I googled him to see if I could find the gist of his claims. I can't find a single thing from him, but I can find a ton of takedown pieces tearing apart this episode.
(Bret Weinstein is leaning hard into the IDW thing. DarkHorse? Really?)
Moreover, consider the appalling anti-Japanese political cartoons that Dr. Seuss made during WWII. Is there no merit in seeing the flaws of someone we otherwise hold in such high regard? And to understand that maybe something broke in the minds of otherwise nice people when a little incident at Pearl Harbor happened?
