Alt-Right’s Ted Beale launches comic series to “trigger” the Left

Theodore Beale

In another life (and on another site), I once blogged about far-Right troll and über-bigot Theodore “Vox Day” Beale with some regularity, until it became apparent his only distinction from any other racist slimelord is his planetary-sized ego (hence the self-aggrandizing, coquettishly misspelled moniker). I am utterly unsurprised to see he’s since become a personality amongst the alt-Right – he certainly fits right in with the pro-Nazi crowd.

He also really hates “SJWs”, those delicate snowflakes who are also responsible for every societal ill nowadays, and he’s unveiled his new weapon: a terrible comic! No, really:

Beale told his fans that major comic makers are “methodically, purposefully, absolutely attempting to destroy every value—every American value, every Western value, every Christian value that they can get their hands on” by creating spinoffs of popular comic series that depict classic characters as black, female and Muslim. Beale’s answer to that perceived attack is to fund the creation of a comic series that features “triggering” white characters that smoke cigarettes, wear Confederate flag costumes and combat left-wing protesters.

The trailer, which was debuted yesterday, features a character that is “doing the job the police don’t want to” and “cleaning up the streets one illegal at a time.” The series promises “storylines, not social justice” and revolves around a collection of superhuman heroes that defy a United Nations “Superhuman Protection Council” and act as vigilante crime fighters who apparently use their rogue status to target undocumented immigrants and left-wing protesters.

The comic’s name? Alt⭐️Hero. A bit on the nose; he’s certainly not hiding who the intended audience is. It also rolls off the tongue better than “Spank Rag for Fascist Wannabes”, I suppose.

Other than that, the silliness of Beale’s new project is evident in itself, so I’m gonna go back to forgetting he exists until the next time he’s mentioned in my RSS feeds, perhaps when he reiterates that Whites should secede from the US or that throwing acid in women’s faces is okay because it keeps them subservient, amongst other gems.
