Part 2/4:
One of the more perplexing consequences of this infiltration has been observed in the comic book industry. The speaker expresses bewilderment at how companies that once appreciated storytelling have shifted dramatically. In the past, editors were often writers first, deeply passionate about storytelling and craft. Currently, however, there's a noticeable decline in such expertise.
Companies now tend to employ individuals whose primary focus isn't storytelling but rather pushing specific agendas. These new hires may lack the experience and skills necessary to craft compelling narratives, leading to a decline in the quality of comics. The art of entertainment, which is fundamental to comics, seems to have been lost or sidelined in favor of ideological messaging.
