>Do comic writers these days simply not understand that people like comics and want them treated with respect?
They do. The problem is that they have redefined what respect means in their bubble. To most fans, respect would mean not violating the established tones or traditions, consistent characterization and canon, and keeping the quality inline with the rest of the series among other aspects.
To the SJW, respect means lowering the bar and fucking up shit for normal people. They think respect means pushing for diversity, and I'm not just talking about adding a nig or fag to the cast of a book, but a push for people like Leth or Gabby Rivera to be given a voice in comics regardless of their actual writing abilities. Why care about continuity? They think that just makes a book less accessible to new readers, while giving them a convenient excuse to not have to do homework. They think the reason girls don't read GI Joe or something is because the older books didn't respect girls, but their's will and they don't care if they have to disrespect the old to make way for the new. All for the greater good.
