Marvel Comics writer and television producer Steven DeKnight is halting work with Marvel after learning that Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski once invented a Japanese persona to publish comics.

“How does this man still have a job? Completely unacceptable,” DeKnightin which he eventually announced his resignation. “I love working with Marvel but will not pursue or accept future work until this is resolved. I hope other more high profile creatives in the comic book biz will follow suit.”

DeKnight has written for several Marvel comics, such as “Wolverine: Black, White & Blood.” A representative said Marvel has nothing new to share about the matter. Cebulski admitted in 2017 that he used the name “Akira Yoshida” and published several Marvel comics under it in the early 2000s, many of them with Asian characters and themes.

“It’s just another example of non-Asians feeling they are more authoritative than actual Asian people,” Keith Chow, the editor-in-chief of The Nerds of Color, a cultural criticism site, told NBC News in 2017. “People of color are not costumes you can just wear when it suits you.”

It’s quite common for Asian people to use European names so that they can interact with Westerners more easily. A westerner does something similar and gets ‘cancelled’ for it.

I love people that cancel themselves. Hopefully soon we will just be able to ignore those who do.

A young Benjamin Franklin pretended to be a middle aged woman to publish editorials to his local newspaper. Don't see the problem here.

I know niggas online who go by shogun and Japanese names just because they like anime so I can understand why he went by that pen name if that was the case. I have lived in Japan before n they really don’t play about names it’s very personal. He should admit he was wrong

I’m sorry. If they were good they sold. If they weren’t they didn’t. the world has a few more important things to focus on don’t we think? Collapsing democracies, looming hyper inflation, a pending biosphere collapse, and an out of control pandemic For starters.

Why did it matter?

A man can be a woman but not a Japanese? Okkaayyy whatever

Y’all, it’s time I come clean… I’m not *actually* with the US Dept of Fagriculture, this is an invented persona and I’m here to accept my cancelling, because we are a serious country with serious problems

Cancel marvel

Urm, okay…

And I thought superman was the bisexual one
