The Milkshake Menace
By David Futrelle
Like the titular character in The Princess and the Pea, the members of the Great Internet Lady Hating Machine have developed a truly impressive sensitivity towards the slightest perceived discomfort. And so it shouldn’t really come as that much of a surprise that a small army of perpetually outraged comics fanbabies are currently losing their collective shit over a milkshake selfie.
On Friday, Heather Antos, a Marvel comic editor who just happens to be a woman, tweeted a selfie featuring her and a bunch of her female co-workers enjoying some delicious beverages together. “It’s the Marvel milkshake crew!” she announced to her Twitter followers.
She was immediately swarmed by a squadron of fanbabies furious that such “fake geek girls” had made their way into Marvel’s inner sanctum.
How all these Tumblr SJW fake geek girls club are editors at Marvel?

#MakeMineMilkshake The Milkshake Crew is a gaggle of Fake Geek Girls who were hired to be Diversity window dressing. Fraud & Distraction.

You're right, @DiversityAndCmx. No life experience, the creepiest collection of stereotypical SJWs anyone could possibly imagine. https://t.co/ywIRk8UTYx

According to Antos, the private messages she got in response to her tweet were considerably less polite. “[T]he internet is an awful, horrible, and disgusting place,” she wrote, noting that she woke up Sunday, two days after she posted the selfie,
to a slew of more garbage tweets and DMs. For being a woman. In comics. Who posted a selfie of her friends getting milkshakes.
And yes, the fanbabies are still going at it today. For many of Antos’ “critics,” the selfie proved a perfect excuse to rant about Marvel’s alleged “anti-white, anti-men agenda.”
What's sad is that Marvel is pushing a feminist agenda.
Why are ya'll always like

This is why marvel comics is killing the industry no one wants to be fem moaned feminist propganda in a superhero comic.

Maybe Marvel should just close shop. I'd rather that than see them lose their dignity for a Marxist agenda.

But now that Marvel Comics is run by white knighting old men and garbage SJW millennials, no one wants to read their dumpster fire comics.
— JoJoh No! (@Red_Vanguard) July 31, 2017
One fellow wrote out a mini-manifesto explaining how the eeeevil SJWs were destroying comics.

The critics filled their angry tweets with an assortment of buzzwords that will be instantly familiar to anyone who followed GamerGate.
— Diversity & Comics (@DiversityAndCmx) July 31, 2017
Remember when comics were about superheroes and not a safe space for feminists to create female characters who constant reassure each other?
— (((Joe Higashi))) (@CanuckCon) July 31, 2017
Third wave feminists and SJWs have poisoned Marvel, there's a reason those books are left on the shelf, people aren't buying the narrative.
— Sponge (@darling_kun) July 31, 2017
Not that the fanbabies didn’t have their own “narrative” to promote. One of the central tenets: that so-called SJWs only pretend to like comics.
Is it any wonder than that when you only cater to people who only pretend to like something, that you don't see good sales numbers?
— The Bechtloff (@thebechtloff) July 30, 2017
Comics themselves were irrelevant, SJWs wanted another notch on their bedpost of Moral Victories. It was never about content, just control
— Roland Frazier (@rjfrazer) July 29, 2017
Sales plummet when they decided to forego their audience for Tumblr virtue-signallers who don't buy books. https://t.co/8cdp1j8dbJ

Some saw the all-female selfie as a threat not only to men but to … white people in general, predicting an imminent White Genocide of Marvel characters.
Diversity for #Marvel Comics means get rid of all White Men.
— Veritas (@Veritas4UToday) July 30, 2017
In 5 years the only white characters @Marvel will have will be a bunch of ever increasingly stupid alternate reality versions Gwen Stacy.
— The Bechtloff (@thebechtloff) July 30, 2017
It didn’t take long for things to get creepy.
Better have her sign a consent form, she looks like the "false rape charge" type.

Naturally, the reactionary fanboys turned on those who offered solidarity to the Milkshake Crew.
#makeminemilkshake is another deflection tactic so that SJW Marvel creators can avoid accepting criticism.
— Top Trap (@eldermeeseeks) July 31, 2017
A talentless "creator" sent up a "White Knight" flare & the betas of twitter rode in on their cucksteeds. Also Marvel sales #'s still suck
— YagamiFire (@johndavidson83) July 30, 2017
The Milkshake White Knights are a parade of nitwit SJWs who think they're legit marching on Selma or something.
It's HILARIOUS.
— Daddy Warpig (@Daddy_Warpig) July 31, 2017
And others tried to dismiss the whole thing as fake:
Notice she didn't show any evidence? All comic creators are getting mild criticism and it's "muh vagina". pic.twitter.com/UFO9SWYR0H

Jack Kirby was medevaced for frostbite from a combat zone.
Heather Antis had 3 people not like a pic.#MakeMineMilkshake

Female Marvel editors claimed harassment and then the hashtag was started just to virtue signal for them.
— Brian (@laughingdrag) July 31, 2017
No actual harassment was shown or proven. Marvel simply encourages infsntilizing its female editors. https://t.co/L970hfnchq
— Diversity & Comics (@DiversityAndCmx) July 31, 2017
The manufactured harassment narrative has become PR. The pain of others is a product sold to virtue-signaling morons.
— StompyMech (@Stmpy_Mch) July 31, 2017
Happily, at this point the “virtue-signalers” are winning. A wide assortment of non-reactionary comics artists, sellers and fans, female and male, have been showing their solidarity with the Marvel Milkshake Crew, filling the #MakeMineMilkshake hashtag with tweets like these:
