What /co/ thinks about The Children’s Crusade?

"It wasn’t until Wednesday of this week that Rio de Janeiro’s councilman Alexandre Isquierdo took the tribune to blast against Marvel’s “coward attempt to propagate homosexuality amongst our children,” while simultaneously stating that this outrage was not homophobic. On Thursday, Sept. 5th, Mayor Crivella, through the Secretary of Municipal Public Order (SEUP) ordered that the organizers of the Bienal do Livro should immediately remove every volume of the Avengers: The Children’s Crusade from every stand, or risk arrest and loss of their license. The same afternoon, Rio's City Hall dispatched municipal guards to carry out the sweeping. However, after briefly talking with the organizers of the Bienal do Livro, the agents left the premises."
