had announced on Tuesday that he will not be renewing his contract with the comics giant.
Eltaeb said that the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back was when DC Comics brass removed "the American way" from Superman's slogan:
"What really pissed me off was saying truth, justice, and a better world. F*ck that; it was 'truth, justice, and the American way.'"
"My Grandpa almost died in World War II; we don’t have a right to destroy sh*t that people died for to give us. It’s a bunch of f*cking nonsense," continued Eltaeb, according to Bounding Into Comics.
Superman as a comic has gone full "woke" in recent years, including a full coming-out of Superman's son as bisexual recently.
"I’m finishing out my contract with DC. I’m tired of this sh*t, I’m tired of them ruining these characters; they don’t have a right to do this."
"At Comic-Con in 2009, I was pushing Jerry Robinson’s wheelchair around. That’s the man who invented the Joker."
"I would work the DC booth back then. I remember bending down to his face and telling him, thank you for creating these characters, so people like me can waltz in and get a job. It’s not about gay or anything else."
Eltaeb went on:
"They call us bigots and racist and sh*t, I would ask them, find me in the f*cking mainstream, not on the fringes, one f*cking book, one f*cking t-shirt, one movie that says that leftism is bad, and conservatism is good, find it for me, they f*cking won't. They’re not letting people have a voice, they’re the f*cking bigots."
"Sorry. That’s been bottled up for five years."
